O the Look
The look,
O the look I get from you,
Could light a candle,
Could sharpen knives.
The look could pop a cork
And curl a ribbon.
Why it would crush ice
Not to mention, freshen up a flower.
O the look I get from you
Makes this party
Perfect.

Well, I got to the doctor’s today, courtesy of my loverly sis (thanks, Kaffy!), and found out I have an ear infection. So I’m on meds now and should be feeling better in a couple of days. I have felt truly worn out these last few days, so that’s a relief.
Consequently, I haven’t spent much time sitting at the computer drawing. So you’re out of luck for tonight, kids!
The psychiatrist reduced my meds too, so that’s good. I’ve been feeling much stronger, mentally and emotionally.
Got to spend time with Isaac today..what a cutie!! He just loves to dance!
Nothing much else to report right now. Mostly been using my down time for rest/sleeping. Hope everyone else out there is well and happy!
I’ll try and update this blog a little more regularly now. It’s about time, eh?!
Well, I suppose I’d better get off my duff and start posting more if I want to inject some life into this blog o mine!
Lets see…what going on with me? Well, Ive got a bad cold, which may or may not turn into a sinus infection. YAY!
Ive been getting outside and walking more, gearing up for October when Ill be back in Australia, walking Gus again! A real YAY!
Im growing weary of the difficulty in drawing with the mouse..Ive done a few drawings that Im not posting because they just arent where I want to be right now. Im going to have to get myself a new sketchbook once Im back home and do my drawing every day like I had been for a while there. I do have some sketchbook drawings that I did over the summer though.
I’m starting to think of the things I want to say at the memorial service for Tammy, which is going to be held at Moore College of Art and Design next month. Its a difficult thing, but I’d regret it if I didnt say a few words to honor her memory. Im also going to make a collage of photographs for her baby daughter, Anna. I havent spoken to Matt, her husband, personally yet, although I did leave a message on his answering machine a couple of months ago and emailed him as well. I dont know what exactly holds me back from talking to him, but I must get over it and call him one of these nights.
I have my next psych appt. on Monday, so hopefully he’ll reduce the meds again. He’s reduced them twice already and I believe I’m doing better because of it. My friends and family can see my improvements too.
Ike is walking around like a little whirling dervish! He’s constantly on the go, which has us all chasing him, and consequently worn out when hes here! I always get a good night’s sleep after he leaves!
I thought I’d do a self portrait today, but I worked from a photograph since I cant prop a mirror up at the computer to draw from. Hope you like it. It’s got that genuine mouse wonkiness that we’ve all come to know as mediocre at best! Well, Ive just got to stop criticizing my work so much and just be content in the knowledge that I’ve come a long way in the few months that I’ve been drawing this way. Maybe because of this hiatus from real sketching, I’ll come back full force with a newish way of looking at things by the end of next month! Can you tell I’m so ready to get back there and do some work?!
Anybody out there have links to cool artsy blogs or sites? I need to find some new ones!
This weekend my lovely friend Janine came down from Syracuse to see me!! YAY!! We finally met up after 6 years of chatting online. We met through the R.E.M. fan chat and soon became fast friends. After several intended times to meet up, we finally managed to pull it off this time! We hung out at the house and had pizza, went to the market and some artsy shops in downtown York on Saturday morning, and last night we went to an Irish pub with Dan and Allison to have a couple of pints. Later we drunkenly talked to Cam on the phone. Tee hee.
Janine is as sweet and funny in person as she is online. It was great fun and I’ll miss you Janine!
Hope you had as good a time as I did!
Here’s to the continuation of a wonderful friendship..”slante!”
