House painting and my recent move

Mon Nov 30, 2009, 5:42 AM
Wow have I been crazy busy the last few months. Around mid-September my fiance Chris got promoted and they gave us about two weeks to pack up our entire house and move out to Illinois. We wound up in North Chicago because due to our time constraints our current place was the only thing we could find that was in our price range without being a total rip off, within the general vicinity of where he now works. So I packed the house and moved out here from California. I spent the majority of October dealing with various unpacking type things and my sleep schedule got all messed up as it tends to do. Now I've spent the majority of November painting the interior of our house at the behest of the owner who has promised to knock off a month of rent in exchange. It's a huge undertaking and they should have given me the paint a lot sooner than they did and maybe then I could have done this at a more relaxed pace. Instead I get to be really stressed out right now. Story of my life. I have maybe two days left to get the painting done in time for it to have this month's rent off, which we really need for various stressful reasons. I better not get screwed on this. There is still way more painting left than I'd like at this point, but I'm hopeful to take a huge chunk off of that today, and a huge chunk tomorrow and hopeful do a few finishing things the next day.
Hopefully then I can get back to more art related endeavors. As time passes I feel a greater need for a pen and tablet, but who knows when I'll be able to get that, besides I need a new scanner first. During the packing to move out here I had to declare my scanner dead, which just blows. It had an 11" by 17" scanning bed and scanners that large are harder to find than when I got it. I miss working on my art regularly and I feel this pressing urge to be more productive with it. I'll be stressed until I get a new scanner as not having one severely limits my art, no scanning in new sketchbook entries for my pencil sketchbook on comicspace, no scanning in layouts and preliminary work to finish digitally, and starting from scratch on the computer with a damnable mouse is a little brutal for my tastes. As soon as the house painting is finished I'll be able to have a big, fat sigh of relief and enjoyably place more focus on a commissioned piece I'm working on. I have about a zillion projects I want to dive into but that has to wait a few days, so for now I'll just be pouting as I lay down masking tape.

Do not fear, we can be dorks together ^_^ I am also glad to have family here too. It is quite nice really.

I am also glad that I now know that I am not the only artist in the family. It was kinda lonely for awhile. I thought I was the only one who could write, sing, draw....I really need to get to know you guys better. Its a whole realm of my life that seems like a mystery.

Around Christmas I might go to Tucson to go see my mother, but I would also like to drive to phoenix to see everyone else, epically Grandma Porter.

Highlander was a documentary, and it was filmed in real-time.

I try to keep the darkness away, but sometimes I lack the strength and it enslaves me.
