…damn you straight to Hell!
So…I got on Twitter today, which I think I will end up calling a mistake in the long run. Not only was it horribly addicting, I’m not sure I’ve been saying anything of substance, and while that’s nothing new, it’s even more time consuming than just rambling on to innocent passersby. Anyone else sometimes feel like the more technology we get, the more we end up just yelling into the void? Not attempting to get too profound, there have been some fun aspects.
I do enjoy the rapid connect to people I:
A. Haven’t seen in ages
B. Find hilarious
or most likely…
C. Am starstruck with and can now watch as they ramble on about their own lives.
It is fascinating to see expectations change after even a few hours of seeing that while everyone can instantly share their thoughts, most of them are not relevant to anything. For a great example, just look at me twitter. It’s fun to comment on others’ hilarious writings but I wrestle with how much of a tourist I might be. At the same time, I have a feeling everyone else is once again, doing the exact same thing. Let’s see how this develops.

…it’s my eyeballs.
Yes, another day of very little sleep. Spent far too much time last night tweaking the blog. It looks like it may become my main website, as I am quite tired of dealing with my Flash main website. If I can combine my portfolio pages into the blog site, I will be happy. I don’t need much, I am just finished with dealing with Flash and it’s annoying lack of analytic data tracking and obnoxious updatability. I’m enjoying playing with WordPress and as a friend has recently reminded me- focus on the stuff that makes you happy and try to strip out all the rest. No need to have some big fancy Flash website, when something simple and low-tech will do just as well if not better. What I need to find is a website designer willing to do some trade for artwork, as I am, like everyone else right now, not in the best spot to start dropping cash on a big expense. This big pretty new Imac is splurge enough for the moment, and hey- THAT was a business expense.
I realize I am rambling and am reminded again that I need to get off the computer for the day, as my eyes feel like someone has poured green chili enchilada sauce into my dry hollowed out sockets. Too much information? Too bad, that image is now burned on your brain. Ha!

…because it feels like it was just March a few minutes ago.
Spent today celaning the house and getting ready for the folks to come in town for the holiday. Cleaned, straightened, and spending some time reorganizing like I always do. My intentions always start out legitimate, but invariably in the process of organizing and reducing clutter, I end up obsessive compulsively reorganizing every box, bag, drawer and room to the point of utter ridiculousness. The studio still remains which will probably end up taking the rest of the night. Good times. Looking forward to the short week, can’t wait to have some actual time off relaxing for a change.
