Just a couple of quick sketches, done while I'm on holidays. When I'm not cleaning my art room, that is.

So, I gave in and saw Dark Knight last evening. I bravely resisted for a long time, as I am not a fan of Christian Bale, and I wasn't terribly intrigued by Heath Ledger, either. I will admit, I succumbed to peer pressure...and my curiousity got the better of me. The Dark Knight is too long, and there are far too many gaps that left me wondering what went on during that scene. There were no

Just a quick update...Derek is married. The wedding went well, the bride looked beautiful, the groom looked deliriously happy, and the food was fantastic! It was so much fun, and yes, I cried!Still working at Value Village, not so bad, I guess. I've been there a bit over a year. I've got a steady paycheque, health benefits, and respect at work. Plus, I have found lots of great stuff! Having the

I have now seen three of the "blockbuster" summer movies; Iron Man, Get Smart and Indiana Jones. All have disappointed; all have promised greater things than they delivered. Summer movies were once something that promised excitement and entertainment, if only for a brief, few hours. But where are the movies that caused the viewer to relive moments for weeks after, smiling and anticipating the

This is my son's wedding invitation. The character is the Chinese character for love. The text appears on the center panel, which I have not shown for reasons of privacy. I'm very happy with this design, and Derek says he's received many compliments regarding it.

I have accomplished what I thought was impossible; the 10K Redberry Run. I did it in an hour and a half. It was much more difficult than my practise runs. I misjudged the distance when I was doing the practise runs, so the actual run was longer than I thought. When I was returning, I had passed the weir, and developed a cramp in my left calf. I was forced to walk for awhile, and shorten the

As the Redberry run gets closer, I get more afraid! Why did I sign up to do this? (Probably because I am prone to doing impulsive things, with no real thought as to consequences; I guess I'll find out how crazy this is on Sunday, when I wake up with all sorts of aches and pains.

It is now only 13 days till the Redberry Run. I am very nervous! So many questions go through my head...What if I can't do the 10K? What if I can do the distance, but it takes me four hours? Will I need my asthma medication with me, and how will I carry it? Will sunscreen pour into my eyes, blinding me, which will then cause me to trip in a tiny pothole in the cement, and then I'll break an ankle

It's been a few months since my last entry. Got so consumed with my facebook profile, that I forgot my blog. How shameful. Nothing much is happening in my life, anyway. Same old job, same old boredom. The one thing that is giving me a great deal of pleasure now are my training runs. I am preparing for a 10k, for Redberry Bible camp, on May 10th. I look forward to the challenge, and some days, I

Just spent a weekend with my mom, daughter, and older sister. How interesting to see the differences in relationships between generations, and personalities. I've always thought of myself as an outsider, which has given me the opportunity to observe my familial ties with a rather disconnected view. I hardly take anything personally, as I am not sure that the various relationships are the most

I saw Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last night. I wrote it about on my facebook, but here are some further thoughts.I mentioned that I thought the voice of Lawrence Fishburne was totally misplaced for the Silver Surfer. Not only was the lip-synching a major flaw, but the voice just sounded odd. Doug Jones as the Silver Surfer was marvelous...lithe, sinewy, graceful. His movements were

I was chatting with a friend last night, who reminded me that I hadn't updated my blog in a very long time. I hadn't realized how long it had been! I've now graduated school, moved back home to Saskatoon, and got a job. I'm still looking for a design job, but that will happen. I promise myself that I will regularly update this blog, so people can see what's happening in my life.

I cannot stand much more of giles. I'm so close to being finished, and applied viscom is necessary, but he has become unbearable. Today, we were supposed to have mastheads for the school newspaper and a layout plan to show for critique. When we came back after lunch, Giles asked us to put our work on the board. He looked around the room, and then said, "what have you done all week? This is not

Interesting episode of Survivor. Thought at first that Aitu were making a huge mistake by throwing the challenge so early in the game (actually, never a good idea at any time in the game!). But then Billy opened his mouth and went on about his love, Candace, and how she was motivating him to continue playing. And I thought his biggest problem was his laziness! He's delusional, too. He didn't get

I shall endeavor to update this blog with comments on my favourite show, Survivor. I have been asked by several people what I think of the racial tribes this season. What do I think? I think Mark Burnett is a brilliant spin doctor and marketing genius. In one swoop, he has managed to answer all previous criticisms about race on Survivor, and create a ratings buzz that rivals Richard Hatch winning

