Original title, captivating my motivation at the moment.  At any rate, not a whole lot has been happening as of late.  I have been trying to find some sort of employment in the Redding area, so that my mate and I can get an apartment or some such.  The distance sucks.  Christmas has come and gone.  New year's has come and gone.  Valentine's day has come and gone.  My birthday is fast approaching.  I will be 26.  Unbelievable.  I am currently poking along, working part time for a friend, doing construction stuff.  When it hits me, creativity has been marginal.   In other projects, I finished assembling a fox skeleton, and I am tanning my first skin, a deer hide.  I am doing it fur on, and it is currently in the pickle.  Next will be neutralization, then the tanning, then a lot of elbow grease to get it nice and supple.  Gonna try and work on some arts, now that I have room, again.

till then...
