*hiss*

Slept in again. Fuuuuuuuuck!

I feel about as much like working as I do like running a marathon, but needs must.

Gonna have a couple of cups of coffee and some peanut butter toast and see if this improves my mood. Hrmph.

Breaktime!

Taking a break from art to do my step exercises (bleaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhh! *cough*) and have something to eat. I haven't gotten a lot of painting done on Joe, just some background textures, color holds, and production work with the word balloons and captions. In short, it feels like I've accomplished nothing, and I HATE that.

Will fire up the studio altar when I get back, say a quick prayer, and light a candle for strength and creativity.

Perhaps I'll take a "break" and do Hardy Boys flats for a while. Ye Gods... it's a wonderful profession, but sometimes I feel like banging my head against the wall repeatedly under the stress.

On a different note, started (re)reading I, Claudius last night. Wonderful book. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

Things to feel good about

1) I did quite a bit on Joe in the Future today. This will really help get the job back on schedule.

2) Chose to do half of my regular step exercise and then explore another section of the Kathy Smith video: the upper body section, which included push-ups and other exercises to strengthen and shape. Also looked at the lower body section, which I want to try part of tomorrow.

3) The Rocky Horror Picture Show in on Drive-In Classics. *grin* I'd forgotten what wonderful cheese it is.

4) DegSep is going well, and the AI RP will be restarting next weekend. I'm proud of them both.

Off to bed soon, I think. We have a company coming by tomorrow to pick up some dead monitors and a couple of boxes of computer parts, so I'll have to be up fairly early.

And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects, called the human race:
Lost in time, and lost in space
And meaning.
