Day 35: What my plans are...

So jhwygirl left a comment on my post about Mortimina, the work of Spart, asking the simple question, "What's next?" I think she was referring to what I'll do after post Indy, and not what I'll next carve out of Spam, but maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway, right now I have ideas, but nothing pegged down for what my career will become. I think I have a few prospects, but who knows? I'll know more in the coming weeks, but rest assured that I've hedged myself for a few months of life via some minor savings, and a pending tax return that should get me through April. So I'm doing all right actually. Worst comes to worst I start living in Caras Park, or moving to Phoenix to be a "manny" for my brother.

Though I do have one problem going on right now. Last week I learned that a rumor is afoot that I got canned at the Indy, of course those reading the blog know that's not true, but hearing it asked of me semi-seriously got me sort of freaked out. What would I have been fired for? Writing some decent articles? Talking smack about Plum Creek Timber? I'm leaving on pretty damn fine terms with the Indy actually, and penning a feature this week, which – get this – tends to be a big part of the paper.

Speaking of which, I have to write some of that right now, so I should go do that instead of blogging about my rather boring day. Something tells me Wednesday will bring a decent post (last day of work).

Day 33: A small update on yesterday...

Okay, this is all I wanted to post about:


Yeah, that's a pig ("Mortimina") carved out of Spam. My friend Tonya had her birthday last night with the theme "Whitetrash Birthday." So we carved Spam, and I went for the ironic item with some help from Alisia (The ears were her handy work). We didn't win the competition though, Tonya gave it to her brother's girlfriend...damn nepotism.

Looking at my art, or "Spart," this morning I'm not exactly proud of it. It's really gross.

I'll be back later today...
