I am such a news junkie. I keep checking to see if they've caught the shooter in Moncton.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At least I'm in great company.

No pun intended?

Yeah. I get you though. Welcome to the club...sorry about that.

Unrelatedly, I know I bought Burne Hogarth's Drawing Dynamic Hands. I'm super sure, because I even have some sketches I've done from it. But I cannot find it anywhere in the tip that my apartment kinda is right now.

When I googled it a few days ago to evaluate buying it again (I have hand drawing issues that drive me nuts), the third link was a PDF download. And I did. And I printed all 15MB. I can't work out if I feel bad--but I do have the conviction that I bought the book once and I shouldn't have to again, especially since I'll probably find it before I get a new job. This isn't the bookseller's conviction, I know, but it's hard to shake.

I keep looking at the clipboard with the printed pages like they're going to burn me. I should just get off my ass and improve drawing hands.

I feel that maybe I can distract myself from my current sitch by drawing lots of porn, and that's so much better with expressive hands, you know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Calli! Sorry.

ita, you're reminding me of Roy Krenkel. He'd get obsessed about some particular detail, look for artists he thought did it well, then draw sketch after sketch. Once it was wagon wheels. "These are all wrong. Remington! Now he could draws wagon wheels!"

Because books.

There's another shooter? Ugh.

I fully support ita drawing all the porn, for the time being anyway.

Calli, I'm so sorry!

The usual heavily armed disaffected young white male opened fire on RCMP officers in Moncton, N.B., killing three and injuring two more. The city is on virtual lockdown while they search for him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's awful.

Jesus. The world makes me so tired.

Wait, was that happening this morning? I seem to recall something about Moncton. Ugh, the world.

The shootings were last evening.
