Other creative paths!

Weather
I must talk about this topic this time around. Chicago has been under a spell of no snow or very cold weather, up until today! I almost wanted to post a status on my FB saying, "For awhile there, Chicago seemed like it was turning into Texas. With.. a lack of snow, har-dy har har!" or something in those lines. We finally got snow, but sadly its dieing down now. Hrm, according to weather channel.. we will be getting more snow. How long will it last? A day.. 2 days.. a week? Not sure, but I hope it stays so I can finally at least take some beautiful pictures of the snow covering the city. If not, then there's no big deal on it. I can always go back to my Photo challenge I created at my Facebook page. If you like ins on this challenge, like have an idea of what I should take pictures of, then leave a note!! I'll try my best on it, but if its anything weather related it just might take the right timing.

Reeling changes
As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting much blog posts such as this one. Frankly, I almost would like to say that there's no point in such updates like these. I'm sure no one cares of what I'm really up to, not artistic wise, and basically nothings totally new in my end. I'm trying to keep things low key and well personal almost. Same goes with my Facebook statuses, if anyone has noticed there! Changes around the blog are obvious.. new layout, more movie reviews, reviews of any kind, and well possibly just update here with new trends I'm getting into. Meee getting into trends? Nevah, but.. yeah sort of, now. Well, as more changes come into the light here then, well you know them. Other personal changes mentioned in previous post like this one are slowly getting there as well.

Artsy nails
When I can't really work on any big art projects I give myself, I find ways to substitute this part in my life. Since I do babysit my nephew, I always have to keep an eye out on him. Anyways, when I get time to I try to paint my nails. I never done this like a lot before 'cause I saw it as a waste of time and well.. money, but if you stretch your dollars right and/or have a sister/friend that has lots of nail polishes you always wanted to try before, then why not experiment! Here's some I've done already on my own nails:

Idea borrowed here.
Others: Crackle black on light blue, Crackle blue on clear and Midnight blue with black stripe.

Alas, these are other ideas I want to pursue on my nails: Dark Side of the Nails and Birdy nails.

Maybe once the weather permits to not bundle up much with clothing, I can wear all of my Pink Floyd accessories and shirts for that look. I still might do this one next week or so, to perfect it. As for the birdy style one.. I do have a birdy shirt, birdy jean pants, a birdy necklace, and well my nails once I find those birdy stickers. I'm sure I'll find other styles to do on that site.. it will occupy my time, give me another art medium to work with, and well get another skill under my belt. I have yet to get into air brush and possibly tattoos, but I'll hold off completely on that tattoo idea.

Editor for hire!
Speaking of other art elements, since I want to get back into writing this year or improve it more.. I'm in dire need of an editor. I had one before, but things happened and well I'm back to square one in this department. If you or someone you know has spare time or does this for a hobby (yes, sorry I didn't pay previous editor), please let me know if you're interested! You will be credited on the front page of my [short] stories, when they're complete! I appreciate the help I get in this area.. Thank you!!
