had to rewrite last week's retro because i was - as i call it - "kicking my own ass" way too hard https://livelaugh.blog/posts/weekly-retro-2025-april-1/
weekly retro: seeing deftones, drawing nudes, and practicing patience with myself - live laugh blog

if i had one piece of advice for everyone, but that i need to take myself, it's *you can acknowledge your weaknesses while also being kind to yourself*. when i started writing this retro, i was not being kind to myself at all; there was a lot of "i need to be more patient" and "i wasted a ton of time"...so dramatic, jennifer jean! i had to step away from the screen and revisit it the morning after.

because i killed him
this weekly retro was both easy and hard to write because i spent most of the week both healing and rotting https://livelaugh.blog/posts/weekly-retro-2025-march-4/
weekly retro: despite the haters (germs) i'm back - live laugh blog

coming off of being pretty sick last week and then continuing to heal from that *whilst* starting my period - yes, that keeps happening for some reason - i was starting to doubt that i had anything to even write about this week. that's when it's time to just start typing what i'm thinking.

i’m not always there when you blog, but i’m always on time - except for last week’s retro because i was sick but here you go https://livelaugh.blog/posts/weekly-retro-2025-march-3/
weekly retro: the one where i got sick - live laugh blog

in my last retro, which i posed *on time* unlike this one I KNOW, i said that the coming week would be a busy one. boy, was it.

turns out i have a lot, but also *so little*, to say about...markers https://livelaugh.blog/posts/trying-to-learn-to-enjoy-markers/
trying to learn to enjoy markers - live laugh blog

happy 311 day. let's (breathtakingly unrelatedly) talk about markers. the first set of markers i ever remember owning and loving were the 'bold' crayola marker 8 count. i was reminded of them this week as i was trying out some markers that came in the latest upcrate box - a subscription i discovered over quarantine and just picked back up after a couple-year hiatus. in my last figure sketch post, i talked about how i don't really like alcohol markers.

i thought this week's retro would not take me long because i mostly did chores all week but a mac update fucked up my photo editing workflow so here i am 3000 hours later https://livelaugh.blog/posts/weekly-retro-2025-march-1/
weekly retro: the one where i have a party and then get mad at my computer - live laugh blog

i had a small, belated birthday gathering last night so, of course, so we split a cannoli at breakfast at 2pm and now i'm Ready To Blog™.

the jersey art book fair is all weekend at mana contemporary and it’s full of unique zines, prints and stickers. i got a couple zines from my alma mater’s bfa program booth. its a gorgeous weekend and worth the trip if you’re near jersey city. grab a coffee and look at some dan flavin installations while you’re there too!
