the first day of the rest of my life

Day 1 of NaBloPoMo...ahem...

Hai!!!

So anyway, the loft is sold! What a relief.

Except for fact that as of November 27th, we are moving in with my parents.

Sigh. I know.

I said I'd never do it. But we ARE doing it.

I mean, how hard could it be to find the perfect balance of price, size and location for a live/work space in the city? It's fucking impossible is what it is. At least, it's beginning to feel that way. The only real good house we've seen, and tried to bid on, sold for 70K over it's asking price. I guess that's why they call it a seller's market.

We're basically putting our stuff in storage and moving there until we can find a new place, buy it and move into it.

Anyway, let's forget about all that for a few moments. Let's contemplate some artwork completed for my 2nd-year painting studio course.

So....whatchu think?

nablopomo is coming...

things are really crazy right now. so i know this blog sucks doney balls.

but that's about to change.

well. not just yet.

i'm doing nablopomo in november. that means as of november 1st, i will be posting every day in accordance with the National Blog Posting Month challenge!

for reals.

i know you're quivering with excitement.

now enjoy this.


and my loft is still for sale. i know you want it.

My Summer Vacation (when I wasn't doing homework or renovating my home)

OK, so sometimes I still did homework.
























yes. i have webbed toes.

i love princess superstar.

OMG YOU GUYS!

So school started today and I figured it's about damned time I make a little time to post something here. In the last 4 weeks, we moved out the last of our shit, did a cosmetic reno of our condo, put it on the market and now school.

Poor blogger, no deliciously boring content to process...for so many weeks, days, hours. Le sigh. I love you all my 4 loyal daily visitors.

I'm contemplating ditching the whole poopeeshmoopee shtick and just using my real name. but I can't decide.

impossible is the opposite of possible

We're planning on putting our condo up on the market in a couple of weeks, and I'm kinda freaking out about it.I just finished summer school and will now spend the next week or so doing nothing but moving, painting, sanding, staining and replacing shit.




I'm in need of proper studio space and can't really afford to rent something on top of what we have, so it's time. There is dedicated studio and storage space at school for 4th-year students, but I'm only in 2nd year.



I didn't realise how much it sucks lugging all my shit around, especially when the lockers we are offered are usually not big enough to store anything larger than a knapsack and boots and a coat in the winter. Riding the streetcar with anything larger than a coffee? Ugh.



So once we sell...well, then we have to try to buy a new place and hope that closing dates work out and all so we're not homeless for a couple of months.



And I start school again in 4 weeks.



Gulp.

i am so disgusting

so disgusting in fact, that i earned TWO whole entries on imsodigusting.blogspot.com! i DARE you to beat that. HAH!

oh yeah, i also have wickid cramps right now and am totally burned out from ACING my last course of the summer, so blogging to resume shortly.

betch

i wish i got vh1. i don't even have cable.

I Hate My 30s

oh god.

holy crap!

i didn't forget about you, i'm just a total burnout, ya'll

There's 2 weeks left in my History of Modern Art course.


One written assignment due Thursday, and final exam next Thursday.


Then I'll have a life again.


Sort of.


We're thinking about selling the condo.


I know.


Crazy timing, but all signs point to moving in September.


I'm just looking forward to spending 2 whole weeks at the cottage in August.

whenever i see people riding their bikes in downtown traffic wearing headphones i wish this would happen
