Artemis + Apollo

For about two years now, I have wanted to create a site called Artemis + Apollo. I had very mixed intentions and meddled goals for the site, but let's just say they all involved needing a web designer and tons of money! There were going to be all these different pages for my portfolios, styling, an about me and a page where you can buy things I make. Over zealous, much? 

I decided to scratch the project but kept my domain name parked just in case the mood struck to use it again.

You guessed it. It struck.

I’ve always wanted a tumblr. They’re inspirational and free. I never got one because I didn’t want to be that girl with the three blogs AND the tumblr. It looks like there is no avoiding it. I’m that girl! I am pretty much already addicted.

I decided to change the theme or color scheme of my posts every eighteen pictures, in order to present a coherent look or idea, instead of a bunch of randomness. A tumblr within a tumblr! I hope this decision is a good one; I'm already very pleased with my primary colors on my tumblr now!

One more goal I get to cross of the list!
Check it out!

Mind: Watch a Large Quantity of Films!

I have always loved movies and everything about them. I rent books in the library about the 1,000 films to see before you die, or collections of Roger Ebert's film reviews and I spend hours on IMDB. Going to movies are expensive, and if you live in a small town where every Blockbuster and Hollywood video has gone out of business, your only options are the zombie films in the Publix redbox.

I just was not satisfied. So, I decided to sign up for Netflix. The first month is free and I love the service so much, I don't think I'm going to cancel it for a few more months. I watch two movies a week and have hundreds in my queue! Here are the films I have watched over the past month:

I have never seen a film I didn't like for some reason or another. Some I liked for their sheer entertainment value while others moved me to tears and made me think about the world and my place in it. Each of these are special in their own way. I love that Netflix is giving me the opportunity to watch the movies I've always wanted to see but never knew where to find them! Indie films, foreign films, even the classics. The selection of watch instantly films is not the best, but there are plenty there to keep you occupied for a few months!

Of all of them, these are my favorites: Kramer vs. Kramer, C.R.A.Z.Y., The Names of Love and Trade.

The Twins' Canvas!

I have been in the process of making something for my beloved Webb twins for months now. I FINALLY sat down with the intention of finishing their canvas.

What you see now is just the base, I'm going to stencil something over it!!!

June Goals

I have two more months of my gap year!!! AHHH!

There are still many, many things I have to accomplish although I have realized that I can't get it all done. I'm still going to keep blogging and if Blogger lets me upload more pictures, I will keep up with this thing! 

So here are the goals for June!

Just a few things.
- Y'all. Get on the pilates train. I love them! I even took my band on vacation and did a few sessions in the hotel room. They are so easy.

- I directed a play called Not About Nightingales a year and a half ago and am making a commemorative video for my amazing cast

- My best  friend Brenna turns 20 on Thursday and my present making is about to be put to the test!

- I have a BUNCH of t-shirts I need to cut up this summer, so that has to happen!

I think the rest are pretty self explanatory! Do you guys have anything you want to accomplish this summer??? Get tan? Go on vacation more? Get some summer reading in? Let me know!
