Remember a while back when I said I would be using this blog again? Apparently, I lied.

I’ve had chasethestars as an alias for 10 years, since I bought the domain in July 2002. But I’ve been keeping a public online journal (now “blog”) for even longer. It’s been 14 years. I don’t need to share every major and minor moment of my life with the internet anymore, it’s time to move on. From now on, I’m just going to focus on specific project blogs.

Saturday: 8 mile hike on Sweeney Ridge. Sunday: 7 mile walk down a scenic memory lane in Alameda. Surprisingly, my legs are still not in pain.

I’m pretty happy with the way my first photo book turned out. I see more photo-booking in my future.

hello.

I am going to start using this blog again. I’ve reblogged content from staceyinsketches (now renamed to less365in2012) here, and will be leaving that as just a Less365 blog.

Went for a mini hike this morning. The most difficult part was the uphill from West Portal station to the start of the trailhead because Rich hates Muni buses. According to Fitbit, that was the equivalent of going up 28 flights of stairs.

I am still 11 days behind on my Less 365 project. Most of it is due to long hours and overall exhaustion, and the rest because I’ve been playing Draw Something. Here are some of my better ones.

(I’ll be 14 more days behind since I’ll be going on vacation tomorrow.)

You know how some games have a difficulty setting? I need one that compensates for my inability to triple jump or land in the right spot. I think at least a third of my play time so far has been redoing parts of the level because I keep falling into a pretty mess of butterflies. This is why I prefer RPGs.

We had a visiting Brit today, which means a day of bar hopping (Lower Haight -> Union Square -> SoMa). I thought I would try an experiment of sketching each drink I had as I drank it, with each drawing ending up progressively sloppier. This is the result. I didn’t actually have that many; next time I should draw the boys’ drinks.

I signed up for The Sketchbook Project early this year, with the intent of finishing well before the deadline of January 31st. I received my book in July and procrastinated until December before even starting it, with a different concept than my original vision. I could have finished the remaining pages before mailing it back last week, but fell behind when other activities consumed my time. Still, I did make more progress than last year. Next year will be the year I fully finish a sketchbook.

A week and a half ago, I donated blood for the first time. It didn’t go so well… I was so tense, especially when the tube was over my arm and I could feel my warm blood rushing through it. Then it stopped. There was a clot in my vein and blood wasn’t coming out of it anymore. The technician kept jabbing the needle around, trying to get more, but all it resulted in is a fat bruise that still hasn’t healed yet. All I donated was half a pint of blood. I want to help save a life, but I’m not sure I could do this again.

On my birthday last year, I started taking one photo every day. Ok, so I missed some days and made up for it with multiple photos on other days, but still. Yesterday was the 365th, the end of a year of photos.

Quick bday sketch. Celebrated with friends on MLK Monday with sushi, a birthday shooter (in lieu of bottomless mimosas), and chocolate mousse cake; mani/pedi; and more drinks later. Then today with work at lunch; and with Rich tonight, continuing our prefixe birthday dinner tradition.

Moved to staceyinsketches.tumblr.com!

I’ve started a new Tumblr. This one will no longer be updated. Please follow me at staceyinsketches instead.

Tumblr doesn’t allow switching a new blog to be the primary though, so I believe that any notes I leave you will still appear as chasethestars.
