fuck.

on all the celebrity reality shows they always have a 'life coach' which is crazy but i can't pretend i'm not jealous.

after telling tyler that lately i feel like i spend 1/4 of the day making myself feel crazy he told me that everyone does that. which made me feel better until i thought of everyone walking around just driving themselves mad. and which made me feel better until i realized that it doesn't make me feel any different.

i always thought that i would make things that reflected what i was thinking about. i guess that's not really the case because everything i've been making lately looks like i'm not thinking about anything. which is the opposite of true. eh, what are ya gonna do?

baby genius

while babysitting last night i was informed by oscar, age two, that he likes wearing his underwear backwards because he likes to be able to see the picture on them. i'm having a really hard time thinking of anything in the world more hilariously adorable than that.

bakereeeeeeee

tyler's mom gave me all kinds of baking goodies so i can start making baked goods from home. i'm so excited. best gift ever.

and the tea pot was pretty much perfect too. and the bathrobe.

2008

i know its dumb but i remember feeling really nervous this time last year because the number 6, when written, couldn't be easily changed into the number 7. as it turned out, 2007 was really freakin difficult. my hope is that, because a 7 is a lot easier to finagle into an 8, this year will be much much better.

to start things off right i'm going to clean my room and reward myself with a nighttime viewing of lost in translation. really.

crippled digestion

i went to my naturopath today about my stomach problems and i don't know if i feel better or worse. i told her i was cold all the time and that i was gaining weight and she took a bunch of my blood to test for food allergies and my blood was warm instead of hot. she told me i needed to go to another doctor and have them check for a bacteria in my stomach and to also have them stick a camera down my throat. then she gave me acupuncture and apparently my intestines are inflamed and my small intestine is holding the most tension and i might have an ulcer in it. which might be causing my thyroid to be having problems. hence the cold blood and the tight pants. which is fun.

tis the season

i was really hoping that making my gifts for people this year would alleviate a lot of stress for me. what i didn't take into consideration is that everything i ever make ever is a kind of complicated that makes my brain hurt in a good massage-the-knot-out-of-a-muscle kind of way when there is a manageable amount of it, but in a bad skull-not-big-enough-for-its-contents kind of way when i have too much to do. like right now. which is completely defeating the purpose.

its weird, now that i'm drawing again i feel like i don't have anything to write.

wintry mix

its snowed last night. i'm excited to leave the house to enjoy it before it gets deflowered by freezing rain and general new york uncleanliness. which probably means i've got an hour or so.


i'm selling things at a craft fair today and am really not sure if anyone is going to buy anything. also, i can't decide how much anything is worth. a professor of mine said once that pricing is awful because you always end up feeling like both a greedy bastard and a sucker. we'll see.
