What I've been up to
It's been a long time between drinks, I know.
I've been blogging, as my auto-crossposting WordPress add-on demonstrates. Yeah, sorry, I knid of forgot about that - in case you didn't want to read my metaphysical musings.
I bought my first canvas last week. Painted my first acrylic on canvas yesterday. It turned out exactly the way I saw it in my mind.
The Flame
Yeah, I've started painting. Go easy on me.
I've started drawing strips again (well, I drew one new strip). Posted last week on www.geeksalad.net (go look, I'll wait).
We went to Sydney for Christmas. It was hot, and the kids weren't much fun in an apartment for a week. It was good spending time with the extended family. We then spent four days with my brother on his farm, which was a lot more relaxing. "Go play in the paddocks... on the other side of the hill... no, further!" :-D
Then we came home. I've been working from home since leaving my previous place of employment, and while it has it's advantages, there are certain disadvantages. Like being in each other's pockets 24/7. The study is just off our bedroom, and the door faces the living room (which is semi-open plan). On the trip home, we worked out a new plan, and when we got back we repurposed the rumpus room, and it's now my "studio"
See here (I finally joined the 21st Century and got a Flickr account). In the last picture you'll see a print of this piece of art. $7.50 at the Salvation Army store. Bargain!
I've been going kind of photo-mad over the past few weeks, but my phone had a crappy 1.3MP camera in it, and the photos weren't great. Then 3 sent me a lovely note on my bill telling me that I was eligible for a free handset upgrade. Goodbye SE Z800i 1.3MP, hello SE K800i 3.2MP.
Oh, and I still love coffee.
Life is very sweet at the moment.
