my other blog

my shop

my studio is almost ready for me to be able to move my art tools and supplies in it.
as far as working there, i could shoot some small object already...
to do more stuff, i need a big table (wes is going to build me one),
take the chairs out. i'm replacing them with some cool movable retro furniture.
there is still a lot to be done ..but it's cool for now

i'm going to have another blog on blogger...i think i like it much better and it allows more options that LJ.
and i feel i a little too old for LJ too. i think blogger has a more adult audience and more artists
that finished college a loooooong time ago..
i'm not going to delete LJ, i 'll be here for the communities and polaroidart and a few people that i like..
but speaking of people i like here is a link to the my new blog
come say hello, and i suggest you get one too, it's pretty nice.

too damn tired

i'll post something new really soon, i promise..
i'm just worked..but i did have some "forbidden" fun ..
at the hotel 2 weekends ago..oh yeah
can't go into details, except for there was
no picture taking this time..;)

moving to a new blog

2008-01-28T04:26:17Z

it's been raining almost non stop..it' s wet and cold outside, nasty.
it stopped yesterday for the first part of the day, so we went and played some tennis..
it was hard, but the sun felt so good...but it didn't last long.

so i've been inside for the most part of the weekend, tweaking on my computer,
working on my site a little, and i figured out how to "html" a blog on my own site.

i'll be "moving" there, and i'll be posting new photos and stuff that are not on flickr
or on any other blog ( i only have LJ for a blog anyway),
other words, all the new material you'll be able to see only on my website's blog .
to leave comments you'll just have to type some letters, so the computer
knows it's not spam, very easy.
i made one post there, check it out, my friends,
hope you'll be be visiting me there often.

rain, snow, wind....it's freezing!

2008-01-25T07:04:04Z

i am so so tired..my body feels like it's been hit by a truck.
i have to survive tomorrow. and when i say "survive", i mean
literally survive the freezing ice cold air, dealing with the
countless equipment and parts, people moving shit in and out
of the rain all day long..and basically a constant stress.
i keep repeating to myself "at least you don't have to commute"..
but..i don't know.....

the weather is terrible right now, but it's actually normal
for souther california to have rain, snow and cold at this time a year,
esp. in february..i remember this from years ago.
we just didn't have the rain lately... i want the sun back!

my cat likes to run outside in the rain..is that normal for a cat?!
she's weird, but so lovable!

still working on my book, just a little at the time..
not enough energy.

also i wish i had no clutter at work OR at home..
just a bed and a window...

it was such a nice weekend, it was warm, sunny, even hot in studio city.
i drove to the city, visited with my friend nina, it was nice..
worked on the book a little..i changed my mind about the pages background..again!
so i have to redo a lot of pages...more delays.
made a few tiny changes on my website, bluecitrusart
i'm still going to redesign the whole thing, it's just for now.

i can't wait till my 3 months "probation" at work is over..
at least i'll be able to plan something after that happens

not enough time...

i so love weekends..i can stay up late, sleep in late, watch TV,
drink coffee..slowly ..for 3 hours straight!but it's so short, it's criminal..
plus there is aways something you got to do or go somewhere..
in my case i have to work on my book, i have a class, i have to
work on my website, etsy shop,visit my mom occasionally (45 min. from my house),
visit my friend nina,do things around the house..and it just goes on and on and on!
i was so happy when i had some time and energy to create something..
not lately . there is just simply NOT enough time for anything at all..

i sold some prints in my etsy shop, that feels pretty good!
etsy is fun, i love it, and people are so so talented there.
(i just hope it stays that way, non commercial)..
pretty addicting too.
so far i got a gocco printer (haven't tried it yet but dying too, hopefully soon),
i got this wonderful valentine card with fantastic graphics from missnefarious86 ,
4 customized stamps (logo, very cool citrus graphic that i made, etc.),
traded one of my pictures for this awesome t-shirt
also i like this bag

these are some of the pictures that i sold or listed

those frames come free with a print

i miss my hotels

the good and bad of 2007

2008-01-03T07:15:25Z

good things i've done in 2007~

quit the office job
found another (non) office job with almost no commute
adopted a wild cat (or better yet she adopted us)
went to church (4 times)
opened an etsy shop
tried to volunteer for a good cause

i think that's about it for now...

