thunder cloud club

awe, the thunder cloud club. a concept by jmac calhoun. i drew this for her to send with a letter this weekend. today's a busy day. breakfast at the camelot (which we've renamed cameltoe), tattoo shop all day, sushi making dinner with some peeps, and late night movie and sesh with loki. i'm looking forward to all of it.

i now have a thesis deadline so i have to get rid of some commitments, ie. crafts. so between now and march 31st i'm off of crafting, kind of. no more stitch n bitches or knitties, unless i'm doing drawings, which is good. and bring my life back to work and roller derby. i'm really liking working out so much, though i'm in a bit of pain today. a little bit of pain.

FO: Alligator Scarf

Pattern: Morehouse Farms Alligator Scarf (link, rav link).

It took me about two months to make passing both Christmas and Stewart's Bday. But, all the ends are woven in and he's super excited to wear it to work. The repeats in the pattern were a bit mind boggling for me. They were easy to do, but following them was a little tiring.

Today's better. Though I'm tired (I wonder if I gave in and drank coffee if it'd be better) and have a small sense of dread being at work. Bleck.

Rav link for project.

today was monumentally shitty. coupled with not taking a lunch, only eating [homemade] cookies and a power-shake, and being underslept (i hate winter right now) my work day was pretty challenging (ie. scheming ways to get old men from grooming youth who access our centre, dealing with people on drugs, and people yelling at me >> FUN!!!). and to top that off i felt like i got nothing accomplished at work. so i've started to make mini-lists of things i accomplish in a day, which will esp. help at reporting time. my next stop is to get my office more sorted and to get two smaller desks in there, primarily so i don't have to sit at my monstrous desk anymore. it's a bit oppressive it's so big, and low.

thanks to lovely friends who called to check in on the shittiness i'm feeling a lot better, so much better in fact that i broke down and agreed to rent tropic thunder. the peeps at the video store know my name. hm. what was i saying about missing summer? teeth was there, but i was more in the mood for an oscar nominated parody. and fluff, really, so i could finish this blasted alligator scarf. yes.

i miss working out while my tattoo heals too! i think that if i could go to the gym and work up a big sweat rather than suck on my pepsi slurpee and lay on the couch things might be a lot better. anyway, off i go, to kill this alligator once and for all. xo
