Day 90/365: Eight.

Today's picture is unfinished, but I have a good reason for that.

I started a doodle on a piece of typing paper and it just so happened that there was an eight pointed star in it. Well. One of the points is cut off, but whatever.

Which is good because I literally had no idea what I was going to come up with for today's picture.

As for it being unfinished, allow me to explain that. Yesterday, when I went to use the other computer, I got rather rudely yelled at by my dad, so tonight I wished to avoid that scenario and just decided to scan and submit this unfinished.

Also, I'm starting a newspaper route tomorrow, and that requires that I get up at 4:30 in the morning. In which case I plan on being in bed by 9:30 at the latest, and I know it would take me several hours to finish that picture. I don't want to waste my last few waking hours left today working on a damn picture. I have dishes to wash and stuff.

Tomorrow's theme is "empty", and if I want to be a pretentious, artsy fartsy douchebag, I would submit a blank entry tomorrow, but I'm not so... I'll have to figure out something for tomorrow. XD

Day 89/365: Eating establishments.

I'm going to try really hard to get this entry to submit properly, but Firefox seems to have issues wanting to actually show the pictures I try to post. I might be reduced to using Internet Explorer.

The best bar ever, in Ames. It was called Sgt Peppers, but I don't know if it's still there.

Day 88/365: Earth.

Today, you are actually getting new pictures. I took them like, ten days ago, but I haven't posted them anywhere before today so... for all intents and purposes, they are new.
(Seriously, this is the last day I submit these entries in Firefox. It's a pain in the ass.)

But yeah. Tomorrow's theme is "eating establishments", and I really don't know what the hell I'm going to post for that.

Day 87/365: earrings.

Today, you are only getting a few pre taken pictures. I'm sorry about that, but I've had a really shitty day. Well. Parts of it were good, but I felt shitty. That was partly due to my allergies and partly due to a small melodramatic breakdown I had today.

Anyway, to make up for using old pictures, I am including a few unrelated ones. However, firefox is being a stupid ass, so I'm linking to them all because for some reason my picture posting isn't working.

And now the unrelated ones.

I'm sorry. I just feel too shitty and tired right now to give a crap about fucking around with the picture post.
Tomorrow's theme is "earth", and I should be able to crank out something new for that.

Day 86/365: Dreams.

I had most of today's piece finished yesterday, thankfully. Today wasn't a real artsy fartsy day. Actually I spent a majority of today feeling like I couldn't quite wake up. I imagine part of that is due to my allergies, which have been particularly bothersome today.

I can't imagine that most of you give a crap, but I start my newspaper delivery route on Monday. There's no turning back now. I've signed papers, talked with the newspaper guy, and I've already been given a big bag of rubber bands, and some little plastic bags for when it's rainy out.

I'm still nervous. For one thing, the papers have to be delivered by 6:30. So this might mean that I actually have to get up at 4:30 instead of 5am. That would only allow an hour and a half for putting a rubber band around each paper, loading them up, biking out to the area my route is in, AND delivering all the papers. It doesn't really allow for any houses that it's hard to find.
Buuut. I'm finishing that little rant on my food journal, so no need to rehash it here.

I got this idea while browsing for photoshop tutorials. I don't actually have photoshop, but I figure I can apply the concepts to other image editing software. I had considered making the entire word "dreams" in this style, but that took long enough as it is, and I just wasn't in the mood to have to piece together five more huge letters full of words.

That's pretty much it. I'm grumpy and tired so I'm not going to bother telling you what tomorrow's theme is. I'm not in the fucking mood.

(Okay. I am being forced to use Firefox  because my google chrome is giving me problems. Is it normal that I have to press shift when I hit the enter key? Because if I don't, the cursor just jumps halfway up my page and lands in a random bit of text. It's irritating).

Day 85/365: doubt.

Today, in a strange movement of being well prepared, I actually finished a good chunk of tomorrow's art, as well as took a couple pictures for today's.

Don't get used to that sort of forward thinking. It won't be too long before I'm getting up at 5am to deliver newspapers so... I imagine that will be weird. I'm kind of hoping I can get a couple hours of sleep when I get back home from delivering, but I'm not good at sleeping when it's light out, so we'll see how that works.

Anyway.

Yep. I pretty must just wrote on a leaf with a ball point pen and took a picture of it.

I'm not sure why I liked this coloring. Usually I'm not for such harsh contrast in a colored photo. I usually reserve high contrast in black and white pictures.

I decided to save you all from posting any extra old photos. Besides. I might need to use those later on a day that I'm not feeling so artsy.

Tomorrow's theme is "dreams", and marks the last "d" word on my art list.

Day 84/365: doors.

Today I fudged the rules and made today's picture include the word "door".

It's just a flimsy little "s", I figure you won't miss it.

I don't know if I like it. I don't have much experience with, nor am I very good at graphic design-y things. This is basically my first experiment of this nature, so be nice to me. 

I actually don't know if I like it much. I think I need to move the last three words over. I may try doing that when I actually give a shit, but considering that I'm exhausted and my allergies are thoroughly kicking my ass, I'm going to leave it be.

And now, a couple of unrelated pictures I forgot about that I ran across while searching for pictures to use for today's piece.

But yeah. That's today's entry. Tomorrow's theme is "doubt".
