Happy Easter! Hope you're having better weather than we are...rainy blah blah blah. I'm watching gorgeous Masterpiece Theatre movies on PBS to make up for the lack of sun :)

Haha, well, there's a lot to go back and forth about!

I love all the Ben stuff. He's such an amazing character to watch, it's hard to know what he'll do next

Happy Easter! Hope you've been finding the time to keep up with Lost, what wonderful craziness!

The glass sculptor? I have seen some of his work when I was in Tacoma for a meeting. There's a really neat bridge leading over the freeway to the glass museum, with wall of encased glass sculptures that shimmer in the sun. It's AMAZING. Hopefully we'll have some time one of these days to visit the actual museum.

I've never been to Bellingham, I'll have to check it out! I'm driving up to Vancouver with a visiting friend so I think I'll be driving through Bellingham.

One major thing I miss about Ohio is all of my friends and family, and having them to go out to lunch with!! I rarely go out anymore. You would think that would leave more time for reading, but noooooo :)

Well I hope things work out for you and that you're back home in no time :D Does UW have a campus in Bellingham? That would rock!

Ooooh, come to Seattle!! There are at least 3 of us here already (Faith, Robert, me). I totally understand why you want to come back. My husband is in grad school going for his PhD in Genetics, and he goes to a lot of seminars at UW. He's technically still a student with Case Western back in Cleveland..his lab moved here and all the grad students had to follow. So here we are! I'm really starting to love it here.

My aunt has her Masters in Library Science, and works at a University. I was considering it myself before I found a Web/Graphic design program. My cousin has her Masters in English, and teaches at the college level now. So you're on a great path!

Yeah that was the hardest part for me, too. 18-19 year old kids can be so annoying and disrespectful! Thankfully, most of my degree was finished online with students all much older than me..professionals going back to school to enhance their resumes. What are you studying?

I feel for you...trying to get through school outside of "college years" really sucks!! But know that there is light at the end of the tunnel...you will finish! I never thought I would, but I did :)

I was in school up until last August, so I know how you feel!! I got sick of college after 8 years (with a 3 year break to work full-time...blah to tuition!) I always wanted to choose fantasy novels over textbooks!

Favorite Artists:
Ansel Adams - I am a little obsessed with black and white prints though I am horrible with my composition (a little too impatient to learn when the automatic settings do so well

Van Gogh and really most artists Dutch. I spent a year in the Netherlands and come from a Dutch heritage so I'm a little taken with them right now.

I am also discovering all kinds of new artists all the time on etsy.com. I love to find new inspirations as I start out down this new road. :)
Favorite Writers/Books/Stories:
Terry Brooks, Jasper Fforde, Melanie Rawn (though I'm a tad cranky she won't finish the trilogy already!), David and Leigh Eddings, and heck a billion more.
Favorite Music/Musicians:
Josh Groban, Clousseau, Shakira, Leona Lewis, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and all those grunge guys (I'm a child of the 90's). I can't forget the Gin Blossoms whose greatest hits album has not left my car in weeks.. ahhh..

Thanks to iTunes suggestions I am always finding new bands as well - love it. Peter, Bjorn and John, Jack Johnson, the Decemberists and Colbie Caillet have all entered my world that way.
Favorite Movies:
Stardust, the Prestige, Equilibrium, Age of Innocence, Breakfast at Tiffany's, the Ghost and Mrs. Muir, the Harry Potter movies, Pride and Prejudice (not the Keira Knightley version, I hate her)... and many, many more..

Exploration in negative space..

Oh why not!? I'll add a blog post. I have not done that before. Of course, I'm going to cheat and just add the link to my most recent post on my "other" blog.. LOL

I am so loving my drawing class! It's wonderful to be forced to do something I have never made the time for before.

If you are super curious and want to see my hideous art.. click here

It's pretty scary, but I'm having fun! =)
