"Do you like Smashing Pumpkins?" "Oh, I LOVE doing that!"
Yesterday I was debating what to do with myself. I was aware that art's been rocky for me lately. Hard to get into, and even my styles are hard to do right now.
I figured to go back to mah'roots. That is, when I was most artistically active on the fronts I WANT to be active on, I was also in art classes and painting and doing other such projects, challenging myself with new things...
Alright, so maybe I need to challenge my brain to do some painting. My favorite of such was watercolor with white/black tempera. And honestly, I never really wanted to stop painting, it just sorta happened. Time to get what I need...
I picked up some watercolor paints, some thick poster paper, a big ruler, board cutter... No tempera paint. Dagnabbit. Oh well, the business supply store has it.
Today, went out there. ...shelf is empty. Okay... Find it on a "special offer" (clearance, maybe?) shelf. Black only. Okay... Ask an employee. One bottle of white left! Snag. Buy. Leave.
Stopped at the thrift shop on the way home. Found a glass Batman mug (Batman Forever movie collectable). They also had Robin and Riddler, so I picked up all three (eh, why not). Plus a cat-shaped cutting board (dicing turtle food up here will no longer be a bother!)...
While I was checking out, there was a rack of CD's. I figured to thumb through it just to humor myself. It'd be grand if I found some Smashing Pumpkins. Of course, 3 dollar CD's...all you're gonna find is junk in there, and... *finds Smashing Pumpkins: Pisces Iscariot in the back* ...Okay, forget I said that. *buy*
PUMPKINS! o_o *smash*
