Returning to the World of Interwebs

I have been lured back into the land of the blog! Mostly because it seems that quite a few friends have gotten into the habit, and I’m beginning to miss it. Here goes nothing!

So, as a way of getting myself started again, a list:

• Working with wood is HARD. I’m pretty new to the world of 3D (I like flat things better), and when this new way of thinking is combined with the need to use power tools without injuring myself, it becomes a bit much. I am not happy with my first-ever wood sculpture, but I am at least satisfied that I have explored a new medium, and given it my best effort. And once I’m done with this sculpture class, I can go back to photography and painting.
• Also my clothes are perpetually covered in sawdust, and I get wood chips in my hair. This is a minor irritation, but it also makes me feel pretty hardcore.
• My efforts to ease my cat’s fears of the family dog have this far been unsuccessful. I’m hoping to make her understand that yes, the dog will chase her in circles, and find her where she’s hiding, but then all she wants to do is look. Today I took Nuri (who is cat) outside in the backyard, where Rita (who is dog) came excitedly to find her. Nuri puffed up into a spitting furball and peed herself, while Rita took a nap.

• Hopefully my next painting project will turn out amazing. I am excited.
• I’m not sure if I’ll keep up with this blogging thing, but I’m pretty excited about it. I like the thought of having an organized vehicle for getting random thoughts out of my brain. I think it unlikely that my posts will be intelligent.
• I need to get Photoshop and Illustrator onto my new computer. Picasa just doesn’t cut it.
• I’m sleepy.
