The deep breath before the plunge

Today is the day before the firing, and so there is much to be done of course. Not necessarily for the firing, but still much to be done. As the week has commenced I have steadily been getting up earlier and earlier. I want to actually get some sleep the night before my 1st shift and there is no way that would happen if I kept getting up and going to bed at my usual times.

Currently this is giving me more time in the morning and I have been using it to complete patent work. Today I will be editing my new animation for a bit. After that I have my usual Wednesday stuff to do and then I am off to the loading. Won't be at Adelphi Too late though, Since I have to get up around 4:30 am tomorrow.

Doing stuff

Finished the patent job, which is good, cause I need to be freed up for the up coming firing.

For those I haven't told this will be my schedule over the following days:

Thursday firing 6am to noon, then working at NCC from 6 pm to 11 pm

Friday working from 2 to 7, then going back for dance class, and firing from midnight to 6 am Saturday

Saturday I am firing from 6pm till midnight

Sunday work at the gym till 4 then go back to the firing for the end

So it will be a busy couple of days.

I have the typical stuff to do today, nothing amazing, going to try and bring some work back to Adelphi to anchor it in concrete for an upcoming out door show.

Also this is the illustration I've been working on:

Illinois Boys

an uneventful weekend

Nothing good nor bad happened this weekend, I covered for a prof at NCC. Saturday worked outside with my dad. Sunday I went to work.

I have been working on some patent work yesterday and today. Also while at work I did some more work on an illustration. I will be composing the animation shortly on it.

What's really been weighing on my mind, in a good way, is the upcoming firing. I am looking forward to it, immensely.

The week ahead will be busy, and i am looking forward to it.

Last Couple of days

I have been pretty busy the last couple of days. Tuesday night I covered at Nassua. Wednesday did my usual amount of work.

Wednesday night I got a call to Cover at NCC again on Thursday at 7:15 to 3:30. So that is where I was yesterday. Then I popped over to Adelphi to discuss and upcoming show with An Ti. I came home tried to relax for a bit, then cooked dinner, went to dance class and saw a movie.

Today I am back at NCC to do another cover. Also I have patent work to work on, which is a small job but none the less, I need to get started on.

That is the fascinating thins about life, it goes 0 to 60 in 2 seconds.

NCC Tonight

If you check I posted a bunch of articles the other day to Helium. Didn't get a chance to work on any patent or personal work. Something about typing that just makes it a time vortex, you sit down and before you know it your day is gone.

Tonight I'll be working at NCC. Should be a better shift since there actually is a class their tonight. Hopefully I will be able to get some other tings done as well.

A pretty good weekend

I spent most of saturday helping out m y dad. We were working on fixing a trelace the spans the back deck. The weight of the vines growing on it was dragging it down.

Later that night I went out to eat with some old friends from high school. I haven't seen these guys in about 8 years. It was nice to catch up.

Sunday I worked as usual, did some writing and some typing. I will be putting up some new articles by the end of the day.

My plans for the day are pretty simple. I have more typing I want to finish. I would like to complete the inking phase of the illustration I am working on. Also I got some patent work in and I want to get to that as well.
