It's cold wet and rainy outside. I have not been outside since Friday. Right now I'm battling a cold. I hate this time of year. I never know if I should dress warmly like it's winter or dress like it's spring. Last Fall I caught a major cold. It was the earliest I had ever got sick since childhood. It was mid October and I was sick as a dog. In a since it's kind of ironic because I've always liked the Fall and Spring but lately they've turned into hotbeds of illness for me. Oh well, I feel a sneeze coming on.....

In case anyone is wondering, I did have Orange Chicken for dinner on Friday, it was wonderful. :) Also in case no one has noticed I updated my website which is called, The Art of GJ Willis. Basically, I added three new links to my front page and changed the photo of me to a painting I rendered using Classic Painter. I changed the photo because it's no longer reflective of how I currently look. I have'nt worn my hair in a ponytail in years. I currently wear my hair natural in either twists or untwisted twists. The look on my homepage is the untwisted twist look. Anyway, the photo came from my MVA ID card and I never really did like it much except that I was wearing a black t-shirt. I like to wear black a lot. I wasn't wearing makeup in the photo... which is a major misnomer because I like to wear makeup. I was in a rush that day to get to the MVA early to avoid the lines, by any mean neccesary, make-up be damned!! Oddy, enough that picture is my father's favorite picture of me. And, it's also the most recent picture of me that I had around the house. I hate being photographed. I always end up hating the picture. Even if I were by chance photographed with John Cusack, I'd end up hating the photo, but never John Cusack.

I hope to be able to purchase Painter 6.0 or at the very least Painter 5.5 someday . I'm still kind of mad at Meta Creations for abandoning there art software. I also have there Ray's Dream Studio for 3-d Animation software. Now, if only I can somehow figure how to add images I created with that software to my web pages....