Saw the new X-Men movie last night. I was excited and disappointed. I expected more, but I also knew that it is, after all, a summer movie blockbuster that has no pretensions to change your thinking or worldview. If you watch the movie with that realization, it is a fun, action-packed piece that lives up to the name "blockbuster". It is purely enjoyable, despite the few plot and character

Check out the new commercial for jenny craig, with kirstie alley. I am going to rant here a bit about it! It totally drives me crazy...when I first saw it, the bikini woman just seemed odd...I couldn't figure out why. So, I went to the site and watched it a few more times. Now I know what bugs me. Either the bikini woman is the stiffest, most awful actress I've ever seen, or they've done some

It's not safe to walk home anymore from school, I guess. Yesterday, I decided to take a different route home, because it was very slippery and I didn't think I could get up that steep hill on my usual route. At one street, as I was crossing (in the crosswalk), I looked to my right to make sure the van turning left saw me. I stopped for two seconds, and the bonehead making a right turn (on my left

Here are the top two entries in the poster competition at my school. I got third place. Not bad, but I don't get why the other two were considered better than mine. Not to diss anyone else's work, but there were some technical problems that happened, and I didn't think they were that original. But hey, I got third. So I get some recognition, and a prize. Definitely going in my portfolio.

Each year, MHC offers a competition to 2nd year students. It's also an assignment that gives us the opportunity to develop a professional poster, and learn the ins and outs of production. I based mine on Russian Constructivism, with a graffiti cartoon character to make it contemporary. Had fun doing this....I sketched the character and the brush, then placed in Illustrator for colour and type.

January 23 is an important day. It is the day all of Canada votes for a government, and the day I celebrate another birthday. I'll be alone on that day, but I plan to buy myself some cheesecake and rent a movie to celebrate my day.

Went to see Harry Potter with a bunch of Viscom friends last night. Gotta say, didn't really like it much. My friends praised the movies and the book, but I just thought it was creepy, boring, and no one warned me about that spider thingy!

Sometimes I think my life is a sitcom. It's too bizarre to be believed. A (mumble mumble)....year old woman going to school, and still feeling like an outcast.

My friend and pastor, Dwayne Harms, died yesterday morning, after a brief and painful struggle with renal cancer. I've cried a lot, with Brian, and my kids, and there will be more tears shed over the next few days. I miss Dwayne a great deal...he and I shared the same sense of humour, and he encouraged me to continue in drama, something I've always loved.Now I need to begin training, to follow

Just read an article about how Hollywood movies are declining...revenues are down 16 per cent from last year. Has it occurred to these bigtime Hollywood producers (hello, George and Steven, I'm talking to you!)that if they bothered to ask the movie-goers, they'd find out why? How about too-high ticket prices, bad movies, and crowded multiplexes? Most people I know would rather wait a few months

There are some days when God really shakes my faith to the core, and I have to dig into the Bible and reassure myself that His word is still faithful. Today, I heard the news that our pastor, Dwayne, a very good friend, may have renal cancer, which is untreatable (at least by chemotherapy, as I understand it). I don't know that much about renal cancer, but I do know Dwayne...and I found myself

Why is it that the most senior of our citizens tend to act stubbornly and rudely, and refuse to understand the rest of the world? I'm afraid of becoming old, because of some of the plus65 people I've met. I encounter these people in the gallery all the time, and they get furious with me and refuse to listen, because they don't understand the exhibits. Today, I was walking through the gallery and

angrymonkey has done something that has never been done before, not by angrymonkey! (okay, enuff talking about myself in the third person...very irritating!)I received my certificate from Medicine Hat College, officially welcoming me onto the College Honour Roll. I never dreamed, when I was in grade school and high school, that I could ever accomplish that. I always felt dumb, and my constant

What a lovely day at work. I tripped into the gallery, happy and feeling efficient. I noticed a group of high-schoolers with one of the other tour guides, and thought it was odd that they seemed to looking at me and giggling, when they should have been paying attention to the tour guide. I bent down to retrieve a basket of pencils, and heard a loud ripping sound...and suddenly realized that the

My favourites, Uchenna and Joyce, won the Amazing Race. Boo to Rob and Amber...I'm glad they came in second. Uchenna and Joyce deserved to win, and I really like them! Too bad my favourite on Survivor (Stephanie) got booted off. Now I'm not sure who to cheer for (but definitely not Katie or Jenn!)

