The banner about maintenance tonight is giving me terrible anxiety. I've turned if off but I still know it's there and I don't like it.
I wasn't going to do it but I watched S1 E01 of Teen Wolf. I already want to bite Derek. It's early days but I think I like it.
The sun was out today. I'd forgotten how seriously Morlock I get during the winter. I could feel my Eloi self rising to the surface in the sunlight and it was glorious. It's going to rain tomorrow but I feel better than I have done in ages. Makes me realise that I should stop talking about moving to a warmer climate and just find a way to bloody do it before I die of old age in the dark and cold...which is an actual thing that could happen in the not too distant future.
It makes me seriously cross seeing painters and painting portrayed on film or tv, primarily because of the dabbing (don't fucking dab at it, use the friggin' brush, dammit!) but also because of the face smear. Everyone who paints on film gets an aesthetically pleasing smear of paint on their cheek, thus illustrating their free spirited, bohemian approach to life and art.
Every day I paint and almost everyday I get a paint smear on my face.
About 10% of the time it's a mono brow, a thick line of ick from one brow to the other, and the other 90% it's a Hitler moustache. Quite often in blue regardless of what colour I've been painting in. I often think that my most valuable piece of painting equipment is the mirror by my front door that has saved me from walking around outside with an offensive upper lip too many times to mention.
I'm trying so hard to not get spoiled for the show tomorrow...I can't wait : ) x

"No, Jeff, just white."
"Aw, come on, I bet someone would get a kick out of it!"
"Jeff, this is already a marketing nightmare without making the packaging green!" x
