Also, I got one of these drawing blogs. I am not sure I'm crazy about it, but playing with it is giving me ideas about how to improve it. I've just done a couple self-portraits. You can't friend people on it, which kind of sucks.

That brings up a couple of the things I want to talk about today!

1) I want to draw more. I think the drawing blog is a good start, but I want to challenge myself to draw every day. Even if it is just a sketch. twowishesleft suggested this as a new year's resolution for me, and I feel like the only way I will ever improve is to draw daily.

Today, I drew three pictures in the drawing blog. I feel this is a good start.

2) I would like a tablet. I have not had a tablet since college, and I really feel like it would not necessarily improve my art, but make me draw more if I had one. And experiment with more styles. The people on my flist who have tablets: would people mind throwing out recommendations? Does anyone have a tablet PC? How do you like those? Some of them are so inexpensive that I'm almost thinking it would be more worthwhile to get the tablet PC than to get a tablet.

3) Yesterday, I got to meet ninepointfivemm and flameth and another one of their friends! We went to the museum along with cacophonesque, got pizza at Patsy's, and went to H&M which is full of Chuck's clothing from Pushing Daisies, before I had to run to have dinner with my parents. Which was also good! But I sort of felt bad that I had to run away.

4) Also in the spirit of drawing more, kikithepirate did a meme thing that involved her asking people to ask questions that she would answer in video form. I would like to ask you all to ask me questions that I will answer in drawing form. Yes? Yes.

5) Work is exciting and hard!

6) I think that is all I have to say right now. Let me leave off with more automatic writing. I like the automatic writing, it is excellent for meditation purposes.

7) Oh wait! It's not. Also on the drawing front, I am looking for resources to improve my skills with perspective and with drapery. I really like good drawing books or exercises if you think there are exercises that helped any of you!

So, lunylucy did an automatic writing assignment for class and I decided to do some automatic writing of my own this evening.

( 1002 words of nonsense...or is it? )

I realized about halfway through Lost that I had forgotten to liveblog. Oh well! I liked it, although this OMG WE WILL REVEAL ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE OCEANIC SIX gimmick is kind of lame. One of the things I do like about the show is that no one can really be pegged as all bad or all good.

I have news of a personal nature which I will post the next time I post a locked post, because it concerns a family member who has not told everyone in his immediate life yet. But it is good news, very good news.

You are all awesome people. I have not been as good a commenter lately as I should be, and rotae made me smile today by including me on her list of 20 people and I just got a tickle out of that, but I started to do it and can't pick just 20 so no list. Just, you are all awesome. Congratulations, coldwriter on your book; captain_hat, your comic is awesome, emmiiiie, things totally get better and people stop being petty jerks, mel06, I got a kick out of your voting post, cinediva, that spindle is hot. If I forgot to comment on something important, or missed it completely, pretend I commented because I really would have liked to.

I have been writing song lyrics again for the first time in a long time. They're just bits and pieces of things, and I sort of wish I played an instrument well enough to record some of them for you to hear without them just being a cappella.

Now I am sleepy. Nighty-night!

I had turkey and milk for lunch. I am falling asleep from the Tryptophan.

Seriously. I almost just fell asleep at my boss' desk.

Augh.

Also, I would like to inform you all that T-Mobile is evil and requires innocent little art-nerd companies like ours to drown the text messages we send in all kinds of disclaimers that aren't even true. I want them to go away :-( I want my text messages to be all free and happy and full of rainbows.

What else? Hmm. Um. OH! Okay, so:

Pirates Service Announcement

They are having shows before midnight on Thursday! They have one at 8 but liret doesn't think she can get in by then so I bought tickets for the one at 11:35 pm. Tickets are paid for, they were $12 each, but $1 of that was me being lazy and booking online, so you guys can give me $11 each. I have four, if anyone else wants to come, just buy a ticket for the 42 Street Regal E-Walk Theater showing at 11:35 on May 24th. They sell them on Fandango.

ETA: TICKETS ACHIEVED.

.....zzzzZZzzzzZzzZzzzzzzZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzZzZz....

You know how I said I did automatic writing on the subway the other day?

( here it is! )

That was when the subway stopped! And there ends the train (pun so totally not intended) of thought.

Hahaha I think I am making no sense. Sleepy.
