tick pillow project
Student teaching has been coming to a close and I’ve been working frantically to get my portfolio completed. Typically I take such stress filled opportunities to create cute things, either by sewing or crocheting. Because the winter was so mellow I’ve seen a lot of ticks around. I decided to use this chance to make … Read more
Kids on the Slope and Space Brothers
Finally some anime that fits my tastes. Haven’t really had the time lately to watch the new season/old season. I’m still half heartedly trying out some shows from the last one…but most of it wasn’t worth watching more than two episodes. This season seems to have at least two shows that are right up my … Read more
Puzzles about art
Finished another book. Well, technically I finished it a couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness for mandatory reading time in school, otherwise I wouldn’t have had time to read anything this semester. Onto the book. I read “Puzzles About Art”. I first heard about this book from an Art Education professor that I had for … Read more
Writing on Drawing: Essays on Drawing Practice and Research
Because I seem to be on a writing kick, I’m going to prove that I do actually get things done. When I was little, I had so much time that I thought it was crazy to read more than one book at a time. After all you could just finish one real quick then read … Read more
Eden of the East, Redline, Fullmetal Brotherhood
I’m just gonna lump these three topics together. These are the most recent shows I’ve been watching with my husband/sister-tachi. After a long hard battle to find something to watch with my husband which could possibly measure up to Ghost in the Shell (note to self, work up to good shows, not down from) I … Read more
half gloves and mecha
I’ve been watching a couple shows from the last season. So far I haven’t really found much to really keep my attention for long. Chihayafuru is in its second season (if you go by 13 eps=season) and so far that’s been the most interesting. My sister suggested Inu x Boku. I think she may just … Read more

I’m usually pretty late to join fads. Most of my friends had Facebook years before I bothered to get one. I got a twitter account because it was required for my education technology course. Still don’t really use it. I’ve heard of sites before like tumblr, but am still uncertain to how it works/the appeal … Read more
iPost
Posting via phone to see how it works. May end up using this app in the future. Too bad you can’t delete drafts through the app. I may have to play with it more to see its capabilities. Otherwise I’m just hanging out in E-town helping Jeff clean his room, working on statements for show … Read more
scanlations vs. the real thing
These last couple of years I have ran across a lot of scanlations. Usually I haven’t thought too much of it at the time. If a series I like gets licensed over here I buy it. Often it’ll take me a while to, but I still do. My sister told me about a series she … Read more
graduate school and student teaching
This week will be my last week of my first placement in student teaching. I’ve been at two elementary schools teaching off a cart with one of the world’s best art teachers. Over these last couple of weeks I’ve learned so much and really gained a lot of confidence in myself. I’m no longer worried … Read more
