case of the mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, thursdays...

little onion productions has hit an enormous snag -- kitty is willing to do his part (i.e. sleeping all day and begging for cans of tuna), but little onion of little onion can't seem to get things into gear.  instead, boss lady sits around thinking about how things haven't been going her way for the past month and while it has seemed like an eternity since graduation and family/friends all packed their bags and said "adios", it has only been one month and the world just might not end for a little longer.

a new tickle found her way into the world tho...  meet Mim who can be found and purchased here along with Iko and Quack!

two months later

i graduated.  finally.

thesis is over and hopefully i'll have a job soon.

there was no time to post while thesis was coming to a close.  there wasn't much time for anything.  final thesis presentations were on May 12 and 13.  I went on the 13th around 4pm.  i slept the next day.  the day after that (the 15th) i moved into

 my new apartment with allison.  she moved a lot of her stuff in that day and the rest was moved in the following sunday.  my dad arrived in philly on the 20th.  my mom arrived in philly on the 21st.  graduation was on the 22nd at 4pm.  i was nominated for 2 awards, didn't get either one because i didn't build a building, but graduated cum laude (a surprise to me).  i did have the best outfit tho...

allison left for india the next day.  she won't be back until mid july.  we miss her.  i got sick the day of graduation.  i cried so much that week over several things and lost my voice for a little more than a week. 

life is slow in the apartment with windows and so many hours existing in the days now.  i go on interviews, send out resumes, talk to friends and family, i got a cat, houseplants, and some curtains.  things aren't too bad.

his name is apollo.  he's my new assistant for little onion productions.  this is a kibble paying intern position.

coffee and pin cushions

busy bee, working towards the culmination of my undergraduate education...

what you see is convoluted foam mattress covers cut up, pinned together, forming this urbaNomad pack that i've been working on... for a year.

a glimpse for a portolio

from the last post, the things i was supposed to do [bold means completed]: "finish portfolio. update resume. upload resume to monster. write cover letters. buy printer. print resume + letters. send resume + letters. print portfolio. bind portfolio. visit a friend for a day. go to new york with allison for a day. work a day for boss. cast my back in plaster in 4 positions. do laundry. clean apartment. send packages. design thesis. fix thesis colors. update thesis paper. send thesis paper to professor."

the casting is going to happen today and tomorrow, and the sending of the resume things... well i just don't know what to do about that, considering that I haven't written the cover letters. errrrrr. well, it should happen sometime this week.

got out of town for a little over a day during this week... it was nice to see trees, blue skies, sun, and play with furry things, running around in this thing called a yard. i'm back now, however, and even if i miss grass and yards and the glimpse of how life could be when i'm out of school, i do have a portfolio to show for it.


AND i now have an online portfolio. http://littleonion.carbonmade.com/

a very happy un-spring break / spring un-break to you

i've been on spring a total of 3 days so far... saturday, sunday, and monday. saturday i was at studio for 9 hours, monday for 9.5 hours, and monday for 6 hours. however, if you count the amount of time i was actually working on things, you can add roughly 2 hours to saturday and sunday and 4.5 hours to monday/tuesday. sigh. i don't call this a break.

and what have i been doing all this time might you wonder? portfolio. apparently i'll be needing that to land myself a decent paying job so that i can begin paying off those pesky school loans that i was so excited to get.

plans for the rest of this week? finish portfolio. update resume. upload resume to monster. write cover letters. buy printer. print resume + letters. send resume + letters. print portfolio. bind portfolio. visit a friend for a day. go to new york with allison for a day. work a day for boss. cast my back in plaster in 4 positions. do laundry. clean apartment. send packages. design thesis. fix thesis colors. update thesis paper. send thesis paper to professor.

is that all? maybe.

in the meantime... the latest tickle who may or may not be done. either way, he already found his way into my portfolio. maybe he'll get a make-over at a later date.

little piggies sleeping the day away

it really is just one of those days. one where you can't manage to stay out of bed long enough to get your feet to take you out the door and where ever you need to be. except that if you don't need to be anywhere at all, this task is even more difficult.

and so my day began, out of bed at 9, in the shower by 9:15 and back in bed watching Superbad on my laptop by 11, eating the remains of a steak borrito left over from last night. then, having nothing better to do, i fell asleep around 1 or 2pm and woke up at 6:15.

the laziness of today is solid proof that a jury must have occurred this week, and it did. yesterday. good show, i should say. alas, my advisors don't know what date it is, how many weeks we have left, or where we are going with anything. i think perhaps they are more lost than we are, but it is to be expected. spring break next week and i should be [1] making my portfolio [2] writing cover letters + resume [3] rewriting my thesis document (again) [4] casting my body in 4 positons [5] doing some work for an old professor [6] probably a whole mess of other things.

but for now.... enjoy the show.

a porcupine emerges

before i begin the next stage in a project, i often feel the need to clean, reorganize, rearrange things. this might mean my studio, my life, or my apartment. this time, my apartment got tackled.

and then i cast my back in plaster...

and then i went out of my mind...

i am wearing this lovely fashion statement to my midjury tomorrow, partially the reason why this isn't a real post and simply an image heavy randition of my life for the past week.

this thursday i find out the results of the stewardson competition... and then a night of many many drinks, regardless of the results.

spring break next week. yeah, already. spring freaking break.
