Daily Update

It was supposed to be a happy little stroll around the block. The weather was supposed to be nice, clear and warm. My tummy wasn't supposed to be that hungry either. But then all of a sudden in the middle of my walk, I see tis weird witch lady sprawled out in front of the noodle place by Diddy Reese, and of course I'm staring. I mean really, she was uglier than Medusa. It appears that someone had thrown a large cup of water on her, which was hilarious, but as I got closer I realized that I don't think the large puddle on and beneath her came from any other source than from herself. As I'm next to this 'situation' I decided that she either wet herself, or puked all over. At that point I was so close that her 'ugly' fumes were making my eyes water. She tried to say something to me, but I actually didn't want to turn to stone, so I ran away. I only turned to see if she was following me when I was an entire block away. Around the next turn there was two more bum sightings. Both were stinking up the sidewalk like you wouldn't believe. I kept thinking that they were following me for some reason. It was a close call.

So last night we convened our usual JJCC-Home-Evening event. It was just as splendid as ever. This week's event was held at Chipotle. As we got there, right in front, we ran into Matt and Gleidy. It was funny to see them there, and I asked if they were there to join us for our weekly 'meeting'. They weren't, they were meeting Gleidy's family (which kind of complicated things cause instead of saving us a table, he stood in line with them, with his food, letting every other little high school dweeb take our spots, so we ended up sitting on a bunch of bar stools.

We then wound up over at Jeff's for the 'after hang-out'. We snacked on food from last night, which was good, but very rich in chocolate. I had two bites of this cake he had made, and it was like getting punched in the mouth by Count Choc-u-la. I mean really! then it was like a clay brick as I tried to swallow it. While all that was going on, I had control of the TV tuner, so I was flipping, and flipping, and then stopped on Project Runway. Ohhh, that Heidi Klum is a dream boat. But I made them watch it. It was funny cause after the one episode, they had had more than enough, and were then mad at me for making them sit through it. It was funny.

When I got home I painted for a little bit. My eyes were trying to close the whole time I was sitting there. I was happy with what I accomplished though. The mountains have now sprang up and reached the sky, or the sky has come crashing down on the mountains, depending on which way you want to look at it. The trees were springing to life, the buildings were growing to maturity, and the sea was waving back and forth. I have now covered all the buildings with roofs, trim, and window's for the most part. There was an instance where I had to use my scraper brush to clear a way some past transgressions, and refine some wall-roof-window connections too. It became a bit drastic, but after I started redoing it, it turned out lovely. I'll tell you though, that the more shadow's I add, the better it looks. I'm giving myself another week to finish it (tentatively). But sorry joe and tiff, theres still drying time, framing time, and then shipping time. All necessary evils.

I'm listening to Def Leppard right now.

Lunch was sponsored by Lamonica's NY Pizza. It was a first for me, and I'm sure to go back. It would also be a good place to have one of our popular JJCCHE's.
