Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you. Dr Seuss
Day nine brings us to one of my favorite quotes of all time, by one of my favorite people, in one of my favorite fonts, Calvin and Hobbes.
What did I do on day nine? I painted my creepy doll! Well, I started to. Apparently the old bird is gonna need a few base coats to cover up her flesh color. Booooo.
Terrifying, isn’t she? She is gonna need some work, though, for sure. I have a long way to go, but I have a plan for her… An even bigger plan than I originally planned!
You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own and you know what you know, and you are the one who’ll decide where to go. Dr Seuss
Day Ten was a lazy day, Phuktophiles. Work was grueling, people are down right mean, and I didn’t have an ounce of shits to give yesterday. I managed to take a look back at some of my own older work, which is always good for me. It reminds me of a happier time in my life. I also *think* I have figured out what is wrong with my video editing software that is causing my system to crash mid-vid. I really hope I figured it out because I want to try my hand. I’ve put together video slideshows before on different software, this software is kicking my butt, though. But if I figured it out and I manage to create a slideshow this weekend, I plan on using it to create a project this month. Keep your fingers crossed, Phuktophiles.
Now I want to say that since I am writing this post on September 11, I still remember (as I am sure everyone does) what they were doing when tragedy struck. I still get goosebumps when I see the images, I still get choked up. I am proud of my country, regardless of her flaws or, rather, the flaws of those who live here.
The images, though graphic and difficult to look at, remind me, too, of why I love image making and why it is such an important thing. Moments are not guaranteed, and are easily lost.
Hug your loved ones extra tight tonight, Phuktophiles, and remember to never forget.
