Stuff

It's a really great Fall day.
It starting to feel like fall more and more everyday and I love it.

I'm listening to Death Cab's Transactlanticism album and it's really bringing back memories of this time 4 years ago. Was it four years ago? I don't know...but I bought this album in the fall a few years ago, and it's reminding me of that time in my life...

There's things I miss, and things I don't. People I miss, and people I don't...

It's funny how certain smells and music can be so...memory inducing :)

Anyway, got a lot of work done today, and I want to get some more done.
The self portraits are slow going. Oh well, I don't want to rush them.

I mostly worked on a commission piece and put some finishing touches on somethings.
Yup.
I think I am going to make some tea, and get some more work done.
Happy Monday.

ps. Kim, don't freak out.
Remember to go for your walks :)
Love you.

Friday!

Ok nothing exciting happened at all today.

Aside from a random guy down the street asking me to have lunch with him, and an impromptu dance party with Michael (music courtesy of Megan Chapman's myspace play list) nothing remotely exciting happened.

That being said.

Have a great weekend! :)

8:30 on a Sunday Night

So...it's Sunday.

My four days of solitude are up!
I had a good time. I handled it very well. It's funny...Michael went to China for 1o days 2 years ago, and I thought I was going to fall apart. My poor room mates didn't know what to do with me...
I think having to work at a crummy job didn't make my situation any better either.

It's nice to see how much I have grown. I think I called him...maybe once? Twice? I don't know.
Yay! I am all grown up :)

So it was really nice spending time alone. I got some work done. Not as much as I would have liked, but you know...that's the way creativity works sometimes.

I'd like to say a big thanks to Megan Chapman! I listened to her play list on her myspace the last two days. It's awesome. I really needed some new music, and I really enjoyed it. I also got a very good mixed cd from a fellow Etisan and I have been listening to that quite a bit :)

I was going to write a blog about music, and how important it is to me and my work, but I didn't really feel like writing a small novel tonight, so maybe some other blog. I will say that music is really important to me. I don't have a television, or even a radio, and I have to have some kind of noise in the house while I am working. So music is played all day. All day...so most of the music I have is memorized to the point where all I have to hear is the first few notes and I can tell you what artist and what song. If they still had Name That Tune on TV I would be a champ!

So that was my weekend. It was good.

I have been trying to draw/paint something for the last 3 hours. Nothing is happening.
It's so frustrating. I just want to get something. Anything. Done. I feel like I haven't really made anything for the last week.

I know.
Maybe I should take a break...but I am in that mind set where I want to work. I want to make something. But nothing is happening. It is so frustrating.

My drawings all look like poop.
The gouache is misbehaving. I need a new play list. Blerg.

Alright.
I gotta do something........................
