Snapped this lil gem of myself in a rounded mirror with tha shell phone at a champagne party yesterday. I'm so emo -- its not my party but I'll still cry if I want to. (er, someone really did start crying there actually.)

making like the who -- and smashing my guitar (piñata)

So I've been slightly slacking on my creations but not totally. The current project: setting up a garden on my balcony and building a planter.

Maybe I should switch from crappy wanna-be graphic artist person to crappy wanna-be jokester.
