thursday's child has made some progress, but still has far to go
i am: taking a break
listening to: pc hum in d minor
drinking: lemonade with a splash of tazo brambleberry herbal infusion (yes, really)
this past week has seemed very busy to me, though i really only did one thing different than what i ordinarily do, which is sit here and work on one project or another, and sometimes one project and another. i'm still concentrating every hour that i'm sitting here working on my calendars, and have made a few changes to the featured images for the months, and both cover images. i thought i'd decided to go with a neutral non-white non-color for the rectangles that hold the days of the week, but once i started putting them in place, i backtracked to my original idea of using a color coordinated to the featured image. i'm still rendering, have been rendering two or three fractals each day. when the one that's rendering now is done, i have two more to render and that lengthy process will finally be done - then i can start assembling all the bits and pieces and then finally upload the images to zazzle.
that thought scares me.
the one thing i did differently this week was quite enjoyable: i met balplatinus, aka as platinus on deviantART, and his friend claire at barnes and noble on tuesday afternoon. as has been the case with everyone else i've met from online, he was exactly who i thought he'd be - genuinely kind, funny, and caring. i had thought that we would probably talk about fractals, fractals and more fractals - but we didn't. we talked about music, and art, and the art festivals he'd just participated in, and well ... i don't really remember what all we talked about, but it was fun and crazy - the time flew. we started off in the coffee shop, drinking designer fruity drinks, then had a thorough wander around the store.
at one point i realized we were making the employees nervous - we had been wandering for well over an hour, after all - so i decided i must make a purchase to alleviate them of their concerns. (actually, if i hadn't made a purchase, it would have been the third time recently that i went home empty-handed from b&n, and that's just not acceptable.) i bought travis and claire recommended books: dragons of autumn twilight, the first in the weis & hickman dragonlance series, wizard's first rule by terry goodkind - a big, fat book that i look forward to delving into - and ender's game by orson scott card on claire's recommendation - and someone else here - either ladytalon or pocket_saviour, or possibly both.
between those, son's tesla biography, and the book janeeyre017sent to me recently, i'm set with new books for quite awhile. hurrah! i was a little bummed that they didn't have any gideon freudmann CDs, though. i was prepared to buy a couple. hmph. and since i think most have not heard of gideon freudman, here's an example of one of his more playful tunes.
and there's a mundane not-so-little update.
today's reading: the aforementioned book sent to me by janeeyre017, a falcon for a queen by catherine gaskin, which i'm flying through. i'll have a grand time deciding which of my new books to read next.
