Almost Here

This is a "test patch" for using gouache. It is pulled from the least tasteless of the buildingheads drawings in my sketchbook. The other ones had airplanes stuck in them, like a toy arrow. If I were to put that on the internet, a bunch of nuts out there would accuse me of being tasteless.

Sara has come and gone, like the cool breeze she is. Her visit was worrying me more than I would have thought. You see, I really wanted to hang out and get drunk with her and Marigold, just like all the old, fun times. But I also needed to get a fair amount of work done for my soon to be finished classes. In a miracle of science, I was able to do both. Not only did we see and do just about everything we could have, (Marigold did a smash up job portraying it here) but I was also able to use the weekend as it was designed -- to catch up on overdue projects. Now, my research paper (which steams like hot shit, it's so good) and personal journals are officially scratched off the to-do list. I have one more project for each of my two Illustration classes to complete, but I laugh in the face of such petty tasks. Ha!

I can hardly believe that I will get almost five weeks to sit on my ass, if I so chose. Although, I'm sure that there will be plenty of that going on, I really would like to get some personal projects started and finished. You know how I am without deadlines though. You also know how I am with Christmas shopping. Let's not talk about Christmas shopping.
