*f*artin' around

i'm trying to avoid loafing around [drinking] in my apartment all day, and it turns out that that's difficult, since i haven't been able to find a job just yet and the vast majority of my friends have returned to their respective cities for the summer... but oh well.

rockin' and rollin'.
alone.
in my apartment.
just me, sissy spacek, and shelley duvall.

One More Try

also, here is this slightly offensive-looking painting that i did:

here's a painting that i did right after finishing my very last animation project of sophomore year:
 

oh, and here's a painting that i've been working on for ages that i will probably never finish:
 

i'm a scatterebrained mess right now, but at least i'm a scatterbrained mess with an address.
