Abe for Cinco de Mayo

Sooo... this is the painting I created for Molly's documentary. I think it's pretty awesome, but apparently nobody at Balboa Park Sunday morning felt the same way. I did not sell it, as I had hoped, but I'm thinking I might be able to sell/ donate it to The High Dive. They have some silly, kitschy artwork there and for Cinco de Mayo, they are encouraging everyone to come with a mustache. Maybe they will want it. We'll see.

Sleepy time for the furball

The baby is so sleepy! That is how I feel, but I have so many things to do today. Bah.

This amazes me

I am still contemplating what I am going to paint for Molly's project, but I stumbled upon this photo here and the second one here. I am thinking of possibly painting someone who is underwater, because I think it could turn out to be a great picture. Type "person underwater" into your google search box. There are many amazing photos.

Silliness

I found this gem today. For Molly's project where she documents myself, along with 2 other human beings, doing something I want to do before I die, I am making a painting to try to sell.* I'm still trying to figure out what I want to paint, but I think I might want to paint Obama. I love him and I think it would be fun to paint his face! However, while I was perusing the web, I found this picture. So hilarious!

High Diving

This week, the High Dive group consisted of just Jaymi and I. We celebrated the fact that I got 100% on an Essay for my Mark Twain class by drinking four beers. It was an excellent time and we found out that if we bring our own container, they will fill it up with the delicious gorg sauce that we consume gallons at a time.

I will be there next week with an empty milk jug.

Swap and Meet

I went to the Swap Meet! It was pretty fun. I had fried mini donuts and they were delicious. I also bought a stack of old books. They are pretty amazing. I think the oldest one is from the twenties of thirties. A pair of $5 fake Marc Jacobs aviators might have followed me home too. It's hard to say.

Look at the picture above, because while Molly was ordering a snow cone, I glanced over to where they make the lemonade. If you notice, about 1/5 of the cup is filled with sugar before they pour the actual lemonade in the cup. I hope no one looks at this and still wonders why there is an obesity problem in America.

My Day Off

I don't have to work tomorrow. I am very excited for all of things I plan to do. I know for sure I am getting up early with Molly and going to watch Jeremiah sky dive. Exciting! I am going to be nervous, but I'm sure it will be fun. Also, after, we are all going to the swap meet. I hope to eat delicious foods and buy pirated things. We'll see how it goes... I do hope to head over to Michael's and make some amazing crafts.
