 I went to the dollar store the other day and passed by the silly cheap school supply section.  I was inspired by the flimsy posterboard to take up a little art project.  So I bought a couple sheets, some glue sticks and a packet of paster paper and started planning out my project.

Now admittedly, my plans were a blatant rip-off of some art I had seen at the Seattle Center several years ago, but I really liked it and I guess that excuses my actions.

my project:  a cherry blossom tree made out of cut/ripped paper.

sketch

I sketched out my idea of the finished image, an absurdly twisted rendition of a tree trunk and branches w/ blossoms.

transfer design…

I then roughly sketched the design onto my piece of poster board.
I shredded pieces of browd paper and started gluing them to my posterboard in the shape of the trunk.↓

I then cut out several small pink circles (some I cut into the shape of the blossoms that they will all eventually be) and planned out where I wanted them to be when I finish.↓

That’s as far as I got. I hadplans to do a background scenery out of cut paper as well, but was kind of blocked.  I soon realized taht I probably should have planned out a background before creating my tree.  Live and learn.  Maybe I’ll do some watercolor-like additions, but that would ruin the cut paper theme.  I wish I had some very sheer pnk tissue paper, but it’s not likely to happen.  I may take my tracing paper and give it a slight pink wash.

anywhoooo… this is the status update, as promised.
future updates wil be forthcoming, unless I flake out and forget about this project.

Just got a nervous call from my lawyers who said they wanted to give me a “heads up” about a “situation” at Broadcom. See more about it here. Basically the feds are going after some Broadcom execs over some options backdating stuff. I’m like, So what? I don’t work at Broadcom. They’re like, Um, well, see, Broadcom did its own internal investigation and already cleared these guys, and the SEC isn’t buying it apparently, and though the company itself has already settled the whole thing the SEC is still going after the executives as individuals. Now you do you see? Is this ringing any bells?

I’m like, No, not at all. I don’t hear any bells. I’m sorry.

They go, Steve, your former CFO at Pixar is getting hassled over options backdating. And your former general counsel at Apple is going to trial too. Still not setting off any alarms over there?

I’m like, Nope. No alarms. Just working on my super tasty new iPhone, but thanks for the call. Now I gotta go, my signal is breaking up, I’m going into a tunnel, I think I’m losing you, can you hear me? Can you? I can’t hear you. Losing you. Okay. I’ll call you back. Bye.

FWIW, if you’d like to get the best account of what went on at Apple during the options backdating crisis and how we managed the crisis, I highly recommend this book.

Question: “How do you view femininity and what aspect do you embrace it with ? An artform, personal growth , because its who you are, sexual gratification?”

Much love to Faddah for sending a link to this video. I’m not trying to get all political on you. I just think it’s a funny video. So no hate mail. Bokay?
