Its disorienting, encountering things from childhood that are not as remember them at all.
Then again, also applies to not-childhood things, but not as much of a shock.
I'm in Sudbury, at my grandparents. The neighbourhood looks very suburbanized now - the woods I used to play in / ride my bike over from my parents' house has new subdivisions put up; the farm that was across the road from my Nana's is gone, more new houses in its place.
Sudbury is lonely.
My back is still screwy, and trying to get ahold of sleep specialist to put together an appeal to be able to be back at the college in the fall to finish my DPAI diploma at Georgian. Waiting is not something I'm very good at, but I'm trying to be patient.
Also trying to figure out how to get to San Diego for beginning of August for friends' wedding and perhaps Comic Con. And trying to figure out how to get a job that doesn't mind the narcolepsy or back problems, or get the process of applying for ODSP started instead of getting the run-around. Lots of thinking, and I'm not very good at thinking or concentrating anywhere near my previous levels.
Nana's garden is nice though, and trying to just exist for a few days - barely have anything on my laptop that I can work on, other than a few web-sized versions to upload to various sites. Have my video camera though, and will try to get some footage to throw together when I get back.

ghosts of memories
Going through more of the images on external drive.
Finding ghosts of memories, flickers of half-thoughts, longed-for photographs that I had thought were lost, and visions of a different self.
Found a photo that I've had as the desktop on my powerbook for the past two years -- but couldn't find the original file for ages. Was extremely giddy to find it, as I thought it was gone. Had a hard drive fail 2006-2007 terms, and then another get b0rked, and had pretty much figured the raw file was long gone into pixel-black-hole.
Sometimes, I kind of think I shoot too much. [In terms of ending up with this huge massive backlog of images untouched,
november 10th
Sitting, going through some of the older images.
Worrisome-- can't find my 2007 images. Probably on another external drive [I hope]. Not sure what I shot, but it is slightly disconcerting not having a clue where they have gotten to.
I'm still trying to work on completing DPAI @ Georgian, down to five credits remaining, two of which are general education that I am hoping to transfer credits from Cambrian for. Am working on one this semester, which will leave me with the final Techniques and Portfolio Development classes next semester.
Still trying to get accepted for ODSP, so that I can live somewhere other than my parents', and be able to
Sun-day
Went out shooting today with the Barrie camera club, had a blast. Waterfalls in Bala and near Bracebridge. Shot about 7gb worth of images, mostly HDR panoramas. Sleepy - sun and me do not mix well.
Working on book cover concept for Sean Costello's new novel, really glad to be doing some design work again.
Still on Gaia, I love hunting down bugs to fix. Plus I get to dress up my pixel-self all spiffy-like and pretend to be an evil overlord in a virtual economy. Well, generally benevolent low-end upper class with a penchant for surreal naked ballet.
Sleep now.
June already
Wow, it's June. :O_o:
Whoa, I just realized it has almost been a year since I have submitted anything.
I have a ton of photographs, images, half-finished paintings, video bits and pieces, that have been sitting at the back of my mind. "Put them up, put them up...!"
What holds me back is the sheer mass of backlog.
And that it is all spread across 2x 500gb drives, 1x 1tb drive, 1x 320gb, 2x 250gb. Duplicates, multiple versions, you name it - it is a snarl of insanity. Big chunk of the 1tb drive is video footage of my lectures, as well as footage from Latvia. Which I had a rough edit of, and then lost somewhere before New Years.
