busy month

 I've got one BUSY month going on! 

My Copic Class starts tomorrow! There is still time to register! I'm a little nervous, but then again... I'm not. I've had such a good response to my blog, and my many tutorials out there I'm sure I can make it worthwhile for the students. 

I am also teaching a second class through my work. I'm going to be teaching Acrylic Gel transfers In North Vancouver. If you're a card maker this is a really neat and unique way to add some dimension and texture to a card! Check out the information on the class here.

After these classes are all done, I'm going to try to get my natural life rhythm back! If my work schedule can be more consistent that would be much easier but I wont hold my breath on that one, or I'll turn blue and die.

I'm going to go back to working on my Comics consistently, and occasionally throwing out a free bee to you guys, though they won't be with the regularity they were in the past.

I'm going to go rummage for some food, and play my Wii (COMPLETELY addicted to the Michael Jackson game!) a little bit before diving into the colouring and making some more examples for my class!

so far in 2011....

.... I've done nothing.
I've been playing Michael Jackson: The Experience every spare moment I can. I'm so addicted to the game, I'm just glad it's a lot of physical activity I'm addicted to for once. It's great. small cramped apartment makes it frustrating though.

I got a burn on my thumb that didn't hurt so much when it happened, but once it started to heal up and turn into a scab, and then i caught it on my finger nail now it's exposed burn again :s

I've had the same cold for over a week now. My throat is sore constantly and the coughing is getting really old.
wish it would go away.

blorg!

 I got my Zune hd in the mail! its awesome! awesome! I'm so happy with it! wish I had a real zune case for it though. the one I got is made for an ipod and its not a perfect fit.
anyway, gotta sleeeeep

So ya, We had a long week at work. It's hard being completely chipper all the time though. especially since I've been surprisingly bummed about Michael Jacksons Death. Every now and then I wanted to be like "okay, someone else wave the pompoms and make ME laugh!". Oh well. We finished the inventory count pretty early, so we had a long afternoon too.

I've got a few things going on, that I'll blog about in Animated Guru :)

Ingalls (me) blowing dandelions

Kitty Singing in the Rain outside the Marquee

Mum loving the red nose that Axel gave her (not so much, she hated it so much she gave it to me)


Me (Ingalls) blowing dandelions with my new red nose ;)
Me (Ingalls) admiring the seahorse I just caught and added to the museum.


There :) We've been playing for the better part of the day LOL, it's fun. mums been fishing! I paid off my first Mortgage and my house should be bigger tomorrow. Nooks is closed for a remodel tomorrow too.

Trying to get a Friends code to share with you guys, but my new router is secured and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to give the wii access.

Soon I hope.

anyways, going to head home from mums soon, and i'll try getting wii on the net when we get home. I'll post my friends code here if I can work it out :)

new game, and stuff

Turned out Mytoons took a nose dive so my favourite place to upload animations is gone. Found out because someone reported that the Trailor for Conflagration was a broken link on our site.
so I re-uploaded it to Aniboom. Aniboom is good and fast but not as cozy as mytoons. I'll miss them :( And No I have no intention of Uploading it to dA. The uploader is too slow, and without a loading bar or any other indication of uploading besides a swirly dot, I dont even know if its working and most times its NOT. I loved dAFilm. I wish they'd work on it more and get it up to snuff.

SO, i got a new router! Some of you knew i had problems with my router just dropping the internet anytime it wanted, and I'd have to go unplug it, replug it back in and wait each time. It made skype conversations irritating, and uploading was brutal! I'd have to shove everything on a flash drive and take it to kittys computer and upload it there. I'd also almost never have it connect automatically when i started my laptop. I'd have to go fiddle with the router to get it to work the first time.
The new router is faster than my old one, and its connecting automatically, its password protected so people cant steal it from me, and so far, no problems. Installation was a BITCH though. but it worked :)

Not sure what I'm going to do today. I know i have a PILE of stock photos to upload to my stock account, and to enter in LDDs contest, i should really do that or I'll miss the deadline.Some of my Alberta photos and some more from the aquarium.

and i should take the opportunity to work on conflagration some but my tablet pen lost its rubber grip due to the ravages of time and now it makes my hand bleed if i use it too long :|

Got resident Evil 4, Wii version yesterday, and some more cradled panels to paint on. I've also been using Oil pastels to draw little thumbnails for future paintings. its been fun, but I don't like pastels much, they just seem to be useful for creating the look for my thumbs.

well, I need food.

