I went to visit my high school art teacher today. It was a lot of fun, and she introduced me to a couple new artists. I also asked for her help on my stupid owl and it's dumb feet. She did that, but also gave me a great idea that I think I'm going to use. I won't give it away here, but I'm pretty excited.
I've been working on a scarf that I really like. I basically took a bunch of rolls of yarn and cut long pieces off and tied them together. It's neat.
Last Saturday there was a storm and it rained. It has been in the high 70s to low 80s since then. I am not okay with this.
I'm off to Sacramento this weekend for a cousin's wedding. I can't wait to see the siblings :D

Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.........g
I can't wait until September 16, when I can watch Pushing Daisies whenever I want.
Yeah yeah, I can do that now with the internet, but it's not as fun to watch show in tiny little screens with ads running on the sides. Also, I want to sprawl out on my couch and watch.
Also, I cant stop listening to Radiohead's "House of Cards".
97% done with the owl. I just need to figure out that stupid left foot. Can I hide it behind something? Maybe he is riding a rocking horse.
It's a bit chilly right now. That makes me super happy.
Someone I am friends with on facebook but I really can't stand (don't ask me why we are facebook friends) wrote his status as "so-and-so can touch his toes while only bending at the waist". I really want to write on his wall "Well la-tee-da. Color me not impressed, Bartholomew Bragger. I can do that too, and I'm a fatty!"
Then I realized that is childish. Then I fought back and forth with myself and decided not to do it.

I started a new painting today. BIG MISTAKE.
It was so hot today that the paint would dry mid stroke. Then I would go to get more paint, and that too had dried. Do you understand how much paint I lost today?! Do you?! I would try to go the whole stroke, but I'd end up rubbing off what I had already painted.
I'm a very quick painter. The last painting I did took me an hour and 20 minutes, and that's only because I had to repaint the whole thing when I made a mistake. I'm not used to this slow painting. This is why I've stuck with acrylic! Bah!Uggg... it's so wrong, but I can't fix it.
It's not going to get any cooler this summer, so I guess this painting is going to take forever.
I was also planning on fixing a painting I did earlier this year, but I guess that's being put on hold.
I freaking hate this!!
