Ready for the big (star)bucks.


Yes, indeed! That is me: Certified Barista. After nine days of training and many-a-mocha, I had a brief interview made a few espresso drinks, and au lait!... certification.

Now I must take a nap. I open tomorrow at 4:45am, and I don't want to be latte.

Har har har.

Two of my earliest entries in my art journal, started about a month ago.

I Have Been

So, I've been absent for a while. I suppose I've felt that I need to write something to entertain people, when it actuality this should be primarily for me, and if I happen to be doing nothing of interest, that shouldn't deter me from blogging.

I have been playing World of Warcraft.
I have been reading.
I have been working.
I have been creating in my art journal.

In respect to the penultimate. I have a job! Not one of monumental importance, not a career, but a source of income, and a means to get by while I learn Adobe Creative Suite 2, work on my portfolio, and save for grad school. I work at Starbucks, and free coffee is ever so delightful.

As for the last, as much as I enjoy my art journal, I find it hard to take that last step to make it truly personal: writing in it. I like to show people my work, but if I take that step and write in it, it becomes another issue of only writing that which I would not mind people reading, or just squirreling away the journal for myself. (Difficult, as I have to leave it out for the paint to dry.)
