Beh.

So we're scrambling to help husband find a new place of employment, otherwise we have to move! It isn't that there aren't jobs in Cleveland, it is just that he has, you know, standards. It also doesn't help I was just rejected for a summer art teaching gig without even an interview, something that shocked not only me (because my oil painting class was going to be friggin' awesome!), but all my peers who teach in the arts themselves. They know me and my experience; it is actually very sweet that they are just as outraged about it as I am. So, I may try and go elsewhere with that. Laying out a 6 week curriculum gave me a little more confidence about it and now I actually want to teach again after almost 10 years.

After watching Simon Schama's program for the second time about Bernini and Caravaggio, I feel totally inadequate in every way, on top of just overall lazy.

I've officially lost 27 pounds since September of last year. About frickin' time! That's what I get for working in an office that had free food all the time and sitting on my butt all day. I promptly lost the last ten pounds after seeing photos of myself at my Asterisk Gallery opening -- gah! I somehow lost weight over Thanksgiving as well, which is kinda weird in itself since most people gain weight. Maybe I got a case of tape worm? Thank you tape worm, you rock!

Other than that my new favorite art related blog is Space Sick out of Toledo. He's funny, can draw real well, and he has that special love for all the 1980s cheese I grew up with.
