Free time? What?
Apparently I haven't updated in 13 weeks. That's what the Livejournal "nudge" the Adrianna sent me said, anyway. I wasn't aware that LJ came with that sort of nagging capabilities.
I kid.
So yeah, it's been a while. School + work + homework = death. I'm sure you know how it is. And now that it's finals "crunch time" I'm basically spending every moment of spare time either a) huffing oil paint or b) drawing hands. Fun fun fun!
Tomorrow is easter and my family is gathering. It'll be good to see everyone, although it's really depressing to know that my little brother will be spending easter and his 19th birthday in jail. I really hope this smacks some sense into the kid. I had a dream last night that I was in jail, except instead of cells they put you in these stacked locker things. Like gym lockers. Awesome. It was really confusing because I think I was jail for, like, not paying a parking ticket or something.
Any family gathering also comes with the inevitable food awkwardness, which is of course always a boatload of fun. I am a vegan in a family of meat-eaters. Some of them even hunt. And eat veal. Luckily we're having this shindig at my sister Molly's house, and she's recently gotten into organic/whole foods so she at least knows what I do and don't eat. She even mentioned getting a vegan cake, which would be freaking amazing... but we'll see. I made peanut butter eggs to take with, so if nothing else I can eat those. I'm going to take the extra into school on Tuesday to help alleviate the tedious dual-class critique. It's good to have a snack for those things.
A Comcast guy was here this morning to fix our modem, except it only kind of got fixed. We had to take the air conditioner out of the window, and there was a bird's nest in the windowsill. It was empty, of course, but how cute is that? I took pictures but I'm too lazy to mess with them right now. The cat scared the crap out of us by getting up on the open THIRD FLOOR windowsill when we weren't looking and sticking half of her body out. Apparently she's suicidal.
Anyway. Back to painting.
