Climb on two-by-two to ensure these days continue.

This weekend was massively productive. It's amazing what happens when I don't change out of my pj's until three, and I don't bother leaving the house. So, the crack down starts tomorrow. I'm done managing everyone else's interests, I'm going to start taking care of myself. I may be perceived as a bitch, but it wouldn't be the first time.

Goals for the upcoming week:
1. Keep bedroom tidy.[This seems to be a never ending task.Bah]
2. "Don't take nothing from no one!"
3. Produce something.

I think my card making frenzy will continue. I plan to buy some more pencil crayons.
[Aside for a second. It's amazing how much of an art snob I've become. Let me tell you a few things, in case you end up in an art store and you have no idea what you want. When it comes to drawing media go with Faber-Castell. They only make drawing materials, i.e. pencils, crayons, pens, water-soluble pencils, graphite, charcoal, etc. They are a fabulous German company. If you want Acrylic paint, get Golden, it's more expensive, but it's worth the money. If you need watercolors go with Windsor & Newton, they are the oldest of the old. I don't know anything about oil painting, it scares me. One day, I will read a book about it. Paper, paper is a crazy thing.
The most important thing is, Acid Free or Acc. If you want anything to last longer than a year, go with acid free. It helps if the other materials used are artist quality as well. I'm done now!]

So anyway, art snob. I've got all this paint that I swear I'm going to use before I buy some Golden. But seriously, it's amazing how much easier it is to paint with high quality materials. Same with pencil crayons, I have some Prismacolor student grade and some artist Faber-Castell and I can't stand to use the Prismacolor.

So anyway, it's too bad I love parts of my job so much, cause I'd just walk away from all the crap otherwise.

Peace.
