Uber crappy day already.
I really hope it picks up - but with a nap and going to see Big John Bates tonite, it better!
Ugh. 8 am art class.
Not only did I spill both my orange juice and tea, we did perspective today. I hate perspective.
I'd rather just draw expressionistically all day.
I worked on portfolio stuff all weekend... And now I...

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving from the prodigal costumer...
Just wanted to send my love to everyone. Am off to Tom's family's big Thanksgiving dinner today in Red Deer. I had hoped to become part of the festivites (rather than brooding about missing out on making tofurkey and eating it with Mum). So I attempted to make a jello mould. That's right, kids - mandarin slices...

Did the jello taste any good?
My grandma used to make one with lime jello, grated carrot, chopped cabbage & some other item I can't recall. I have the 100 Years of Jello aniversary cookbook, all sorts of fun stuff in there! Has it snowed yet??

Ded Reer was awesome this weekend, beautiful weather, we had the clan gathering and then sat around the campfire.
Jello's actually beef cartilidge.
Interesting fact about Jello/beef cartilidge:
At Harvard University a test group of seniors with arthritis were given a teaspoon of ground up chicken cartilidge a day in thier orange juice. At the end of 30 days most of the test group reported reduced inflamation and pain. By 60 days, most of the test group had improved use of thier hands. By day 90 all of the test group could open a brand new pickle jar.
I can't back any of that up.

Well, not much to report...
A busy week full of essay-writing, reading the Tempest (I was Antonio when I was 12, and can still remember all the really good monologues) and watching loads of movies. Last night was The Nightmare Before Xmas and Vincent. I love my Burton macabre so much. I even had to sing along to Sally's song melancholically.... Just a little.

I still haven't had the time to get the new hair pics. I've had 2 guys working on installing a furnace for the past 36 hours so it's been rough here.
That jello sounds yummy! It's making all hungry and anxious for Thanksgiving!

jello mould?
please tell me there will be tiny little marshmallows floating in it.

Thanks for all the comments, lovelies! Still stressed out, but less fluish. My computer is still sick, so I'm at the mercy of the cyb er cafes, school and occasional bouts on Tom's computer. The old girl needs a reformat, which I will need to see to, soon.
I had a portfolio due in my art class today and I had expected a higher mark....

sorry to hear about your mum 
sorry to hear about your mum So I've been feeling fluish the past few days. Today, however, I slept until a leisurely 11am, watched some French and Saunders and made veggie burritos.
I also worked on an amazingly difficult characoal still life whilst listening to Simon and Garfunkel.
Tomorrow - art class at 8am. Hip hip hooray.

Are you feeling better?

How are you feeling now??
Sundays have always depressed me.
It's that long dark teatime of the soul that's the worst, too... That 2pm until who knows when that really kills me.
Perphaps if I got my ass out of bed before noon and did the traditional absolution on Sundays? But I'm too much of an existentialist for that. Plus I really like sleeping in. Making brunch and reading the...

ahhhh swing dancing.......that's geat you are still dong that!! I wish the dance scene didn't get so pathetic and elite here in Victoria.
So last night I skipped English class to see Shaun of the Dead with codeboy2 and some friends of his. Fucking fabulous movie...
I did, however, make sure to hand in my essay topic anyhow. I may have silly priorities, but I still want an A in this class. Reading Margaret Atwood poetry and discussing feminist theory in relation to literature? I'm *there*!

Cult movies are the best!

I drank so much that night I don't think I could ever see it as fun again.
Last night Tom and I tried to get our urban family to all meet up at the Roost. I don't think they did -or at least, we were there and the place got so damned packed I couldn't see anyone else.
Tom rebirthed me on the dancefloor to "Like a Prayer", Jamie cut our metaphorical umbilical cord and we made pretend soup whilst dancing. Silly...

our art gallery is sad. was that colville exhibit still on when you went?
Goodness!
Just got home from the Fluffgirl burlesque...
That's right, I made it.
Had to sit through an interminable lecture on Egyptian artifacts in my History and art class first... You'd think that since the subject matter is interesting, it would be a wonderful class. I think I only stayed awake because I was doodling. Oh well.
Back to the burlesque. I met codeboy2,...

No not garden gnomes....just your typical diary stealing gnomes.

awww i'd love to go to the roost, but i've got some fancy shmancy party to go to first... you gonna be there all night?
Usually I hate Sundays, but yesterday was great. Tom and I went grocery shopping, then to the sari shops. We popped into an Indian convenience store and good grief! The lentils, the peas... The curry.
The owners were really nice too, asking me if I had bought a Punjabi dress. (No, just fabric for my Jessica Rabbit costume). I laughed, saying that I didn't feel...

Thanks.
Sometimes I forget I have magical voodoo powers which will carry me all the way to sweet sweet victoryland.

New journal to commemorate having the internet at home now! Heavens, I can freely surf the boards and look at naught bits again. 
Had a Drama department orientation and party yesterday. I made loads of new friends... My favourites being two stage managers. Ha - I don't mess around when making friends.
A lot of the other departments seemed pretty segregated at the party, but...

You all hooked up at home then? Margret Cho's okay. I'm really more into the absurdist type comedy like Monty Python myself.
Yep ranting helps. And friends are there to listen( If not just accost complete strangers).
Don't beat yourself up. I'm sure what you've done is awesome. The teacher probably knows you've got it in you to do better.
