I don’t normally do this, but…

from PHD Comics.

Imagine what it’ll be like when I’m actually in a PhD program.

Winter break: Procrastination Station

Really positive procrastination, I think. I’ve watched an incredible amount of A Bit of Fry & Laurie, cleaned a bit, patched a lot of clothes, and not done anything related to anything I actually have to do. It’s okay, I work better under pressure anyway.

Teaching myself to cross stitch. My goal is to eventually do a Tom of Finland cross stitch. Can anyone recommend a good book of patterns or anything like that?

Second sampler, for a friend (not finished).

Embroidering Femme a Barbe Insurgency patches. Would folks want these?

Also, still working on learning to do lino-cuts. Got some good advice from a friend on heating the linoleum up before cutting. Oh the life of a philistine trying to be an artiste.

Wednesday craft day.

Cut up pages from a children’s book and rubber stamped letters on bristol board.

I got a letter from Naomi of Tuff Town today! It was on the back of a map which was cool. Also they pretty much have convinced me to actually print Sassyfrass 6.

Practicing lining up letters with rubber stamps.

Cutting scales for a project I’m working on.

Also, I got the new issue of Culture Slut in the mail and this awesome pin! I’m such a good model, ha!

I’ve also been making garland-y things

Some of them are skulls. Also I was dying stained shirts different colors and my glove ripped, if you were wondering why my hand is blue.

That kid will stop at nothing to keep procrastinating! I am a very productive procrastinator. Off to fold laundry.

Movies I have watched this week: Wild Side, Sick, XXY, Beautiful Losers, Without You I’m Nothing. I started watching Annie Hall but I fell asleep (I’ve seen it a lot of times before) and I started watching Janeane Garafalo’s stand up in Seattle but it turns out despite being my favorite actress of the 90s, she isn’t very funny. I will just continue to imagine her in Reality Bites.

Here are my favorite shoes that I finally gave up on and threw away:

If anyone wants to get me a new pair of brown shoes I wear a size 8 mens and my birthday is on December 17th.

Applications shmaplications,
