What I did last night (super-bonus post)

Between 8pm and 2:30am last night I did the following:Took several pictures of my Rhodes and various other things:

Finished the sketch of the next numbers I want to paint, which I have been wrestling with for a solid week. This is a task that would undoubtedly be better accomplished in Illustrator if I a) had a copy, and b) knew how to use it. Barring that, I use a pencil and paper. Anyway, I like it now.

Drove to one Kinkos to make copies, realized it wasn't open, and drove to another one, where I performed the elaborate task of enlarging this sketch and piecing the copies together.

Stopped by the grocery store, where I picked up a sandwich and an enormous chocolate bar. Ate half the sandwich and all of the chocolate while getting out my paints.

Cut out the numbers, taped them to the canvas, taped around them, and outlined that in black paint.

While waiting for the paint to dry, played dress-up. Put on these things:- Color-block dress with a cowl neck- Weird green-grey fedora- Leather/stone necklace from street vendor in Prague- Matching leather cuff bracelet that I bought one year earlier from the same street vendor in Prague- Boots with purple contrast inside, styled kinda weird

Played with makeup, too.Taped up the numbers once the paint was dry. Now the canvas is fully prepped and ready for me to get working on it.

Decided I wasn't done playing dress-up:- What's now a pencil skirt with a kick pleat, remade from a skirt I got for like $4 at Target- Brown & white tie-front silk top that reminds me of that dress from Pretty Woman- Speaking of Pretty Woman, very provocative shoes- Safety-pin necklace I made- Big ring made from a kit I got in Paris- Absolutely ridiculous hoodie sweatshirt from Tokyo

And then I went to sleep.
