Wow! I googled my anatomy instructor's name and look at the list of movies that came up! I knew she worked for Disney for 12 years but I did not know she worked on so many movies I loved! Look at this list from IMDb. I haven't seen the three most recent but everything else I loved!

I have a headache, and I hate it. I have had recurring tension headaches my entire life, even and especially when I was a little girl. They can last for days on end without letting up. Sometimes I get lucky and medication will actually work,.... sometimes.

It's late August, 2oo9. I just returned from LA this morning, where I was for the Tattoo Hollywood Convention. It was awesome, and I got a really beautiful piece done by White Trash Matt. The experience was one I'll never forget and the landscape of LA is beautiful, all those mountains are glorious. The hazy skyline and visible air pollution was a little off setting, as was the ever present reminder that LA is the gang capital of the world. I got props from a Crip for sitting tough for a 3 hour tattoo. He said I had balls, I dig it. We had a 9 hour drive home due to a 4 1/2 hour traffic jam for no discernable reason, didn't get home until 5am. Attempting to sleep in a Kia Rio proved fruitless, especially with 3 other people in the car. I love my tattoo and now of course I'm once again bitten by the 'I want MORE ink bug'.

According to my dA, I didn't write a single journal in 2oo8.

Hmm.


Anyway, I just wanted to stop and say THANK YOU to the 123 people who have added my tattoo to their favourites. Looking back I actually feel a bit bad, the picture was taken a day or two after I got the tattoo, so it's all crusty and the bloodline is still visible. I shall endeavour to upload a new, HEALED version. It's still as bright and colourful as it was then.

Also, THANK YOU to the 69 people who have added my photo Fifty Fourth to their favourites. I love how an accidental photo I took at a stoplight can touch so many people.

I hope to upload a lot more work soon.

Well, I'm sitting in the first class, on the second day, of my college career. I'm at the computer nearest the window, furthest from the projector and amiable teacher. I get better reception over here and there is some peace to be found in watching the cars go by on the freeway. I battled my way through California Morning Rush Hour on that freeway to get here by 8am. Let me just say, drivers in California have a whole new category of INSANE they fall under.

I have class on Tuesday and Wednesday, for the next eleven weeks. Then a week or two of break, and right into Spring quarter. The Art Institute of California - Sacramento does not have a summer break, the school runs all year. I will graduate sooner with my Bachelor of Sciences degree in Graphic Design.

Kevin has class on Monday and Tuesday, and he is working toward his Associates Degree in Culinary Arts. After he gets his AD, he will work part time to get his Bachelors as well.

I have to say, I'm a bit nervous but at the same time, not. I am EXCITED.


SOOOO anybody in the greater Sacramento area, drop me a line, come hang out!
