Mornings are lame

I will probably pretty much never do so many posts in such a short time, but if I don't do this now I'll forget it completely. Heeeere is the final result of the painting I've been working on.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with it, buuuut I'm gonna stop painting after dark using artificial light, because it's nowhere as green as I thought it was.

My mom is coming to visit today, and she's bringing me a toaster! The toaster here was Vanessa's, so when she moved out last summer she took it with her, and we've been using the oven ever since. When you're like me and you have the attention span of a goldfish, using an oven to toast things is just a bad idea. Many burnt bagels and slices of bread.

Now on to an actual post...

I've been extreeeeemely busy with school over the past couple weeks, and as a result have been stressed beyond belief! I haven't had much of any time for anything other than 10 minutes here and there on the internet, and homework. Occasionally I ate. But pretty much everything that's been taking up my time is now done and over with, and now I'm off for a week. I've got a few assignments to work on, but I don't have to go anywhere! It's awesome!

On Tuesday we had our third guest speaker in marketing, and he wasn't really addressing anything that hasn't already been covered so I just zoned out and started doodling randomly. Ended up with a small collection of weird alien things.

I'm sure you can tell which one I liked the most, because it actually got full shading and everything, and I decided I wanted to paint it. I haven't had much time for painting in quite a while, and Steve's parents got me a few canvases [in sizes I'd never used before!] so I figured I'd do it up. I just got it done but the sun set a couple hours ago so I can't get a good picture of it right now. Planning on doing it tomorrow, but here's a few progress shots.

Let's try this again...

At this point I'm not sure how many times I've deleted everything on here and started over, but I'm doing it again! Mayyyybe I'll actually keep on it this time, but who knows?! Anyway, mostly doing this post for layout editing purposes, so I know what posts look like...

Here's how it looks now:

Let's see what I can do with it...
