Long story short I am deleting my typepad, moving everything over here, and attempting to figure out how to make thebiggerbangtheory.com work.

Hooray?

I have given up on the photo a day thing. I know, I know. But it became a chore, and I wasn’t pushing myself to take photos that were creative every day, and I sort of got overwhelmed of having one more thing in my life that I “should” be doing. So I stopped.

The first slip happened when I accidentally napped all night, starting at 7. When I woke up the next morning I realized that not only had I slept through the entire night, I had also forgotten to take a photo before falling asleep.

After that I just realized I was taking pictures of the same tree down the street and I don’t know, it just seemed silly.

I also attempted to take a picture one day using my cell phone because it seemed more convenient. But then I realized the quality was the equivalent of poo smeared on paper and well. Well.

Excuses, I know.

Ultimately though I feel like a bit of a weight has been lifted, and I feel free to document the things I actually want to, rather than being forced into it. Like this moment.

This is Tremaine eating an ice cream cone. Innocent enough? However, you should probably know that the flavours were: Blue Cheese, Wasabi, and Curry. The server looked at him like he was nuts. There was a pair of guys who watched him order it who I think were both impressed and horrified.  Good times, good times.

My issue with that place, though, is while I think it is awesome that they have 219 flavours or whatever, the quality of the ice cream is pretty bleh. It is not creamy enough. Kinda watery? The novelty is not enough to keep me going back.

This afternoon we went up to Deep Cove to go see the Capilano Textile Arts grad show at the Seymour Art Gallery. I guess I should mention that I may be applying. I went to an information session last week, and am going to an interview on Wednesday.

I have mixed feelings on the whole thing, because they teach basically all the things I want to learn, but… I do not feel very comfortable thinking of myself as an artist. That, and I am not sure this is a very practical thing for me to be doing.

But life is a thing that only happens once, and money is a thing that will come and go. Opportunities are harder to come by.

The interesting thing about the show was there was one piece I have basically already made, and it kind of cracked me up. It was a necklace made from handspun yarn. They had overspun it so it was all coiled and crazy, but it reminded me of the big purple crochet thing I made, which I am planning to bring as part of my portfolio on Wednesday.

So maybe I can do this?
