Wow, it's been a little over 2 years since I updated anything here.  I'm not dead, I'm a graduate student. I finished my undergrad, a BA in Digital Interactive Media, in May 2008 and then jumped right into my Masters in DIM in August 2008 and that's where I've been ever since.  I also bought a new car (well, financed one anyway, big mistake), moved into a majorly less insane apartment/roommate situation, and adopted a kitten (now a cat). I'll finish my Masters this December, and in the meantime I'm looking for jobs in the video game industry, or even just the new media field in general.  See, I went to the Florida Interactive Entertainment

My laptop died today. It's been a death in the making.  It started lagging over 3 months ago, not letting me run too many programs at once, having difficult shutdowns, etc. This morning, I woke up and it said "disc read error, C_A_D to restart" and after doing that, and trying to run the repair console with my XP disc, I was screwed. Luckily, Circuit City product replacement.  Unfortunately, 2 hours of phone calls to get them to replace it. Have 2 month old backups, thank god. But still, I'm laptopless for 2 weeks. Parents said they're buying me a new one.  Somehow, I'm still not happy.

I by no means consider myself an artist.  A deviant in some respects, yes, according to the dictionary definition.  But an artist, no.  I am more of a renaissance girl, I know bits and pieces of art-related mediums, and while my brain harbors immense stores of creativity, I lack the god-given talent to produce true "art" in my eyes. So why do I now have a DA account with stuff on it? I got bored at work.  And when I get bored, things happen. I'm also a comment-whore.  I love to hear opinions on my work, good or bad.  I've done my fair share of digital artwork, graphic design, culinary art, costume and prop creation, and other general "arts
