PERS - Face of the Earth.

You may/may not be wondering what has been going on with me in the last little while.

Well, I've been working. Working at the call centre, and working on my arts portfolio.

I've applied to OCAD and the admissions office suggested I apply for Advanced Standing, which could possibly allow me to skip a year. But before I can think about skipping the year, I have to make one kick-ass portfolio. The portfolio evaluation will be in February, and I'm excited about it all.

I've been painting, sculpting, assembling, sketching, and drawing several pieces, and swapping them back and forth to replace good ones with slightly less good ones. The requirements for advanced standing ask that I include some 3D art work, so I've been constructing a light fixture, as well as brainstorming a scene acted out by some wire figures.

I'm in the middle of a shift at work as we speak, but I may put up some of my artwork at a later date.

Time wasters:
Stuff On My Cat.com - a website where numerous cats are photographed with stuff on them. It's interesting just how many cats love to be covered with objects.

Inspector Parker - this is definitely old school, but here's a detective type game in the same vein of the board game Clue where you sort out where people and objects are to solve a murder. Give it a chance, it's pretty fun.

Diner Dash - for those of you who dreamed of being a waiter/waitress but just didn't have the determination or university degree to do it, ease some of your heartache with Diner Dash, a game where you run a diner and watch as customers get really angry when you forget to place their order or sit them down to eat.

That's all for now...and uh, sorry for not updating EVER.
