Epic song & dance scene in first half : drumming, flirting, & swirling
It being the end of year and all, I'm pushing myself way too hard to be productive and creative. Over the weekend I had a prepared list of things I wanted to get done in December and set about making some strides.
I took a large bag of stuff to SCRAP on Saturday and again yesterday; it turns out the bus stops right around the corner so I'll be going again this week! I did a lot of laundry and I'm still not done for some reason. I packed a box with old computer discs to take to the basement. Mended some clothes. Made a pile for the donation truck. Returned library books. Shopped for groceries. Picked a paint color for the hallway. Did some holiday decorating. Cleaned lump of rotten pumpkin off the front walkway. I worked on a painting I've been doing for several months and that's almost done. On Saturday night I hosted a small gathering of my friends who have been meeting for years to watch Dynasty and work on craft projects.
One thing I brought to SCRAP was this wooden tree I made many years ago.
For a few years I worked at a construction company doing drafting and programming of their laser cutter. I modified an existing pattern to make these miniature tree parts, as a party favor for an open house event. I kept it these last seven years because it was something from that time that I helped make and was could bring home. But, whenever I saw it, it reminded me of my crappy boss his verbal harrassment of me every day we worked together, over a year. So much has changed since then and I've had lot of good memories and job experience since, but when a little wooden tree keeps sparking lame shit, it's time to say goodbye. Now someone who doesn't have any of those associations can decorate these pieces and make something good.

Awright, in other happier news I've just about finished another painting and my new comic is going to be in the upcoming VisionQuest! Also, a Twilight Rummage Sale is happening early this month, on the 9th. Things are pretty great, seasonal affective disorder notwithstanding.
