Christmas Presents Underway

Well.. not quite underway, but I have the materials! I went out and bought a few balls of cotton yarn today, for knitting some happy little christmas presents soon. They're little projects, that shouldn't take more then a night or two to finish, so I ought to have time.

I stopped by the new Winners on Bloor St. today too. Not bad. Very busy. I bought a new wallet :) It's got lots of little pockets and was a much more reasonable price then some I've looked at. Beats my old wallet, which was being held together by an elastic band (ooo... dirty student, I know).

Had an.... incident... with the laundry. I think I'd rather not go into details (why did I mention it? Because I'm a tease, that's why).

Yeah... didn't do much homework today. Oh! But I was asked if I would be able to help out with another shot this weekend, for a project I had really wanted to do earlier, but there weren't really any positions available! Sweetness... extra points! And the only class I'll be missing (twice, ouch) is one I'm not particularly fond of (watching Lord Of The Rings extra features does not a class make... let alone 3 classes). So cool!

I think... I may be over the hump...

Shhh.... don't jynx it... But... I might be almost done with the most of my work for this semester in school. I've got 4 out of 6 points so far on my portfolio project (and at least one of the other 2 will be mine by the end of this weekend), I've got the first draft of my script written (and I think it's damn good - and I scored a meeting with the writing teacher in the first week of meetings, so I'll have the maximum amount of time for my second draft), I finished a survey for my New Trends class... All I have left is to sort out my survey info, that second draft of my script, a website (which'll take a little while still), and finding that elusive co-op for next semester (the hardest task apparently... I need to get more serious about it I think). Gosh... I honestly think that's all I have left...

Maybe I'll get all my christmas knitting projects done after all.... musn't speak too loudly though...



......knock on wood....

Christmas Scarfage Progression!

Well, Erica's punky scarf is nearly complete. It's mostly black, with stripes of fuzzy eyelash (doubled with regular black for support), and occasional stripes of pink.

And then there's the besotted scarf, with it's occasional little mishaps, progressing nicely. You don't really see the accidents, and it's for a forgiving recipient who will appreciate all the time and effort that went into making it (my mom).


First time with cables - it's slow going... but enjoyable... just have to give it lots of attention!

The righting of my world

Good evening!
Sleepy... In a warm and fuzzy way, not in the grumpy must-stay-up-just-a-little-longer-to-finish-storyboards kind of way. I've got storyboards for one entire production done! 130someodd shots baby! Yeah! One more biggie (100 or so) and then a nice little 35 shot project to go! I've finally been getting my ass together and am searching for my co-op. It's supposed to run 11 weeks and start in January, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I land something related to writing for children's television. That's all the stuff that was stressing me out, but now I'm acting on my co-op, and have organized (and am making headway on) my projects!

Not so much headway on the besotted scarf - but I'm almost done a punky scarf for my cousin Erika for Christmas!

As my camera batteries charge, I leave you with a picture I took in the summer at the CNE. It feels so bright and fun and somehow behind-the-scenes and.... a little bit blurry, lol.

Lost my digital camera charger...

So this post will be pictureless for now. But I plan to add a picture of my super-cool jack-o-lantern soon! Didn't do anything for halloween, I had homework, but I hope everyone else had a good one!

Oh, and I'm sick of "quaint"... what a cheesy, over-used word.
