whose city is this?

while not saving up to pay off my osap loans, while still living at home in North York. 

But what can I do? It’s still cheaper than moving out on my own, and I do admit I sometimes take things for granted. If I’m not doing dishes (very often) or cleaning the house, while taking up space, eating food, using internet, etc… it’s not too much to ask for. Is it? I’m sort of wrestling with the fact that I’m using osap to help my mum out, when a part of me feels I should have the right to live at home, free of charge or worry. 

My book came in today. 

I’m more or less pleased with it. Ideally I would have had more time to solidify my concept and finesse a few things, but I had to send it in to print. I’ll post a link sometime within the next few weeks.

I have to produce a list of web resources for a class project. The final goal, as a class, is to produce a wide-ranging annotated web resource manual for working photo based artists.

I have to come up with 24-36 websites before Friday. This probably wouldn’t be an issue if I had started in September, but typical Mitchell left it til the last minute, along with a bunch of other things. 

So here’s where you all sweep in from cyber-heaven and help poor little ole me out.

I need websites! ANYTHING that’s either photography/art concerned, or that could possibly be of help to any working photo-based artists looking for solid helpful resources.

They can be anything, including artist’s personal websites, publications/periodicals, technical resources (like tutorials, guides, or online classes), gallery or artist-run centre websites, discussion/opinion forums, historical/critical sources and info, socially concerned/activist websites, funding/grant agencies.

I’ve spent the evening searching through my bookmarks, notes, and even my tumblr archives, and I haven’t found nearly enough. Anything would help!

Have to complete by Friday:

- Four final product shots (Studio Lighting)
- Two gallery/show responses, two pages each (Concepts and Theories)
- Annotated Web Resources assignment (Concepts and Theories)
- Personal Logo assignment (Tools and Apps)
- Two page commercial spread (Tools and Apps)
- Expressive text assignment (Tools and Apps) 

Must complete shortly after Friday:

- Finalize book, get any artist’s statements together (for final critique)
- Make prints for Human Subject Project, roughly 15 images (for final critique)
- Artist’s statement for Human Subject project (for final critique) 

letsgetgeeky replied to your audio post: David Bowie - Space Oddity

I was introduced to that song in the movie C.R.A.Z.Y Have you seen it?

Not yet, but I do know of it, and I’ll probably see it sometime soon. A good friend of mine also recommended it to me.

As for the song, I was first introduced to it by my first mp3 player, back in grade 8 or 9 I think. It was 256 MB and came with that one song preloaded. I’ve had a weird attachment to it ever since.

My mom just got a new Tassimo coffee (and tea) maker, and tonight I’m taking full advantage of its glory.

I’m hoping all the caffeine will give me the energy I need to tidy up around here. My room is beginning to look like an abstract expressionist painting, which is never good. 

The award came with a $50 Yorkdale gift certificate. I also won a gift basket full of chocolate!

And my old boss bought me a beer. I miss that man.

Five years in the making. Okay, time for a new job now.

I’m going to my work’s Christmas party tonight at a banquet hall here in North York. To be honest, I don’t even like most of my co-workers, or my my boss for that matter. Some of the guys are nice to look at, but they’re all idiots really. Actually, my favourite thing about my job is the customers.

Anyway I better win an award. I won most improved employee a few years back, and now I’m basically the fastest, hardest working person there, if I might boast a little…

Oh, and there better be free drinks.

I really really really want to see Mary Poppins at the Princess of Wales. Yeah, I know.
