I IZ ARTIST

So, I'm sure that rarely anybody knew this but I have a job as an animator. Most of my time right now is spent in school but I also spend some time sketching and drawing and things. It's not a very high-paying , high-hours, serious job, but it's a job. At my job, I do more of a collective arts thing. I do video, animation, editing, photography, acting, dance, music (piano, percussion, french horn, etc.), and really anything. The things I do at my job are a lot like what I do at school. Anyways, my point is that I'm an artist and I was going to post some things on this blog that I've done but I haven't one that yet. I have full intention of doing that and making this more of an artsy blog as well. Right now, I don't have any of my work up on the computer but this is another one of the things that I promise to post sometime.

The Mongol-chondria

So, separate from the work I'm doing at my job, I'm also working on another project for school. We have teams doing video, cartooning, costuming, scripting, music, acting, and research. For the project, we're taking an organelle and we're creating a political campaign for it to prove why it is the more needed of the organelles. We got the mitochondria (which we are comparing to a Mongol.) I'll show you some sketches I drew up later. It's coming along pretty awesomely and it's going to be really cool!!!! I can't wait for it to finally all come together. I'll keep you all posted on it as it evolves but right now there really isn't anything much besides some sketches I did.

Interns

So right now I'm working on this huge project with a bunch of "interns." (Interns in this case just applies to people who are under me and have no idea what they are doing. Granted, I'm not high up in my workplace but I'm higher than them and they're super annoying.) It has to be in by Tuesday and all of the people working on it are idiots except for one of my friends, who is the only one (besides me) who isn't an "intern." Anyways, we were given an assignment which I can't really ell you much about but it's one of those things where you have to be absolutely creative in order for you to actually really achieve anything with it. My friend is the head of the whole thing and I'm the head of the animating/ creativeness force for this. I'm in charge of about three people and the entire group is about six people big. There's a lot of stuff to get done and we haven't even really started it. We've been planning and researching and drawing but we haven't started writing and recording yet really. Also, the intern in charge of the contacts LOST THE CONTACTS!!!! We're all on this big break right now but we have to keep working through it in order to get things done. The person in charge of them *ahem* (you know who you are) didn't contact anyone and I finally had to track her down through her sister and then had to help her gather all of the contacts back together again. I personally emailed everyone but NOBODY HAS EMAILED ME BACK YET!!!! It's all really unprofessional of them and there's going to be a big consequence if we can't all pull together and do this. I'm starting to leak my efforts into other departments but I'm afraid it isn't really working. I'm just hoping it all works out. I HATE INTERNS!!!!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

My sport season is over!!!! I'll have a lot more time to do more things!!! Recently, I've been very stressed out and anxious because I haven't had time for anything and I'm being overworked but now that my sport is out, I'll have a lot more time for a lot nicer things.

So yeah. I still have a ton of work to do but that's some weight lifted off of my shoulders. I would quit but I really love the people in the program and since they don't have time for anything outside of practice and stuff, I' never get to see them so it's a bit of a bitter sweet moment because they're all going on to do more seasons and I'm just... working.... so it's a little sad but I'll survive!!!

I actually really don't know what to do with my life now. Is this what it's like in the normal person's life? It must be so boring not being me. So simple.

Editing the Blog

So I've been trying to edit the blog and do things to make it look really cool like adding pictures and custom colors and stuff but I keep messing it up! If I change one thing, I have to change other things because I've changed a color scheme or forma or something and it turns into all of these different little details that I have to change so basically I'm customizing a whole new blog and it is TERRIBLE. Not to mention that my laptop is also about seven years old so it's super slow and doesn't have a lot of drive open. Therefore, if I want to edit a picture, I have to completely wipe my drive to save one picture and then again if I want to save anotherpicture. It's not very helpful if I need to do something. It takes me about 4 hours to edit a picture.

For instance, this picture took me about 5 hours to edit. Seems simple, just a crop, some writing, and a few filters, but it took me so long I was about to throw my computer across the room. It's not from my lack of understanding of the program. I'm perfectly competent with that, it's just that the software kept quitting on me and it took another half hour to start it back up again so not only was it difficult to get the picture into the software, the software wouldn't stay open long enough for me to edit anything and save it. So this lovely picture right here took me all day yesterday to make and put back into the blog.

Well, I was starting to edit things (add the custom back ground that's up right now) and realized that the new color scheme didn't fit the picture so I was going to take it down and replace it with a Doctor Who picture but I couldn't save the DW picture to my computer! But at that point in time, the picture was already taken down and I couldn't put it back up because my computer's throwing a tantrum and I din't have it still save to my drive. So for the past 2 hours, I've been trying to at least make things decent and put it back up which obviously isn't working. So I've given up. Oh well. I'll edit it tomorrow. I've had a gigantic amount of patience with the editing of this blog and it wasn't completely terrible (I like editing) but I'm tired, it's late, I have stuff to do tomorrow (like, proper work) and I'll just have to put it off for another time. The blog looks decent enough. Oh well. I'll do it some other time. I'll have to borrow another computer.

Anyways, you can see that it's terribly annoying. I like the new background but I don't know. I might keep it. So give me your thoughts on it!!! I might keep it or I'll convert it to something else.
