i had that bob marley hold experience again today and it reminded me that it's been forever since i last wrote in here. what have i been up to?
well, first of all, i can't believe it's may already.
it's my birthday month and i am getting old! i have lofty dreams of making a total getaway to catalina island for the weekend of my birthday. actually making a getaway to anywhere would be nice. i've been craving a vacation/break for months now, it's so hard to take one when there are so many deadlines and i keep getting one important project after another, things i can't say no to! i'm honored to have so many cool projects on my plate, and so many of such importance to me, but i am burned out. with a capital B.
plus i've been volunteering one day a week which maybe doesn't sound like a lot but, man oh man... it sometimes takes a day or two just to recover from the exhaustion of running around, worrying about animals and multitasking in ridiculous ways, not to mention seeing animals put down all day. it seriously troubles me that i can't call out of volunteering when i have a project deadline too, i just end up burning the candle at both ends and resenting my volunteer job a little (ok, a lot) because they don't have enough volunteers as it is. they have a sign up that says "volunteers, take a day off! take a week off! take a month off if you need to!" (or something like that) but it is a LIE!!! the last time i asked to have a day off, they didn't respond.
wow, this post quickly spiraled into sadness! let me cheer this post up with something i think is ridiculous:
somebody said this art print of my painting from the shop looks like the brown cat is about to thwack the two (unsuspecting) cats on the right with an oar, and i think she's totally right and now it's the only way i can see this painting:

i've decided that the ultimate form of cruel, unusual and subtle punishment is putting someone on hold with bob marley playing as the hold music. it's happened to me a few times - one time was so brutal that i actually wrote a letter of complaint (an hour and a half waiting while listening to the same reggae rift!!!!)
yup.
i'm 11 minutes into listening to bob marley on hold with my hosting company as i'm expecting a daily candy mention tomorrow! wanna make sure my site doesn't die like last time. |

fellow painters:
i had a really good experience buying brushes through this site and wanted to pass on the link. good art karma.

i got about 100 of my fave synthetic brush for maybe 1/5 of what it normally costs at the annoying art stores in my town. they had awesome customer service and i got my order within about 3 days! stellar experience.
enjoy! |

we were given a copy of "Planet Earth" (bbc show) on HD DVD but we don't have an HD DVD player.. does anyone have a copy on regular DVD that they'd want to swap for an upgrade? |
