Welcome Back.

"You now have Six weeks left in the semester. Have a good time!" 

Shiiiit. As if I wasn't trying to pull my shit together long enough to launch the portfolio site, I need to catch up in uber-quantities after being sick. I'm still kinda sick, but not sick enough to get out of classes. 

I promised photos, right? Here are some photos. They're not the exact ones I promised, but it shows you I'm alive, ya?

The photo above is basically my portable art station:

(1): Mac Book Pro (15 inch)

(1): Champions Online Backpack full of tech gear (portable harddrives, USB memory sticks)

(1): Wacom Graphire4 Tablet (beaten to shit but still usable)

(1): Soon-To

-Be-Replaced Adobe CS3. As soon as I get the money for it...

It's funny, I used to carry a sketchbook all the time about a year ago, now lookit me....I'm almost 100% Digital and it's kinda scary.

Movin on...a few quick shots of my cat. He's a wonderful little thing, but getting on in yea

rs like you wouldn't believe. Yes, that is an eyetooth sticking out of his mouth. 

 

He wouldn't stand still...the rest of the shots came out blurry. 

More later, I promise.

Still Having Health Issues

At home for Spring Break, recuperating to say the very least. I can't shake the feeling that, while I have gotten rid of the cyst, something else is just around the corner...But that might just be me being paranoid.  I've been accused of that once (or twice) a week. 

Website is in the process of being built. I'm laying out the skeleton over break. 

Medical Issues

Sorry folks, not a lot going on here. I've been sick lately. At first it started with a small pain in my right side. After that pain grew to intense blinding pain over the weekend, I went into the emergency room at St. Francis. Apparently, I have a cyst on my right ovary that has made it swell to four times its original size. It's kinda interesting how distorted my body is on the lower right side now. I can clearly tell which side is messed up. Because I'm such a young pup, they don't want to operate on me (they could only discern that it was a cyst, not what it was caused by), so they shoved off a bottle of pills on me and smiled as I limped away. Unfortunately, the disease known as Endometriosis runs in my family, and cysts can be caused by that too. If that's the case....I think it's probably likely I could have the entire ovary removed. From what they told me (and I remember very little), the cyst has enveloped the ovary. I'll keep you all updated as it goes along.
