been on a nature kick. shooting portraits. editing videos. hanging with family. excelling in school.

for the past 4 days i've gotten up before my alarm clock and have gotten less than my normal, 8/9 hour night. the first day i didn't like it so much but now i am loving it. the extra time in the morning is very nice. i feel more productive and have more energy. loving it.

battling sickness with strong antibiotics. winning. finishing up my short vid for nerd and the bikini laser tag crew. then on to edit a wonderful blackbird designs and ramblin' rose designs fashion short. all while learning about art in mesopotamia and ancient egypt. finding some amazing new music that i very much adore.

bff.

meal the bf made for me.

phew. finally picked up my laptop battery form my po box and now can continue on. lymph nodes are aching. i had a fever last night and i hope my body burned that sickness off because i am ready to make art today. doing a short fashion film with blackbird and co.

go bolts! very proud.

brewed some chocolate stout last week. it will be a while before it is ready. delicious. it smells like cereal in our house when we brew. the hops are incredible.

the nerdiest, scariest thing happen to me on saturday night. i had a caffeine overdose.

i was catching up with my friend late night over coffee. so excited, and talking a mile a minute, and forgetting i am sensitive to caffeine.

i got home and climbed in bed. stared into my cat's eye and felt my heart pumping harder than it ever had before.

eventually i fell asleep somewhere around 5 am.

the day after i decided i want to start treating my body better (i know -- overdosing on coffee is really hardcore).

i was raised really healthy by my mother and grandmother taking stuff from chlorophyll to silver to elderberry. there is a tried a true one. elderberry. go get some. the next time you start to feel sick, take some asap. you're cold will stop immediately.

have the next 2 weeks off of school and a very large to do list that has a lot of cleaning and art related projects.

took some pictures of the stars with my new camera. i love space.

think i might post one on my website for fun.

spring semester is coming to a close. even though school has consumed my life already, this will probably be the last easy semester I have. The rest will be really intense art history courses taken 3 or 4 at a time.

i received my new camera. i won't pretend to not be exited. [:

i am using it for video work including my new project on homelessness which will be complete by next tuesday.

here are some sample pics from it. it's a nikon d3100 and i usually keep my nikkor 50mm prime 1.4 on there while not shooting video. the vr on the lens it came with is hard to compete with until i build my steady cam in class on monday.
