Today was nothing but CHAOS!  But, rather than let the stress of the
chaos to me, I did like the song says, rode the chaos and made a
bonfire with all the negative stuff.  Right now, I feel like a
full-fledged Discordian Pope (and I’m not even Discordian) or something…  I just feel good!

I
was having a bad case of full-blown depression, but I decided it could
go to hell, pressed on with my work and found a good deal on sweet
frozen things. 

There was a strange day with a  full moon (not that it matters, it just sounds more dramatic.)

Yet, I managed to get everything I needed
to get done, finished.  (Except for the stuff I am submitting to
Debauched Dreams.  But, that can wait until Saturday and Mr. SBE still
needs to send me the FTP info anyhow.  I am so happy that the CC fliers
don’t need to go out until Monday and ditto for the RWOT stuff.)  I
have a plan on how to deal with an important proof that needs to be
looked at before the weekend, as well as the KillerDyke.com site. Tried
to have a nice attitude, and made it in one piece .

I know I get
depressed, I know shit happens, but today, I made up my mind to kick
it’s juicy butt and have a stress-free weekend promoting the USAF (a
job I wanted,) yummy foods on the weekend, and drawing Polska, Sucka!
and training in one of the new artists.

Special thanks to Ayperi
and LJ (who were having a worse day than I,) Courie, Gypsy, Naomi and
Loki for helping me pull this feat off!

Now off to shave my
legs, cleanse my greasy body and sleep.  The challenge will be to fight
the urge to party and stay up all night.

Ass-Tastic

1. Woke up at 6:00 am, presumably with enough sleep, but I felt totally wiped-out.
2. I
   was dealing with all sorts of coding, CNAME, blog template tweaking,
   email hell.  AllPurposeModel.com is unreachable at the time of this
   post.
3. I had massive artist’s block on the text-only back
   side of a one-color business card for… (insert your mocking laughter
   here…) an insurance rep.  Needless to say, creativity was pretty sad
   most of the day.
4. I almost forgot to mail my paperwork for my last TMT promo (which was already late by three days…) again.
5. Loki
   and I went to McDonald’s because we didn’t want to look at the kitchen
   after canning 15 pounds of tomatoes (I shit you not) the night before
   and making an elaborate dinner.
6. I went to pick-up my cool
   new newspaper-powered barbecue grill from Freecycle.  I arrived over an
   hour late, thanks to St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids’ Erisian entertainment
   that passes for detour signs during road construction.  The woman
   didn’t have a cell phone.  I wrote down the wrong number, but still
   managed to get a hold of her spouse.  No cool little grill ’till this
   weekend.
7. I forgot to bring my free oil change card to the
   service center at the car dealership.  Needless to say, my car is
   incredibly late for its oil change and that won’t happen until Monday.
8. My office looks like a tornado struck, and Gypsy won’t be able to clean until next week.
9. Gypsy
   was going to treat me to ice cream, but those plans went awry.  I had
   to go back to Rice, because the USAF Promo did go through and I to get
   everything done by TONIGHT.
10. Because of the USAF Promo, I
    have to wake up by 5:00 am tomorrow.  Also, I won’t get to proof a
    major printing project that’s due ASAP until Monday.
11. I still need to wax and shave… and pack.

What do I think of today?  This songs says it all:

I finally updated the Rice Print Shop website to better reflect the reality of what the business is now, and to let people know that I VAS Littlecrow is my business and the print shop is a department, not the other way around.  I am so damn resentful of having people assume that I’ve only been at this for two years, when in reality, I’ve been a business owner for the majority of my adult life, that I can hardly stand it.

I also updated my main blog’s look some more.  It’s still an LJ blog, but now, it can now be reached at VanesaLittlecrow.com.  Hopefully the addition of its own domain will make the search engine demi-gods happy, and will show people that this autobiography/writer/artist stuff is not amateur hour anymore.

More housecleaning to come…
