meditation day

My model canceled for tomorrow. It’s annoying, and every day missed working on my print is a little extra stress, but it also frees my morning up. My church has a Buddhist meditation workshop in the morning. At least one of my Earthways people is going, and I really wanted to go and was really [...]

the world of me progresses thusly:

Art Update
My nursing dyad* models will be at our photo studio (a.k.a. my dining room, with everything shoved against one wall while the backdrop is set up on the opposite wall and the light stands are surrounded by bump-happy dog and toddler life forms) tomorrow morning.
I haven’t even started the actual piece and I have [...]

logo feedback, s’il vous plait

Help me decide. Suggest fine tuning. Let me know how the colors look together on your monitor, because my own jacked up one reads them as darker than they are in the rest of the ‘verse.
The zen is more fur/less blur at full size than it looks here. I assume I’ll be able to export [...]

baby free- what to do?

The grandies have their grandson for the overnight, so they want to have the Boo* sleep-over too. I’m so OK with that I just can’t even describe my contentedness. Remember when she was under one and I would have a panic attack if she spent the night with them? Yeah. Things are different at 22 [...]

typecast

Nevermind the insanely perfect accuracy, this just sucks. (Because, remember, We HATE Papyrus!)

Sabine, I have to kick your ass, you lucky ducky Helvetica woman!

i, robot

Feck! Blogger just froze Furry Zen. Apparently my link-love heavy inaugural post set off their spam alarms. They say in four business days they will have examined the site to see if I am a real blogger.
Please don’t anyone suggest that I should be using WordPress because lately I hear nightmares. Of course, I am having [...]

century goth(ic) girl

I have a Cafe Press site: Furry Zen. This is my very first attempt at retail product creation. I give you, interwebs, century goth ic girl. It is my teeshirt lovesong to a typeface and design geeks everywhere.
It’s all I got so far, but it comes in V Neck, V Neck Plus, Scoop Neck Plus, [...]

learn CSS with me and come on my liveblogging journey of silliness & snark

I don’t know if anyone is interested, but if so, here are my live notes on Teh CSS. There are also silly Daisy notes to self that may or may not amuse.

valentine’s day card 2008

Bu’s Valentine’s Day card. I’m feeling really self-satisfied right now and am enamoured with my own cleverness.
Edit: I hope Bu isn’t freaked out I have never gone humorous with the Val Day card- I usually go the metaphysical Rumi-quoting route. I had a great one a few years ago with a human heart and [...]

iGoogle and my new dream

So we know that I am a Google cheerleader; they rock.  However, everyday when I load up my iGoogle homepage, I despair at my cute* fucking header and think, “Why can’t they let me upload my own skin?” And today, when I really need a boost, because I’m strangely really upset about Heath Ledger- like [...]
