Yesterday I picked up the ol' paintbrush and did some art. It was very refreshing. I started with a fan pic of Death from Sandman, since I was reading the Sandman Companion and thinking and wanting...so I painted extreme close-up of Death.
It's OK. Then I picked up a much larger bit of canvas and painted my Buffy game character Joanna. The body and clothes and hair came out very nicely, but I need to go back and re-work the face, so it doesn't look quite so 2d. I also have a bunch of background that needs something. I am very happy with the way it came out though. I feel smart and skilled. Hurrah!
In other news Lee has decided to go on the uber-road trip with Giffy. This has put my stomach into butterfly frenzy. Not because of him being away from me, not because of him going away with girls who are not me, but because it means for like, ten days I won't see him. I'll be at the back all next week, but he won't get back until the 20th. I'll have nearly a whole week of apartment to myself. I'm only working a coupla days that week too.
So.
I'll be able to do whatever the Hell I want. I'm thinking pizza for dinner every night and sims 2 24/7!
No, seriously it'll give me a great opportunity to get some writing done, and some scrapbooking and some more painting. Plus I can see my folks and go to movies he doesn't want to see, and go to the art gallery and Te Papa and ooh! It's just too exciting!
I will also be very lonely without him so those with school holidays and such are encouraged to visit me in those times. If any of the above activities sound fun to you, please comment and let me know, we can plan!