Got my final marks for first year. Got on the honour roll...something I've never done before! 3 A's, 2 A+'s, and one B+, for second semester. My english final exam was 99/100! I'm happy with those results.My sisters, mom, husband, dad, and my kids are really proud of me. And that is really important to me, to have my family all supporting me.

Okay, not quite. Another three years to go...but I made it through my first year, and I think I did quite well. All A's, except for Design, which is a B+. Not happy about that. I stand a good chance of getting some scholarships for being honour roll...gee, I always wondered what that felt like, being on the honour roll. Never even got close before. Now the studying begins.

Soon, it will be midterms. I'm very nervous about Art History. Having to memorize 75 images, with dates, periods, artists, and mediums is proving quite difficult! Dean says that if you were to go to university, to study art, you'd have 200 images to learn, and if you're serious about going into a career in art history, then this is necessary. See, that's the thing, Dean...I don't plan on being an

Today is my birthday. Not bad, as far as birthdays go. I enjoyed a good message this morning at a church near my apartment, came home and received a phone call from my mom, and my sister Jo, which was very nice. I'm heading out the door to a friend's from school, who is having a dinner party with a bunch of friends, and a birthday cake for me. I wish I could be home with Brian and Derek and

The most wonderful birthday gift ever has been given to me. Brian asked Jesus to be his personal Savior last night. What I've been praying for, for so many years, has finally come true. Now, when I worship, I can worship together with my husband. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. And I am going to have a terrific birthday on Sunday!

I got a lot done this weekend. Including writing out my new year's resolutions, and checking my blog, and trying to resolve some problems there. Tomorrow is Critical Theory, Art History and English. All classes I love. I should get my Critical Theory essay on Clement Greenburg and Modernists in class, and I'm eager to see my mark! Art History is going to be a huge note-taking process. But lucky

I've been thinking about my new year's resolutions. One of them will be changes to my blog. I'd like to add a weekly feature, a cartoon strip I'll call "Distracto-Girl", and a new caricature. I'm going to change the template as well. I'd like to feature more of my work, some reviews of other caricature artists, and updates on Survivor. Coz everyone knows how much I love Survivor!

Did well on my first semester. All A's, except for Typography, which is a B. I can live with that. Don't really like it, anyway. I'm looking forward to new classes in January. I take Drawing, Design, English, Art History again, but with different instructors this time. And I'm also taking a third year class, Critical Theory, which I'm really looking forward to. I am also looking forward to those

Yes, I have to shout! I've got two minutes before Survivor. My midterm mark for typography is A- ! I received an A on my English essay. Dr. Johnson commented that I went above and beyond what was expected, and my ideas were sound. I'll get midterm marks for Design tomorrow...that will bring my average down, I'm sure.

I've been away from my computer for too long. Went home for Thanksgiving and thoroughly enjoyed it. But then I had to come back to school and start projects again. Midterms are coming up, so I'm going to be busy studying. I will try to post more often, though. Survivor update! It's Friday, and you need to know my thoughts on Survivor.

Hello all. So I've experienced my first two weeks of classes, and I'm getting a real sense of what to expect, and what my instructors are like. I love the drawing class. We're working in charcoal, and doing exercises in linear perspective, tone and value. Just being able to draw for six hours a day is wonderful! I love typography (that's developing fonts and letterforms) and I've been told by my

Hello! I'm finally back. Took a while, but my first week of school was pretty busy. If you're a student, you know that already. Waiting in line for an hour for textbooks is horrendous. All is well with student loans now, I should be getting the documents soon. I finished writing my first english assignment; I'm very nervous about how my professor will receive it. I will post the writing later.

I hate Student Loans. They are totally screwing me over...and there's nothing I can do. I need to pay my tuition by September 3rd, and I don't even know if I'm getting any funds. I have no idea if I can pay for school. I don't even know if I can leave for Medicine Hat on Monday. What's going to happen if I get there, then I receive notice from Student Loans that I won't get any funds? Then I end

Sometimes I hate being me. It's so frustrating not being able to figure things out easily, or miss things that I should know, or realize that Nobody is Listening to Me! My care group from LH hosted a send-off party for me on Sunday evening. I was rather pleased, because it was nice to be acknowledged and appreciated. I never got that at West Portal. Part of the reason I love LH is the people

Of course, they don't tell you that. You have to somehow psychically know that there is a problem, and call them. And their reason? "not enough manpower." Okay, sure, that's true
