They will not let me have that much overtime unless we were way way busier.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't like my hair right now but I don't know what I want to do to it, so I keep not getting it cut and just being dissatisfied with it. If I wait long enough I'll have more options for what to do with it, but meanwhile it will probably get less flattering and more annoying. Maybe I'll drop in to the place that used to be a bank and says they take walk-ins and see if someone there has an idea.

Wow, Patton was really using Twitter in a big way to make a point. Not sure how I feel about that. but it does fit well into his style of comedy.
ita, I read an article in the New Yorker from the most recent issue. Have you ever been checked or treated for an autoimmune problem? Because some of the symptoms sounded spot-on with some of yours in the article I read.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was that online? Can you give me a link to it?
Who would be looking out for that? An allergist? I have seen one with respect to this stupidity.
One of the books I just bought is TREASURY OF AMERICAN PEN-AND-INK ILLUSTRATION 1881 TO 1938. I want to eat it, not just ingest the style, I need to work through it, identify the pictures that achieve what I want to work on, which s basically this [link] effect (never mind the linework--that is epic and aspirational, but not practical) where he has the darkest plane in the middle of the picture, and that's often where the centre of focus is.

Those skies are stunning in those drawings. Have you seen any Maynard Dixon? He was a brilliant painter of the West, his works have huge masses of sky and clouds.

Very lovely illos, ita. Techniques of dark-over-light that other illustrative disciplines can incorporate, as well.

Ha! No, getting ready to go camping. Our plan was to leave at 11. We have nothing packed or down from the attic. I'm going to say if we leave before 1, it's a win.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sitting in the back yard of a house in Las Vegas, waiting for my friends to wake up. And I think the hair medicine was Rogaine.
A work thing blew up yesterday, and I didn't get the call until it was too late to do anything because we were at the spa. Perfect!
