Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Books & stories read this week: Lord of the Flies, Six Sherlock Holmes Stories, and Humorous Stories and Sketches (Mark Twain). I've been a reading fool. I've also read the first chapters of my graphics class. Photoshop is not the scary beast I thought it was! Lucky me. If I'm still relatively untired when I finish writing this bit of candy, I might actuallly knock out the next one as well. We'll see.

I'm working on a website for a school. Have I mentioned that? They're looking for something pretty basic, and I like them overall, so here's to charitable work to support things you like. I do need to meet with them soon, though.... if only to get the domain registration and the setting up of e-mail addresses out of the way. The rest requires little besides thier documents and a bit of summertime feedback while they prepare for next year. My goal is, of course, ot have the entire site up and running by the beginning of next school year. No sweat, methinks.

Sharon continues to send us good stuff. Thanks! She shall be paid. I'm always looking for good volunteers, but I rarely find them. People tend to be unreliable and flaky. Not that I can blame them overly much as they're working for free, but damn, people... if you lose interest, say so. I hate having to get mad at people for stupid things, when honesty would cure all ills. Tha's why I like paying in Gaia gold.... it gives people an incentive to actually try. Somewhat.

I'm gioing to the Blackbeard festival this weekend. Whether or not I wear a pirate outfit (in part) is up in the air. I might actually do it.... it might be fun! Then again, it might require effort, and effort I don't like to make where fashion is concerned.

I'm seeing the bebefit of having a set of glasses... or rather, I'm not seeing and I am enlightened as to why I need a pair. When I cannot sleep, glasses would be a wonderful thing to have as I don't feel much like making an effort to put my contacts back in tonight. Note to self (promptly forgotten, no doubt): Buy a set of el cheapos.

What is Spanish for "dance of the dead"? Inquiring minds want to know.

I tired my hand at art today, and I did not utterly suck. Granted, I wasn't much good, but I wasn't as horrible as I thought I would be. I managed to squeak out a picture that looks enough like me to be recognizable, at least. Spiffy, that.

What should I do as far as this journal is concerned? I noted that I was going to close it some time ago, but I never got around to it. It's actually somewhat amusing to write about things that no one cares about except me, to be completely honest. Of course, I do crave utter control over my writing, so I may still try to whole Moveable Type thing for my personal journal.
