i have been fighting a bad cold all week... every time i sit down with my paints... i just sort of go... eh... who cares... and watch a movie and go to sleep. yes, my week has been that kind of fun! last night i played around with some water colors for a while... i realized i need to buy some lights. there are no lights in the room i paint in... i have 2 ikea floor lamps with huge bulbs in them that i point in my general direction. but, i always paint at night... uhm... why haven't i thought of this before? time to invest in lighting.
i am looking forward to a lot of things right now- the first being the promise of beautiful weather in the coming week! deep breaths... long strides!... no scarf?! also, my friend Kristina Perkins has an opening on Saturday night....you should really read this blurb about it... http://blogs.citypages.com/dressingroom/2011/03/kristina_perkins_greyhound_bus.php
and, well, she's just an awesome lady! so come to the show!
i'm also finishing up my book "packing for mars" by mary roach. i am really enjoying it. i have been wanting to join a book club for a long time... but was never that interested in most of the titles... so, i started my own. problem solved. i love learning silly facts... like this one... astronauts have a sipping straw in their space suits... kinda like the ones hampsters drink out of... well, they also have a clip inside their suits that holds the astronaut equivalent of a fruit roll-up bar... for snacking... but, the sippy straws would always drip on the fruit bars... and would smear all over their faces... so they stopped clipping them in their suits.
