So, my subscription has expired. And I have maxed out all my loan money that's how broke I am, so renewing it is really not something on my list of things to spend money on. Plus, I'm not sure I like what DA has been forced to become. I feel kind of like it's become too big to handle. Plus, my life has been painfully crazy lately and I haven't updated in months. Nor do I foresee myself doing it anytime soon. It doesn't help that a lot of my favoured artists have left for personal or pseudo-political reasons.
I'm not going to delete any of my stuff, but I just thought I'd let you all know that I'm probably not going to be adding anything new either. Maybe I'll comment once a month or so, possibly still add things to my faves.
If I use DA for anything though, it will probably be ordering prints... when I'm not so in debt.
I might switch to Flickr. I would've already if I didn't need a yahoo ID. I just got rid of all of mine and am not keen on needing one again.
Possibly now I'll have the incentive to create a website. My own dotcom perhaps. I have 3 people offering me hosting. I need a refresher in flash, but after that I should be alright. Hm. We'll see.
Thoughts on any of this, anyone?

Who's got an * again?
Ooo, that's right, bitches! I'm back! For the summer at least. Looking at other deviations in my daily watch list was just too much of a pain in the arse when I wasn't a subscriber. Bleh.
Semester's over. Finished the largest collection of prints that I've ever done for a single project. 17 prints, 13x19. I'll be posting some of the digital results in the coming weeks here. I'm not dead; I just had a huge photo project off the web for a bit!
Remodeling my bedroom right now. Painted the ceiling yesterday. Sucked. I got paint in my eye. Hopefully, painting the wall will be better. Steve (the house's resident contractor/computer whiz) needs to
Nuuu! o_o! [insert dramatic sobbing here]
My paid account is deeeeeaad!! My * is gone! I'm a ~ again! I was a * for so long... :: sniffles:: It's going to take awhile to get used to the ~, but that's alright. I've been so damn busy lately that a * would be wasted.
Busy. Looking for a job (still don't have one. I've got 0 monies coming in and am now running completely on parental fundage until I get someone to hire me... somewhere. Applied for 10 jobs so far. We'll see what happens). Getting ready to go to court with my landlords if I have to. Our house is shitty and we're sick of it. I may have just moved in, but one of my housemates has been fighting this since December, so we're g
Life right now...
It's kind of stupid.
Grandpa's in the hospital down in Arizona. He's been calling mom and my uncle for the past few days, acting melodramatically about how he's going to die. Mom told me nonchalantly tonight that he has congestive heart failure and reoccurring cancerous bladder polyps. Apparently he's had both for quite awhile. Thanks for that sudden and well-timed update, woman! Sheesh.
Along similar lines, a good friend of mine has precancerous cells on her cervix. She just went to the gyno for a biopsy and discovered that said bizarre cell mass is larger than the head of a gynecological q-tip. Fun stuff that is.
On the way down to Minne

it'd be sad to see you fall completely off DA. I agree that many aspects have become lame - but there are still a bunch of great artists that hang out here, and when I have time to browse I always find things that are cool or interest me. Yes, the percentage of lameness is climbing, but that doesn't mean you need to stop looking at the good.
As for no new stuff - sad for me, since I *like* seeing your new stuff, but since you're doing more and more in RL, I understand if its another time drain. Just really happy that you're continuing with the photography and showing your stuff of *somewhere* ... like China
