As of late, this song is the only one that get's me through the day. I still wish this album had been made into a movie or stage play. The Decemberists: The Hazards of Love: (The Drowned).

Today is my birthday  and this bit of advice is my gift to myself:

I should probably actually have this shirt made. Now back to watching the Jetsons movie on Netflix!

Bonus points if you can guess which movie that quote comes from. Another: "Forgive a doubting fool...".

I feel like all artists have a guilty drawing pleasure. Mine is fancily dressed characters standing stoically and facing straight ahead.

New self-challenge: one drawing a day, to be coloured later when the mood strikes.

A "drawing" from the year of no drawing.

Inspired by the story of a girl whose improperly packaged, leftover birthday soup ruined her party dress. In an ensuing memo, the restaurant manager scolded his staff but assured them that an apology had been delivered, along with gift certificates. He was sure that the girl and her family would remain loyal customers.

I'm sure that they wouldn't.

Things like that stay with you.

Paint and yarn on a canvas dress. It's wearable, for someone small enough.

So, Matilda's strong young mind continued to grow; nurtured by all those authors who'd sent their books out into the world. Like ships onto the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: "you are not alone."

As I sort through my possessions, struggling with attachment to personified objects and guilt, I should remember that I'm not saying goodbye; I'm sending these things out into the world, to be enjoyed by someone else who will, hopefully, be as influenced by them as I have been.

Almost everything I've learned about life and love, I've learned from watching movies. I feel like the Cableguy, my sense of reality warped by Hollywood writers. Well, Hollywood lied to me. Real life is not a movie. There is no universal set of rules to follow and life does not have a formula. I am in control of myself and my life, I can do what I want to, when I want to. I must follow my intuition, not the opinions of others.

This must be how normal people feel.

*EDIT: I feel like whenever I draw a character smiling, they seem quite smug and the drawing seems dumb to me. Do you think that means something?
