I love this
I loved it while I was making it, I love it now. It's like looking at clouds, I see all sorts of things in the shapes that I didn't even know I was drawing.
More Staff Meeting Doodles
This is a scan of a full page: A whale, a quail, and a little deco sort of thing that was totally inspired by the bursts of life that surround Raina in the graphic novel, Blankets.

I drew some not-so-scary (mostly silly, in fact) monsters at our last Staff Meeting. Behold:
3/3/10
Today, I baked bread.
Just out of the oven.
Here is the recipe. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, and I forgot to get lemons so I just used two teaspoons of orange juice in the glaze.

Vacation pictures, Part A
These are pictures I took my first day in the Bahamas:
My Matthew's profile before leaving Boston, on a rainy morning.
After settling in at our bed and breakfast, we went for a walk. These leaves were taking a swim together.
We took a bus to explore Nassau. These buses were rickety little things that barreled down the roads. It was quite an adventure! On the way back to the B&B, the bus was too full, so we sat on these little jump seats that folded down into the aisle. It was a little ridiculous, and pretty awesome. Look at Mr. Simoneau, all sitting pretty wedged in there.

Crankypants
You guys, I am so grumpy!
I just got back from a glorious vacation, and I was remarkably happy to be home despite the gloriousness (I missed my shower, and my bed, and my normal-sized toilettries). I was so pleased that the transition was going to go smoothly - even the weather in Boston is mild and bearable!
BUT nothing is working!
My washing machine is squeaking, and my internet is broken, and I had to go into work on my work-from-home day because I couldn't access any of my files, and my CAMERA...
Let me tell you about my camera:
I am editing the pictures from aforementioned glorious vacation, and I'm having some problems. Firstly, I have apparently forgotten the lionshare of my photography skills. What was I doing with high ISOs in the bright bright sun? Who knows. Not me. IN ADDITION, the digital sensor is so very splochy. Finally, I've had a hunch for awhile now (like, more than a year) that there's something wonky with my focus. When I manually focus it doesn't come out right, and when I auto-focus it doesn't come out the way I want it to (I think this has something to do with the view-finder).
Everything is grainy, and out of focus, and has splotches, and it was too sunny and the pictures of my handsome boyfriend are all squinty, and I only took pictures on the first and last day, and I didn't take any pictures of the inside of our hotel, and HELLO I AM POUTING!
Okay. Grumble. I'm going to try to post some pictures now.
