So this weekend, i didn't leave my house.. seriously. but I've been busy, all day saturday I was doing design work and then today i wrote that paper i've been putting off.
hmm nothing else to say really. i'm pretty happy though, i guess thats all.
ok, question to you camera savvy people out there. i have a pentax external flash/hot shoe whatever. how the fuck do i get it to work with my canon digital rebel xti?

So here's another mix for you guys before I go out. This one is basically a rearranged mix of a another mix i have in my car, my "lovey" mix. Yeah well, enjoy :)
So I decided to make a mix, it's filled with up beat and dance type music. Click on the image above to download it, is hosted on rapidshare. I'm probably going to do more of these later on.
i did the typical thing and got my mom some jewelery from forever 21, she loves it. I bought her some sunglasses too because she's been using some jacked ones she found at work.
i bought my grandma some $10 asics rip offs at payless. they're sick..
Hey guys so cleaning out my closet I discovered that I still have a mess of totes back there. Some painted and some not, so below are pre-painted totes for sale. Please comment or email me at raisethesails@gmail.com if you would like a custom painted tote for just 10 dollars more.
I'm going to make some little packages of like 4x6 watercolor drawings and pins and butons and little crafty things to sell for $12 bucks a pop. So look out for those.
if you can, please pimp this post with this if you can:
I still need to go back and clean up the lines on the animals and add some relection/shading to the ballons. but thats pretty much the final product right there lovelies.
So yesterday I had a little photo shoot with my cousin Bridgette. Around the corner from her house there is a dead end street with a bunch of unkept trees behind it, i thought that would be cool to do it there. The only downside was all the bugs and it was hot as shit outside. She did really well, i remember the last time I shot her for my intro to photography class my teacher was obsessed with her. She has a good look. ANYWAY, take a look at those.
Today after school paige picked me up to go thrifting with her. We first went to the publix sabor in hialeah because she needed to do some snooping for her job. Thrifting sucked, other than making fun of the random tshirts. I didn't buy anything, it was either shit or too expensive. We ended up near sunset so she could take 3 hours to buy some brushes at her boy friends job haha.
anyway, easter pictures on my flickr, i dont feel like posting them.
WEEEEE, so me and Neil (ideogram) have been talking alot lately. In our seemingly endless conversations we decided to open a blog together. A sort of collective blog with different designers and artists dedicated to posting art, music, and photos.
It's pretty exciting, i just made my first little post over there. add it to your favorites. It's going to be really awesome.
Hand sewn plush for sale I'm selling my little guy for $100 obo, I'm pricing him so high because he's sewn completely by hand. Took me forever. $100 seems really high to me, so i'll take offers. You could either email me at raisethesails@gmail.com or leave a comment here.
I'd also like to gage interest on these, I plan on making a few of these but dramatically smaller, maybe 5 inches tall. for about $40 each, anyone interested?
I got a flickr which i plan on using ALOT so go ahead and add that to your favorites i guess. I don't really understand all of flickr's doodads so if someone wants to explain the whole contacts thing for me, that'd be great. I'm going to get a pro account one of these days. anyway, i was playing around with the 200mm lens. I'm in absolute awe with this camera, its such a difference from using a point and shit.. it's funny because everytime i tell i'm with it i say how awesome it is and someone always replies with, "shit $800 it better be awesome" hahaha. ( some other pictures from today )
So today was pretty much errand day, I went to go pick up my cousin again. I think its so funny that shes pregnant, I mean its such a serious situation.. I can't help but laugh. that's just the way I am. So she came over because she lives in a little studio apartment basically with her boyfriend and he was working but she had the day off. So we went to walmart, I got theeee best easter thing for my little cousins. I'll post it later in a filter since my aunt reads my lj. if you're reading this bibi, suck it.. you'll have to wait until sunday to see it!
so i've noticed a couple of people have added me. since my friends only post is kind of a couple of episodes back, and people have been letting me know on various entries, i decided to make a new one. so if you've added me and i haven't added you back, please let me know.
i don't add everyone. p.s. don't ask if you could add me, anyone could add me. i don't mind. i just want to know who is adding me. thanks.
I have to say sewing sure is relaxing. I sat most of the afternoon yesterday and this morning sewing this baby. All while watching non stop simpsons episodes off peekvid.com, which has become my biggest addiction.
I really like how he turned out, the color is ALL wrong, he's supposed to be more of a yellow green, but they didn't have any yellow green felt at walmart. so oh well, maybe another day. He's also pretty massive, i didn't intend to make him that big, he just is haha. I'm working on a little rabbit right now, thats coming out really cute. I might sew some for my cousin's easter baskets or something.
I got my first credit card yesterday, it's pretty hot. $500 limit, visa platinum, and has van gogh's a starry night on it. I'm most probably going to pay for colorwares to paint my sidekick with it, i tried to get tmobile to get me a new one by telling them something was wrong with it, but they only offered to repair it. the only thing thats wrong with it is purely cosmetic.
I cut my hair today myself, cut off a lot. I like freaked for a second because i cut the back to short i felt, but it wasn't. This weekend I'm going to dye a chunk of it reddish/brown in the front, i found some dye in the bathroom. let's see how that goes.
I also need to finish sewing a plush i'm sewing. It's turning out REALLY cute. so look out for that.
whatelseee... thats all. I want some new glasses. i might put that on the good ol' visa too.
I'm pretty annoyed with my english teacher, no matter how hard i try to write an essay to her standards, bitch always gives me a C- or a C. Whatever, i guess i'll just have to be fine with that grade.
No class on thursday, i'm going to use part of it to sign up for summer classes. I'm going to miss the break of summer but I'm almost done with my academics so i need that semester to catch up.
Life seems to really be passing me by lately, my weeks are so full that on the weekends i'm either sleeping all day or doing some mindless task to keep me busy. I think i'm going to start working out again to keep me active, i used to do so much walking downtown that I didn't need to exercise, but now i just drive my car everywhere.
I'm trying to get back into design, i haven't made any graphics since december. Sunday is the artist pick up at tates, i have to go in and pick up my munny since i didn't want to sell it. It's also a vinyl toy trading party, so that might be interesting. anyway later.
so there's a pretty good chance I'm getting another dog. Adam just got another dog but they might get rid of it because they already have two big dogs to take care of.
so by the weekend I should know. its a black golden retriver girl, really fucking cute. I'm seriously dying, I really hope I get it.
its at work today just sitting there staring at me. ugh. loveeeee.
a b. nature girl sold c. d e f. so i decided to just sell these totes on here, i kind of need the money now. i haven't been getting that many hours at work.. so heres how it'll work $25 a tote, first come first serve. so if you want one of these, leave a comment and i'll give you my paypal so you can send the payment. $30 if you want a set of pins with it. free shipping.
if you don't have paypal, i'll set up a buy now button for you. if they don't sell here i'm taking them to hot_fashion
thanks for being so tasty, i have some of this every morning. i've been sleeping on the couch because the tv in my room isn't working.. in other news i'm skipping my photography class tomorrow because i dont want to walk three miles for photographic paper.
so look at that, intensely adorable. my brother came home from naples today with this little guy. he's a long haired chiuaua, or wire haired i dont know. his name is madden, so cute.
all hes been doing is sleeping and he peed a little. but i think i love him. i'll post pictures from this weekend later, i came home early from a superbowl thing cos i was tired. and i have to do some home work.... great.
edit: scooby doesn't like him too much, like he doesn't want to be near him.. its weird. he should get over it soon i hope.
