I’ve been really reluctant to post about the shearing day of our sheep and alpacas, but I figure that if you can’t laugh at yourself (or your animals!) then you’re taking yourself too seriously. When you look at the pictures you will see what I mean!
My friends, it was it was a bittersweet event. I am glad that they don’t have those big fluffy coats on anymore and I can tell that they are completely relieved to be all lightened up and cool on the super hot days. BUT…..*sigh*……they look,
I know I said this a couple months ago, but now it really IS finally starting to feel like spring here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. It’s been absolutely glorious and that means more time at the river, with the animals, out hiking and less time at the computer. So that is why my postings have been fewer and farther between. But, as any Oregonian knows, the weather can change at the drop of a hat so as soon as it starts raining again (and I’m sure it will here soon, I don’t like to get my hopes up too much with weather like this!) you’ll be seeing more of me on this here blog :-D

This is a screencap from the Iron Man spot that’s now running on TV. The trailer we saw at WonderCon was awesome, but this clip shows Iron Man performing an incredible Njinsky-level balletic leap as he moves in to smash someone’s face. For me, this really captures some of the magic and beauty of the comic and I hope the movie is FULL of images like this.
Hi all, sorry for the delay in updating, things are getting a little backed up around here what with my 2nd semester almost half over. I have a lot of homework, papers coming due soon and a number of other things pending, so finding time to work on my shop is starting to become more difficult. Anyway, I thought I would show you my work in progress. These are the jewelery holders I mentioned last time. The blue
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a survey in the upper right hand side of this blog and I would love if everyone would participate in it
I’ve been blogging away for a few months now, and I thought it was time to sit back and think about the purpose of this blog.
So many people say that blogs are great promotional tools. So last year I decided to start one, thinking that I should
I tried something new this week, wire-wrapping some stones to create an abacus-style pendant.
I’ve seen similar pendants in which multiple stones are strung across, abacus-style. (I think Eni Okin even sells a tutorial.) But I have these interesting cube-shaped malachite beads which I thought might work with a variation of the design.
I was going to try this in silver, but the green malachite
This weekend, B and I are going on a beach trip with one of B’s old high school chums. I’m in serious need of all things summer/beach wear and decided an excursion to the mall was in order. I walked to the bus stop, waited, and…got on the wrong bus. It’s a sickening feeling to be riding a bus and suddenly realize that 1) route 55 Germantown is totally different than route 55 Rockville, 2) you have no clue where you are or where you are headed to, and 3) you’re too embarrassed to approach the
Today was a sad day indeed, as I tore down the beautiful Space Station Zero set… why would I do this, you may ask… Why wouldn’t I just keep the Space Station alive and well in the glorious SC sound stage hidden below the surface of the earth forever? Well it’s time to build new and amazing sets for ‘A Zebra For Sally’ the new upcoming movie that going to start shooting in November… So get ready for some more mayhem.. and perhaps a bizarre underground tomb! Scary.. isn’t it.
Adventures in Jewelry Making: The Lost Earring (Part 2)
Filed Under (Ramblings) by Jack on 24-12-200824 Dec
(Continuation of yesterday’s post.)
The next day I called the instructor to arrange for us to come over to make the earring. (For the sake of this story, let’s call the instructor, Jerry, since that happens to be his real name anyway.) That’s when I learned this was going to be a 2 step process: pick out a piece of turquoise first, then come back and do the metalwork.
So I drove over to his place with the lone earring to pick out the turquoise. I thoroughly expected that
How the fuck can you possibly make a scary commercial about the Happiest Place On Earth? Eastern Airlines found a way. I think we’re seeing why this airline is no longer around.

We have a colour post today - the juxtaposed colours of red and green in this lovely plant. I have used selective focus to isolate the two smaller internal petals from the rest of the plant. The areas surrounding the centre have a different texture
…And wakes me up!
I woke up to the feel of my bed shaking, the windows, rattling, and the house creaking. At first I thought someone was playing a joke and trying to wake me up. Then I realized no one else was in the room and I thought to myself…EARTHQUAKE!!!
The clock said 5:39. It only lasted for about 15 seconds. I stayed in bed a bit to see if there was going to be more.

Thoughts on dogs. (I like big mutts and I cannot lie..)
Filed Under (Ramblings) by Jack on 20-12-200820 Dec
I was surfing on the internet yesterday and happened to find a site with quotes about dogs. After reading them, it made me want to rush home and give my dog a hug.
Here’s a few of my favorites:
- The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. -Anonymous
Sorry I haven’t updated in awhile, I just don’t know what to write. I have started down an amazing path and it all may end soon…my life hangs in the balance (if i didn’t own a vehicle I would be able to continue school…interesting criteria huh?). If I can’t continue this course I have no idea what to do with the rest of my life, I am so finished struggling for everything. Stick a fork in me, I am done.
