an interesting find

So it's finals time...yaaaaaay...

*sigh*

I obviously am simply trying to distract myself from the many tasks at hand by blogging at the moment, but I wanted to share a new site that I've come across that I think deserves more attention...

http://watchingamerica.com/News/

Basically it's a website that translates and provides news to Americans (in English), about the U.S. written by and for other countries (typically in other languages). I think their approach is important and provides a viewpoint that's all too often overlooked by mainstream media. As Americans I think it's easy for us to live happily in our little bubble, and all too easy to forget about the world around us and what they think of what we're doing. But just browsing through this site was terribly interesting and fun.

Go look at it and ponder the change of viewpoint and how it makes you feel...kinda fun.

Okay really...back to work...I promise...

random design

while avoiding homework I played with illustrator to try and teach myself little things again. this is what I came up with, based somewhat on a thing I sketched (and posted in the previous entry). just some funness...back to work...*sleep*

New Images!

Okay Kiddies, in absolutely no special order at all, (in fact, I couldn't tell you what's what based on the crazy coding I see on my blogging thing now...) there are images here from Dr. Sketchy's, Alice in Wonderland (those sketches are now totally worthless by the way, since alice will now be a punk snowboarder and the Cat will be played by a star and the caterpillar will be played by a molecule... sad day, but in reality it makes more sense with the whole String theory ness... oh well), some random note things and some sketches from the Suicide Girls book we bought recently. I haven't been lazy, I 'm just terrible at updating this thing! sorry!

The end is here!

sad day, the end of spring break is already here. it was a lovely week of relaxing and securing an internship, playing and pretending to work. I got some things done so that's a plus. I would say that with the whole internship thing, this break was a huge success! Now it's crunch time...about a month more of school and I'm done until the fall...which will in any likelihood be an externship so still no classes until next spring! I'm almost done! this is crazy!

Bryce and I spent the weekend at his mom's house in Coon Rapids, just relaxing and watching movies. We got to utilize her jacuzzi and then we baked cookies! Overall an excellent way to end my break!

In a little bit Bryce and I are going to go to Spyhouse, but in the mean time I'm going to take some pictures of stuff I've been drawing so you people don't think I'm being lazy or something. how sad. I'll post them shortly...until then...toodles!

Internship, GO!

Good news everyone! I got an internship with Goodybeads.com where I currently work. The job that I've been doing has just been mindless grunt work but I went to them today with a presentation showing what I'm going to school for and what I would like to do for them over the course of two internships and a potential externship. They loved what I showed them and are excited to take me on as an intern but unfortunately they can't pay me for it...*pout* so I'll keep doing what I'm doing to earn some money to live on but plug in some hours doing the real fun stuff of the internship. I'm really excited to start, in fact once I'm done with this entry I'm going to fill out the internship contract and get that all set up and ready to go for tomorrow so they can sign it and I can turn it in on monday so I can start right away! wahhhh! why didn't I think of this sooner??? *sigh* oh well. I've got it now and that's what matters.

that's mostly it for now, time to get to work!
