new years and such

New years is only one thing for me this year! a 3 day weekend WOO! Mums in Victoria right now, visiting with Aunty Dewey. Wonder how Deweys CT scan went....
Sunday We're meeting mummy at the Lougheed mall to  do spot of shopping. There was a Nightmare before Christmas wallet there that I saw when we were Christmas shopping. My wallets a little chunky for my smaller bag.
I'm waiting for my Zune HD to com in the Mail. Due Jan 6th, so Jeri will be able to pick it up on the 7th... Hopefully. EEEEEE! So exciting!
I'm going to die waiting for it :)
I've had an encouraging response to my Copic class so far. within 12 hours of sending my email blast out, I had 3 People enrolled! Just great! I really gotta get cracking on the stuff I need for it...lol...
So I got the Michael Jackson Experience game for christmas, and I finally got a chance to give it  go. Its not normally my type of game (not much of a dancer lols) but it's fantastic! it's a great game! played it for over 2 hours.
Whee!

anyway, watching little house, going out for breakfast tomorrow morning if anything is open!

Christmas!

I'm on my new net book :D mini little laptop of cuteness! still getting used to the keyboard being so tiny, lol.
I don't think i slept at all, and I got up at my normal 5:30am, but waited until 6. :>

Besides my little laptop, I got a little lap desk that my new lap top sits on perfectly! it's got a cute little cupholder that perfectly fits a can of coke, hee hee :D

I also got the Michael Jackson Wii Game, so excite! In my stocking I got a little pouch shaped like an eggplant, chocolate, groovy earmuffs, and tons of socks! Temple & jeff got me a bodum travel tea press, and a bag of tea!

----
Boxing day, we attempted to hit the malls; I wanted to get a case for my new laptop. I should have brought it wit me because it didn't fit. width was ok, length was not. boo! dissapointed because the were really cute cases. woolly plaid.  well.
got a neat spider ring, and the new Michael Jackson CD today, so I'm happy 'bout that, even though sme guy budged in front of me at Future shop. I count not beating the shit out of him as my charitable contribution for boxing day.

Gurukitty Studios: First Day of Winter Contest

Gurukitty Studios: First Day of Winter Contest: "It's the first day of winter! We wanted to celebrate our favorite season with a fun contest. Before we begin, let me taunt you with the priz..."

Nice comments

"I love that you are armed with Copics and not afraid to use them.. you will pull out colors to color things and I am like sayyyy what.. then it turns out so cool looking. When I grow up.. I wanna be like you and not afraid to step out of the box and grab colors that I normally wouldn't and just play." - Tracy S

Sometimes people don't realize how much of an impact their comments will have on people, but THIS...this made me SO happy!

Life Drawing Models Needed

 

Opus North Vancouver is looking to hire Life drawing models of all genders, shapes and sizes for un-instructed life drawing sessions to be held in 2011.

Clothed and nude models are needed, as well as props and well behaved pets.

 

The sessions are not instructed so the model would be self directed regarding pose lengths, props, etc. Models would be expected to provide artists with a nice variety of poses and pose lengths (we do have a pre-made schedule if you aren’t comfortable with that).

We would like the classes to be about 3-4 hours long each, and we are looking for weekend and weekday models.

 

We are offering 20$ per hour and we like to book our models a couple months in advance, if possible. 

If you have any questions or need more information please call:
604-904-0447 ext:2110

To speak to the Store Manager Ann, or the Coordinator Jeri 


You can also e-mail your portfolio/resume and cover letter to:

Tattoo, accomplishing nothin'

I'm getting This dino tattooed on my arm this Friday. Varian's going to do it for me. After work sometime. Should be interesting...

I've also jsut dyed my hair pink without gloves on. my fuchsia hands are really distracting as I type, and Veggie keeps licking them. Must be the fruity scent.

 I'm trying to write a resume, while Erica is working on my cover letter for a temporary position in the company I work for. I highly doubt I'll get it, I'm sure many more qualified people will be applying, but you know, cant miss an opportunity. I should really accomplish more on days like today, but instead I feel unaccomplished :<

 

Headphones

I need suggestions for great headphones (in canada) for less than 50 bucks if possible.

I've gone through so many in the last couple years it's not even funny right now. I had the skullCandy Low rider headphones for a while - my first paid the connection to the jack part got a loose wire so it flickered the sound - repeast scenario for 2 more skull candy headphones. then I had one Skullcandy pair actually snap at the band.

That was it for skullcandy for me, then I got a couple other ones, ear buds which are evil and other ones, then finally bought these Wesc Headphones. they had a replaceable cord, which was its selling feature to me, plus a metal band, not plastic. So then yesterday on the skytrain home, the cord by the jack started making the sound flicker on the one side again... now that i go to try to find a replacement cord, HMV (where I bought them) doesn't stock the replacement cords! Go to future shop he says... know what future shop has? HUGE long COILED ones.

 

Ug, what to do....

well, I cant worry about that now... Got copic classes to do....
