I heart Jon Stewart

It is almost enough for me to get a TV - just to get me through the election at least. Just when you feel like the entire world is CRAZY, he finds a good way of summing it up. Thank you, Jon!

An explanation?

There are a zillion reasons this video makes me happy. But I’m not sure I’ll go into them…

Onions.

I drew these while watching a movie the other night. I was TIRED and uninspired, and had no desire to draw, but… homework is homework. So I flipped through some food porn until I found something relatively undaunting. But of course, as soon as I started drawing, even a pile of onions [...]

A drawing, and a few other bits

It’s true - I like to read my horoscope. It is just way too fun when something rings true, as happened this week, in the Stranger:
“It’s finally the right time for you to hear a piece of advice you weren’t ready for before. If I had told you this any earlier, you would [...]

An interesting experience

My favorite thing to do in the whole world? Music. Singing, in particular. I have also had stage fright my whole life. I’ve chipped away at it over the years - a tiny choir solo, a choir audition, etc, but it has always been taken for granted that I “don’t like to [...]

Reminder to Self: Music counts.

Almost every free moment I have had the past few weeks has been spent in one of two ways: 1) Purging my apartment, getting rid of every single thing that I don’t really, really need. My goal is to be able to see under and around every piece of furniture without having something stashed there, [...]

My blue day, and my latest bird.

These pictures are from Thursday. I’m not sure why I didn’t post them right off the bat.
I’ve been reading a novel that I found in the lobby of my apartment building. It is about a village in England during the Plague. It is dark, doesn’t make for very good bedtime reading, and [...]

First real day of spring (for me, anyway)

I got to go on a mini-bike ride, it was almost warm, and the cherry blossoms were out in full force.
Every year I attempt to take pictures of them, and to paint them, but nothing ever seems to come close to the real deal.
Last night I had the worst insomnia I’ve had for awhile. [...]

Ruby’s paints

So…they’re not MY art supplies, but they got used. I didn’t get a picture of what I did because it irritated me. The picture at the bottom was a picture Ruby drew recently. I LOVE it.

I was going to do some art last night, but two things interfered. 1) It [...]

Moj momak’s cupcake.

This isn’t a use of art supplies, I know. But still. S picked me up at work yesterday, just to give me a ride home. He had also brought me this Trophy Cupcake. He does stuff like this all the time. ALL the time. It’s really no wonder that [...]