Wii

Mum Got us a Wii For our birthday. It's been great fun :D the Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility has been so awesome! I think its one of the best in the Harvest moon series. I have a flock of chickens, a silk worm, and a goat so far. Its very cute, and challenging to raise money in.

We spent most of the weekend at mums eating ice cream cake and playing wii sports. Usually the game that comes with the system is pretty shitty, but Wii Sports is AWESOME! it really is! it uses the motion controllers the best! we were sore from bowling and golfing :D HA HA!! It's amazing and its fun, and its also fun to play with mum! We got Mario Kart and Animal crossing as well. I've not figured out how to get friends codes, or enter friends codes yet, but we will :D

I also got Joes book Experimental Magic. Its a MUST HAVE for Animators of all kinds! WOW, I was anticipating this book for a long time, and I was not disappointed. Joe did a nice little splash drawing in my book too <3

Back to help Kitty with harvest moon XD shes hitting geysers in the mine and is freaking out XD

Thank you everyone who wished me birthday wishes on facebook and dA! I appreciate it :D

New blog & interesting day

Well, I'm abandoning my Live journal. Its not as fun s blogger :p Plus I have my other blogs here anyways, it makes sense to contain them all. More people can follow here because next to everyone on earth has a google account to follow me :)

Today was interesting. Starting with last night, before we went home from work, we noticed this little calendar on the wall at work listing all the vacation time booked off by staff, and we noticed that we had the end of may booked. I didn't argue, but when we got home daddy was on skype, and he said he wanted to take us on a road trip to Alberta! He said, all expenses paid and no camping LOL! We'll finally be able to go to the Royal Tyrell dinosaur museum and see real dio country! We're also heading into Lethbridge. Awesome, I'm so excited.

This morning as we were waiting for the seabus, Kitty Squeed at something and when I looked up a huge bald eagle swooped into the docking bay, scooped up a black duck and swooshed away with a huge flock of seagulls screaming at him all the while! it was so amazing! Then Kitty phoned mum to tell her about it, and mum asked if we'd like to get a wii and play wii all day for our birthday instead of going out somewhere, since it's likely to be less fun weather on our birthday.

OKAY YA SURE KTHX!!! I DUN MIND ATTAL!!

HAHA! so it's proven to be an interesting couple of days! LOL

Jammy called in sick today, the day was chaos that short staffed on a Saturday. so was the night before, when jam left sick. I hope she feels better, and she gets back to normal soon. She's been downtrodden and negative lately. Hopefully things will look up after she has some time off.

Yesterday also, there were Reps from Canson (paper company) in the store and they gave us this Schpiel about Papers and how they're better than everyone else - which in itself annoyed me, but I have to remember they're american, and in all cases in my experience when it comes to reps, the americans act like its a sale, and will down talk all other brands, while every other countries reps will let the product sell itself. The thing that annoyed me about these guys is, he's talking about the double sided print paper, and he says " and this ladies, when you get married, or (gestures to ann) if you already are is what you're photographer for your wedding album would use, and make you a nice book to display your beautiful photos, 2 sided"

Ann is not married, and about 90% of the staff of Opus care more about paint than marriage, but besides that, WTF? you're selling Canson Artists Paper TO ARTISTS!! hello, fucking KNOW your audience you retard. i was so annoyed at that very narrow minded comment, but also annoyed that he wasn't even giving us the credit of being artists. The other Rep that was with him chimed in about how it could make an awesome portfolio as well - he probably saw the raised eyebrows his partners comment recieved. But gawd, really It was amazing how he completely ruined that experience. He had an opportunity to make us really gung ho about thier papers and he just wasted it.

Oh well, I'm going to go watch some Little House on The prairie and then go to bed :)
