Wishing all a great Thanksgiving.

Working hard on my Thesis Show.  Postcards will be out soon.\n\nDecember 15th will be the Grad show … followed my graduation on December 16th.

My niece got some sort of report this cancer seems to be very localized so surgery is the way to go… We haven’t heard the number of tumors she has.

Mike is with friends upstate Minnesota. I am hoping he will be coming home tomorrow. Finally the skies are clear but it is cold today.

I am looking forward to working ing my drawing and finishing it up tomorrow or Wednesday. I will be needing to work on the video soon.

Later…

The projects are going along well. Having fun with Director. Have tried the Director animation a couple different ways which ever way I have done it, it is a real drag on the processor.

I can’t believe… I can’t remember how to do repeating loops or set up functions. Some other things I remember so well.

The sun is out — would have been a great day for drawing but it is so blasted windy. I am hoping Friday will be better. I have to figure out how I am going to hang the camera for my installation. Seems I’ll be doing a performance piece with the camera mounted above me while I am tracing my shadow on the floor below. The image caught by the projector of me tracing my shadow will be projected on the wall.

Next couple days I will post the floor plan for my thesis show.

Later.

Waiting for sun… having a good time today. Working on the animation for my final project–”the Grinder.” It is going well but needed a bit of a break. So here I am.

I certainly don’t get tired of taking photos. This image was taken the morning of Oct 20th. Before I started my drawing that day. I did draw yesterday but it got very cloudy so I had to quit at noon. I am hoping to be able to resume it again on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The weather doesn’t look like it will cooperate until then. Bummer. 

Do hope to get my animation done today.

Check in– Yesterday was a good day. The software for the “Grinder” is working. Will be drawing Friday and producing the last drawing piece for my Thesis Show.

Still got to get to IKEA to find the enclosure. The enclosure I really want to have finished by 11•22.\r\n\r\nHanded off my thesis to Piotr so now all three of my committee members have it. The Learning Center is doing a final read. My committee will meet on December 12th at 12:30p.m. I will graduate on the 16th. Whoa!

I chose to put Michael’s and my photo up because I need to acknowledge how important this man is to me. I’m the blonde and Mike is the handsome man in from of me.

Busy next couple of days… I got the software running for the Grinder piece. I will need two computers but I think it will work out just fine. Today I need to finish my citations and get the furniture for the installation. Perhaps I will be able to work on it later today and tomorrow. I think I will be able to do some drawing outside Friday–looks like it will be a nice day.
Nothing profound but logging in.
