I am cold and tired and hungry and there is nobody here to baby me even a little bit which is making me sad. First world problems, yeah, but I’m working hard and I wish that I was not alone right now.
sometimes it’s nice to be with people.

So my ex’s mom bought him metal tupperware one year for christmas because apparently the plastic stuff lowers your sperm count
I found this article on reddit about how bad WiFi is for sperm and I really really really want to send her the link.
Spreading chaos and confusion is my idea of a great exam week.

Thoughts While Watching Work of Art
okay, a street art challenge is pretty cool, if useless and silly if considered pragmatically.
why are they spray painting this chick’s dress to pick teams? What? Who thinks artists actually do that?
also wtf sort of advice is “BE BOLD!” even if it was shouted in an adorable accent. Be bold doing what? Bold how? COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC?

Being a Real Adult is no fun
Or, How I Stopped Giving a Fuck and Learned to Passively Hate the System
Insurance is no fun. My university plan says, “hooray! We cover all your glasses! And your chiropractic! And your dental! AREN’T WE GREAT?”
SunLife then says, “No, actually. We cover part of all that. And not like you think we do. Also our claim forms are confusing and we take forever to mail you...

On previous shitty relationships
Casey Barker is trying to befriend me on facebook again.
Sunshine, for those of you who don’t know - and it’s remarkable that you don’t, I tell everyone about this shit for the simple reason that a) it’s the worst thing I’ve ever done and you may judge me accordingly and b) the more I say it the less it hurts - was the asshole friend of mine who triggered the...

So this is going to be mushy, you can skip
but honestly looking at it how the fuck did I ever date anyone else? We fit so well. All our friends get along - I’m sure there’s ones that don’t but it hasn’t happened yet - we agree on most things and discuss the ones we don’t, he’s sexy and smarter than me (which is difficult to find, modesty tossed completely...

TEA PARTY YOU GUYS
WE SHOULD HAVE ONE WHEN EVERYONE COMES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK
there can be sledding and mug cakes and tea and tiny sandwiches because tiny sandwiches are adorable and later we can start a revolution.
And for the love of god somebody has to show up in a top hat.

Memory Loss
I just realized I may have lost the cheque that came back from my health care claim about chiropractors and glasses.
This is a very bad thing.
That is christmas shopping money right there and I don’t know what’s happened to it and I’m 95% sure it didn’t get deposited.

Custom Puzzles
we could do eet! Costs might be a bit of a bitch, but it’s something to think about. Not something you see much, at any rate, and it’s better than all the same damn jewelry or selling those freaking feathers (SO MAD that that became a thing I was going to do it dammit) or kitschy knitted items. Some things are nice at craft fairs but they’re a bit of the same, usually, and I...

On Painting Portraits
So in the critique last wednesday we had a loooong talk about my work and others from which I gathered the following three pointers on painting portraits:
don’t give a fuck about capturing likeness, just get the structure of the head right and lay on the values correctly and the likeness will take care of itself
don’t give a fuck about what YOU look like when painting a self portrait...
