el vaiven de ruedas

I took Rhianna (my kid) and Jonysah (her bff) rollerskating tonight.
We LOVE rollerskating!

The job interview went well.

Before the interview, I met with the totally cool, art teacher, dominicana, gothy, hip chick I took out on New Years for coffee, and to discuss my assisting her in building a website to display her art.

Somebody just called about the room to rent.

I have work to do, now...Three projects, in fact.

Perhaps we've passed the nadir on the wheel of fortune.

But I'm tired, and that work will wait until tomorrow, I believe....

Job Interview!

I have a job interview at 3pm today with the So. CT Hebrew Academy in Orange, CT, for a position teaching 7th and 8th grade Language Arts and History, part time.

I'm excited!

For those who don't know, I taught 7th and 8th grade in CT public schools prior to becoming a translator.

Wish me luck!

Or, perhaps, Lachaim!

be well,

tony

Portraits


I thought I'd share my latest painting with you.
You can view many, many more, portraits, fantasy images, nudes and figures, religious art, etc., at photodharma.com.
This painting is a portrait of Reeja, a model I met on DeviantArt.com.
Incidentally, if you would like me to paint a portrait of you, or someone you love, etc., I can do that. In fact, at the moment I am offering to paint portraits for FREE, just to have some new subjects and build up my portrait portfolio.
More info at the portrait page on photodharma.com, where you can also see other examples of my work, of course.

Lj friends, say hi...

If you're an LJ friend and you've just wandered over, and you have a blogspot, let me know...I will add you to the blogs I am following. I think that will work like the LJ friend's page, after all.

perhaps

I may begin to actually post here...I haven't decided.
I have heard rumors that LiveJournal, may be on the path of the dodo. I have maintained two blogs there (photodharma-art/photos/poetry, etc/, and tonytraductor - translation, hacking, etc.) for some time, but, I am considering consolidating all of my blogging on one blog...Why not?
All of my art, photos, software hacking adventures, and adventures in the translation industry.
I will either do so here, or at the new xanga acct I just opened, IF, and only if, LJ truly buys the farm, which I am hoping does not happen...
Although consolidating all of my blogging in one place does make sense to me, even though I am likely to post on such a broad range of topics...paintings one day, thoughs on open source/free software, open file formats, poems another day, thoughs on buddhism, or politics, or food, or Rock en EspaƱol...anything.
All in one place.
Xanga.com does look pretty cool, and seems to have a bit more of the community building spirit that LiveJournal has, but, I have to confess blogspot has been around for a while, and is also a valid blogging tool.
I just wish it had "friends' page" like LJ has, so one could add one's friends to a list and read them all from one page...
Whaddaya think?

ciao,
tony
