Finished the sketchbook!

Painted 2 awesome Lady Gaga T-shirts and discovered that I could scan my T-shirts instead of photographing them.

Finished the sketchbook! Sarah's chest scan turned out to be costochondritis (which sounds insane, but could have been way worse). Learnt about my gran's New Year's Day altercation. Looking for a big dog and a new phone for them now. Downloaded Terry Pratchett to my *Kindle* - Mort and Wyrd Sisters.

no, no, N. O. NO

Quit the WSO before I even started. Feel better though. In fact, saying no to a lot of things this week, including a 3-day contract in Staines, despite wanting a goPro and NYC spending money. Thursday was a phenomenally good day with everything just going right. Played the lotto ;-) Got the job on Friday anyway, but working from home :)

Best Friday night in months

'Painting' a NYC street scene and added it to blogger. Forgot Vida's birthday. Started using Google 3D Sketchup...

Lost my sketchbook - not sure it will be ready for the sketchbook project!

Best Friday night in months.

LEE : Teacher? SHAOLIN ABBOTT : I see your talents have gone beyond the mere physical level. Your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight. I have several questions. What is the highest technique you hope to achieve? LEE : To have no technique. SHAOLIN ABBOTT : Very good. What are your thoughts when facing an opponent? LEE : There is no opponent. SHAOLIN ABBOTT : And why is that ? LEE : Because the word "I" does not exist. SHAOLIN ABBOTT : So, continue..

LEE : A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself. SHAOLIN ABBOTT : Now, you must remember: the enemy has only images and illusions behind which he hides his true motives. Destroy the image and you will break the enemy.

Addicted to the Sims again

Lots of freelance work. Found Sims for iPhone in App Store - addicted. Late Christmas with the inlaws. Designed a snowboard jacket angel and tailored my jacket to my new size :)