bad things i've done in 2007~

one thing i won't even talk about (it's not criminal, but let's just say
it doesn't go well together with the church at all, def. a sin)
stopped going to church on sundays
did not volunteer (can not find energy or time, it's pathetic, i know)
did not signed up for classes in college (yet, so there is a hope)

what about you?

almost a hurricane.....
but suddenly it just died an hour ago

i've been absent a little lately..still looking for a job..it HAS to be in my area,
the commute is just too much..
but besides that i FINALLY have been printing a lot of my prints,
that i framed also and i'm selling them on etsy
i only have a few prints up so far, but i'll be adding...
AND i've been working on my book also ...a little..
anyway, i am determent ..check it out, what do you think?

the update

2007-10-04T03:12:31Z

polaroidart

you would think that i would have more time for myself since i'm still not working..
but oh no, there is always something..
my mom is out of town for a few weeks, so i had to check on her cat now and then,
which wasn't that bad i guess, but there is a lot more shit i had to do besides that..not even
worth getting into..
went to palm desert this weekend to visit wes's sister, that was fun. they're staying in this really awesome
place with great pool, etc. it's a high class place, i tell you..more hotel polas naturally..
but i'm gona wait, we really want to go back there on sunday and monday , but i have to wait about my
work search situation. hopefully i'll get something part-time soon..hopefully

waiting for the storm

polaroidart

all day home on a computer..2 computers actually..looking at jobs..it's a fucking job to find a job..agrhhh
big storm was suppose to come..it smells like it, got pretty windy, but not too much rain..
need rain here big time..

one of my dreams.........not the nightmare this time

also my polas are in an online mag!

2007-09-14T07:52:12Z

also check out this cool online magazine Foto+Graphic mag - this is the link to their polaroid section,
but the whole mag is really cool...i think

blah blah

2007-09-05T06:58:37Z

yes, i have a camera in my hand almost all the time..not every day,
when i go to the same place every single day i don't.. but definitely
always when i travel..

anyway, i like this polaroid..it's probably not great, but hopefully is attention drawing
or provokes some kind of thought or feeling..
i have more of similar , may be better then these polas , i'll put them in a collages.

dailynews stars

2007-09-04T08:12:48Z

yeah, we made it in the daily news...again, haha. so funny to me.
as you know it's been well over a 100 here day in and day out..
i didn't do anything outside for 5 days, it's just too hellish..
but i miss tennis, so despite a 109 on a thermometer, today we went out to hit some balls..
at about 1pm..while we're practicing, this news photographer pulls up and asks
if he could take photos of us for the new dailynews issue...we said, sure, no problem..
last summer we made the news also playing in a heat , while that huge 4 months
fire was raging, and ashes were flying everywhere..it was crazy!..

here is the link to the paper online, what a crack up!.. http://www.dailynews.com/santaclarita/
if you don't feel like clicking, here are the pictures of us( lame pics i think, btw, because he took
some great action shots of us hitting really nice, but i know his editor picked these)
DYING in the heat..mainly me

killer heat

2007-09-02T03:48:47Z

visit polaroidart

damn, it's been so freaking hot here..total madness! can't do anything, can't really go anywhere..
except for the malls..or Border's. that's where we went yesterday..mall, Border's and then
saw this movie Superbad. what a crack up, really funny. i needed a good laugh.
i wish i could afford a hotel for a couple of days right now..a nice room with a good AC..
it's 108 in santa clarita on average, and the AC at out place can't even compete with the weather..
it's not even cool inside...fuck, when is it ever going to end...

cool weekend a month ago, south bay

i bought something new and cool!

2007-08-19T05:48:10Z

And this is my new little ipod that i got today.
also lately i've been kind of obsessed with Amy Winehouse.
i just LOVE her voice, and her look (before the "bee hive" shit ).
she has beauitiful long think black locks..but she's all ckracked out..
i guess the fame got to her or something..
anyway i got her cd and another favorite band's of mine , smashing pumpkins new album zeitgeist
fucking dope! love it, need to download it on my new shufle very soon
