earth hour

earth hour is today!

march 29, 2008 at 8 pm to 9pm local time.

the goal is to shut off all your lights and non-essential electrical appliances for an hour this evening, in an attempt to promote energy conservation.

from WWF: " at 8pm local time on the 29 march millions of people in some of the world's major cities will use the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. "

i'm going to do it, and i've been telling everyone. i'm putting up a sign on my desk as receptionist at the biggest car dealership in sandusky.

every little bit counts, people! join in!

diary full of trash

yay! i managed to sign in on the first attempt!

i haven't been updating as much as i want to, but sometimes i have nothing great to say. even my own journal missed a complete month...not that it, or this, is anything fabulous.

my favorite holiday is halloween, for those of you who don't already know me well enough to know that by now. it came up in conversation today.

i have been working a piece of photoshop digital artwork for erin, and i was getting frustrated with my lack of knowledge and skills when it comes to digital painting. i decided to take a break and draw in a sketchbook. i practiced sketching jade puget's facial features to help with my digital work. here's what i came up with:

i'm much better with a pencil than a shotty tablet and vista. but i wanna learn! *cries*

yesterdy was my birthday, and it's wasn't a great one. i have much to be thankful for, and things could always be worse. i seem to have an above average amount of things that go wrong in my daily life, but sometimes i figure that i'm the one to get it, because i can handle it. maybe it's trying to teach me patience.

thursday, march 6, nicole took me out in royal oak to a vegan restauant and to a nofx show. oh, it was more than wonderful, and just a perfect night. we were front and close to center, first on the barrier. i got a guitar pick from el hefe.

i was already in the detroit area, at the palace [where the pistons play]. my little brother, chris, was wrestling in the state tournament, and he placed 8th. i'm so proud of him.

i'm listening to nine inch nails' new album set titled ghosts. it's strictly instrumental, and i love it, like all trent reznor's other work.
