Weird Mood

Yesterday I hissed at one of my coworkers. This isn't quite the norm for me, but it's almost there. Normally, I pick and choose who I hiss at--mainly one of my good friends. Yesterday, though, it just slipped out. Luckily, she's the type to just laugh it off and has probably already forgotten about the whole ordeal. And life moves on.

Above is my first experiment with watercolor. As I said, it's not good, but it was fun just to play around. I felt like a kid fingerpainting for the first time. More will follow, and hopefully the quality will improve--at least slightly.

As for today, I've got loads more of "real" work to finish up, and my workshop materials for residency are almost due, so I'm trying to pull that together. We'll see how everything turns out.

More Gibberish tomorrow.

The Last of the Visits

In a few short hours, I must whisk myself away to the joys of the dentist. It will be my final visit, until my next check-up. It's taken three visits, but my mouth will finally be cavity free. (I could have had more of them filled at my earlier visits, but the cost of those things start to add up rather quickly.)

As for the weekend, not too much happened. There was a pumpkin carving party on Saturday night. I carved me a Skele-Robot, and if I can get a picture of it up here, I will. Otherwise, I'll just add my experiment with watercolors from this weekend. It's not good, but I learned from it, which--until I can take a class--is the only way I will learn anything. The more you try, the more you learn. Or something. I plan on doing a few more trial an error type things, maybe play around more with the whole "When I do this, what does it look like on paper?" style. I'll try and post them as they come, and if anyone has any tips or advice, I'd be much obliged. Of course, this won't start until Wednesday as there is more Gibberish coming tomorrow.

Until then...
