i have spent a decent amount of energy *GASP!* writing. i have been trying to work out a script for my sci fi story. so far it is going well. hope to have something i don’t feel scared to post soon…
in other news, BRUTAL LEGEND and UNCHARTED 2!!!
i drew this for grant.
anne was drawing while i was x box-ing and when i was done she gave up on drawing… but she gave up on the face of this really cute bearded guy. she usually hates everything she draws… so i cleaned it up a little and made him into St Francis holding Bailey.
i am not so sure about you cat.
please don't touch me.
sat down to draw and nothing comes out. ok. some things have come out, but only things i strongly dislike. i think i offended anne when she told me she liked something i drew and i responded with “yeah… I hate it.” she got a little quite.
when i don’t like a drawing it’s visceral. it’s gut wrenching. it’s deep and painful. i feel like my hands and brain are betraying me… like the faithful dog that is my creativity has bitten me. it’s not so fun. i’m just feeling drained enough to not be creative.
i am looking forward to our week off, the beginning of October. (ps why does “beginning” double it’s “n”?) anne’s folks are coming and they are pretty low key. but i am worried because the new store manager starts and we miss her first week. *sigh* maybe i worry too much.
i decided to call it quits after sitting in front of the computer for an hour producing nothing but trash. so i am off to bed.
in good news: my Giants won. go BIG BLUE.
just ate some delicious NACHOS! from our favorite mexican food place in the city, El Brazero. so damn good. it was my reward to myself after spending the whole day (or about 9 hours of it) painting the dining room a nice shade of green. it looks so handsome. usually i am a person where when i paint, be it a room or canvas, i usually hate it the minute i dip the brush in the paint. but this green looks AWESOME. anne did a really good job picking it out. it looks all formal and makes her Robin Hood-centric bookcase look all classy.
i was told by my boss, anne, that i don’t have to draw tonight because i spent all day painting. i appreciate that but still feel i should contribute something to the blog besides a couple hundred words. so i drew this:
painting is not so bad.
so now it is onto the three other remaining rooms. hallway, living room and bedroom. none of the colors we have picked for those rooms are right. i think we need to aim lighter. maybe like a apricot? or a peach? i dunno. i just know i love the dining room and that painting a ROOM is a lot less crappy than painting a kitchen or a bathroom. fear made me put it off.
it was actually really nice today. it didn’t get too warm. i had the house to myself (anne was a trooper and went in to cover lunches at work). listened to some music and stayed pretty focused all day. the thing that shocked me the most was how grown up my stuff looks in a room where i helped choose the paint color because it matched other things. plus anne has this great French Robin Hood poster, it’s like 4′x5′, bill got it for her for her birthday. it’s got a little yellow orange in it, so it looks great against the green and it ties into the kitchen. Something about “ARROWS, KARATE and BEANS!” who knows what that means in the context of Robin Hood… but it’s got a lady bitch-slappin’ another lady and Robin jumpin’… so i’m happy.
well. i will draw something better tomorrow. or at least something bigger or more interesting. night folks.
