Gone Crazy Be Back Soon

Ok. I'm trying to coordinate a bunch of people to come in for portraits because I have to have like a zillion assignments done by mid term (which is TWO weeks) and I have squat to show for it. My tear sheet of the fruit and veggies is almost IMPOSSIBLE to reproduce without tons of Photoshop, which I know, just not well enough to pull off a professional AD. Anyhow, my partner will help (hopefully). Have to have replicated 5 tear sheets out of magazines (going from easiest to hardest and I don't think I've got ONE EASY ONE. I need to find more. Need to find a good lighting shot of product or people, but I can't seem to find any decent magazines for that. I guess I'm looking too hard. SOme guy did a Ritz cracker ad. Boring ass lighting but the prof said it was ok GRRRRRRR.)

I had so many blogs in my blog favorites that I was going nuts. CLeaned em out! Some I only read once. GUess that goes along with the cleaning out of all the shit I own. I wonder.......will the garbage man take fishtanks in the trash?? Damn shit is heavy to haul around (guess it wouldn't be so if I was in fucking shape eh?). I may have a buyer for one we'll see.


Why is it so damn hard to let go of shit? Anthony, over at his sick mind had posted about cleaning up, then finding stuff you forgot about, knowing you should get rid of it but then it goes into another "pile" that may or may not get thrown out later. I paraphrase but you can go on over and read it. He's quite humorous. Anyhow, there I am "finding" stuff that I forgot I had. Well obviously I didn't need it because I hadn't remembered I had it. So why don't I just toss it? Well because for some reason there's that invisible string that is sticking to me somewhere (maybe that's what the feeling I am having lately is, that string, makes me feel a lot better than thinking bugs are crawlin on me, cause that's what it feels like too. I think I'm in a paranoid stage after I found a spider {GINORMOUS} and a baby roach in my bed, not at the same time).
ANYWHO where was I. Ok finding stuff and not getting rid of it. Well I had thrown stuff out a while back, and guess the fuck what? I NEEDED some of it for a PHoto class I was taking. No shit. I held onto this shit forever (some kind of drawing paper, etc.) that I never used, just sitting in a corner collecting dust so I toss it. That and a half a year's subscription to American Photo. I read them so FINALLY I tossed them. Needed things out of there too! Had to peruse magazines for a graphic design class. Luckily I still have several years' worth of other photo mags, which are barely helpful now, but I'm looking through them for this tear sheet shit. Problem is, if they are product shots, the products aren't made anymore.

So, I have aSHITload of kitchen stuff. From five million plastic spoons and utensils of all sorts to coffee cups out the wazoo. I also have thesee bamboo skewers that I have oh maybe used THREE out of the hundred or so in there. I don't have a grill so I don't have a need to make shishkethingies. BUt I refrained from tossing them last year. They do come in handy when you need to get something tiny and sharp to go into something to get something out. Which is what I used one for. I actually made two shishkesomethings one day on my George Foremen exceptionally tiny grill (but I love it!) Thank goodness I didn't throw the skewers out! I actually need them to help me place my photos into a professional looking portfolio this term! How? Well to help line up the photos when I am placing them together, doublesided, so they line up exactly to each other so I need those to help with alignment. Go figure! It's nice when I can finally use something and I'm glad I didn't throw it out!

I hope I can make it through to the end of the year financially. I know total turnaround of subject. I'm just starting to worry a little......

I had more, but I can't remember. CRS kicking in.

But that's enough I'm sure

*yawn*
