the week has been spent cleaning, messing up, baking cookies, visiting with my sister, cleaning up, messing up, binding zines, playing with the puppies, staying up with Paco who has been sick, binding more zines, freezing ass off, drowning in peanut butter cookies, why did we make so many?, freezing fingers off binding more zines, pondering handmade paper, walking through michaels talking about 'red balls' before we realized what we sounded like, and yet finding no freaking red balls, updating etsy, pondering new zines, and getting to know my computer (gifted by my mom when she got a new one). i just read about 60 friends entries on LJ and found that is my limit. at least 2 people are moving, and i have no idea where or why or when. these adverts on LJ are driving me nuts, but i can't bring myself to re-up my paid account, because it was this or flickr. i chose flickr! i've been thinking about painting something. i would probably tattoo something, but it's far too expensive. plus it hurts. we don't like hurty. apparently, i have a we problem this week. just go with it. i baked too many cookies. do not want. |

Depression is depressing
Every time I come back to Sacramento, I become embroiled with a rage to change my major to something that will allow me to come back and wreak havoc on the tradition of cultural suicide that is this city. It is so devoid of logic in urban planning, environmental legislation enforcement, and community building that it is a total cultural wasteland. I feel like the only people who live here simply don't know any better. It is a festering cesspool of greed and selfish employment, and it suffers. The people suffer. This place is an abomination to humanity. |

I feel so angry and horrible right now, and not really for any reason at all.
I've spent nearly the entire week in other peoples company and they constantly feel the need to do something "fun".
Im a fucking introvert and I can't stand being around others constantly, I never have time to do my own thing, like sleep, read, scan negs, update flickr, sew, draw, add things to my folio, just random boring bullshit you do when yr alone.
I feel like Im constantly being rushed from person to person as a form of entertainment.
All because Im the doormat who will go where they wanna go and eventually spend all the money I DONT have.
Im depressed, going through a 50g pounch of a tobacco in less than a week, and drowning myself in any alcohol I can get my hands on.
But supposedly Im having fun.
I really fucking need to disappear, but I have nowhere to go. Current Mood: desperateCurrent Music: black cab |

mail art calls
i hosted a little wicked chunky page swap over on art42 and had only a few artists participate. i love small swaps. the big ones can get to feel like a chore when they take 2 hours to swap out, but i will always, always do the big ones for FAVs.  speaking of which, FINE ART VALENTINES (7) 2010 is open for signup!. i'm hosting it @ art42. additional open projects include:  Spiral Bound Zine #2 : Spiral Bound is a zine about self recording and exploration via text and image. Why do you journal? Why do you write? What form does your self expression take? Send in 3-5 index cards (3x5 inches) written or drawn, or journaled, with your answers, sample journal entries, or your thoughts on the necessity of expression, your favorite mediums, your methods, or your madness. Be creative and experimental. Send a journal entry. Carve some stamps. Play with a photocopier. Glue on some art or include a photograph.  Self Portrait & ATCs Zine : create 3 ATCs, either shaped or the traditional 2.5x3.5 inch size (just be sure they fit individually into a clear plastic sleeve). Send them to me, and I will choose one or more to include in a mini zine to be included in returns, along with one ATC from another artist. You may use any sort of self representation you wish from an atc constructed of a photograph, an ATC constructed of an embellished photocopy, a hand drawing, a painting, a collage, a text portrait... anything! You can represent yourself as you are, yourself through your artist's filter, yourself as a horror movie actor, yourself as another artist, or yourself in the vision of another artist (yourself via Frida Kahlo's style? Perhaps yourself imposed in a Dali painting?) Type a want ad, type a haiku. Put it on an ATC.  Layered Cupcakes, Skellies, Crows, & Poison ATCs : For this trade, you will trade between 3 and 6 ATCs on this theme for the same number in return. You can either combine all or multiple elements of these cards, or simply go with a single one on each of your cards. This is a hand drawn or painted swap, so please be sure to use your own work, not stickers or images from other places. Please use layers of paper and paint, or mixed media of your choice. Cards should fit into a plastic sleeve. Note: You may also do El Dia De Los Muertos cards for this swap! It's never too late in the year for creepy Halloween or El Dia imagery!  25 Images, 25 Days : For this project, you will make 25 ATCs over the course of 25 days (or a monthish). You can make them in batches, if you wish, or one every day for the period of time. It's all up to you. You may use traditional photographs cut down, collaged, or in pieces. You may use digital collage, photographs, etc (but they MUST be high quality if you use digital, see below). You may also paint, or draw or collage your ATCs. You do not HAVE to use photos in or on your ATCs if you'd rather not. See DanEldon.org for inspiration. You may, of course, hand alter anything you make with markers, gel pens, sewing, etc.  4x4 Heart Shaped Chunky Pages : For this swap, you'll make and send in between 3 and 6 chunky book pages, depending on what you feel like doing! If we get a full signup list, please feel free to send in 8. The theme is open to interpretation, though the pages themselves must be heart shaped. You can embellish them as you wish, and use mediums of your choice. Your hearts should be 4 inches in one dimension and at least 2.5 in the other. So you can choose to make 4 inch wide and 4 inch tall hearts, or long and skinny hearts as you desire. I cut 4x4 squares, then drew in the biggest hearts I could with pencil, and cut them out from there. (the 4x4 inch pieces pictured here were made with collage elements, gesso, acrylic paint, gel medium -- maaaany laters -- and gel pen.) |

For you!
I have been selflessly scouring the database at Lala to make you this Christmas Mix. ;-) I was inspired by the Sufjan Stevens Christmas 5-disc CD and there are a lot of his songs on here (how many other people in the last ten years have 5 Christmas records?). But, there are also others, too. There are some nice vintage songs in the middle and although it is generally pretty mellow, it picks up a bit near the end. I hope you enjoy it. |

rough week.
it's been a rough week. on sunday i found out that one of my classmates is a missing climber on Mt. Hood. she went up climbing with two friends on Friday and they haven't been heard from since. one of the men was found dead, from hypothermia on Saturday. they are all extremely skilled climbers, but no one is sure if they have the proper gear for being out so long. i am not sure how, but there is speculation that Katie got injured and the climber they found was heading back down the mountain for help when something happened to him. this all just sent me into a tailspin. i don't know here that well, but i sat in a class of 20 students with her 4 hours each week for three months. you get to know someone a bit. she is kind, thoughtful and excited about being a social worker. she was doing outreach work with homeless women and specifically working with women in the sex trades. she was interested in doing work with folks that were being trafficked. in my experience, she was just a nice person. i saw her last tuesday when i was turning in a paper. we exchanged pleasantries, both excited to be done with finals and getting to take a break. we said see you next term and that was that. it's so strange to think that she may not be sitting in class next term. my mind also wanders to the places of what the last few days have been like for her. there is a part of my brain that is holding space for her being alive and just waiting in the subfreezing weather to be found. i find myself talking to her, offering her encouragement and letting her know she is loved. in the other half of my brain, holding space that if she is gone, that it was quick and painless. hoping she didn't have to suffer and left this earth doing something she truly loved. another tough thing, and i can't imagine how her family is handling it, is all the victim blaming about what the climbers should and shouldn't have done. i think there is a time and place for debate around this, but not right now. not while the families are dealing with the immense amount of grief and potential loss of their loved ones. give it a minute people, really. the one sunny spot, i did get my grades from fall term today. one A and two A- all of which i am really pleased with. so friends, if you have the space in energy, hold a little spot in your heart for my classmate and for me...
