Nothing really new to write about, but I thought I’d drop a note to say that. Heh.
Haven’t seen anymore roaches.
Forgot to pick up caulk at Home Depot today when I got some lights to use in my “studio” (a lightbox on my art table).
Looked at my watch earlier and saw that it was 4:45 and felt a strange mild relief even though I’m not at work. (It’s been a long week, spent mostly waiting for the days to end.)
Played with Illustrator on my laptop at the library today. Created some droplet shapes with a circle and lines, then with circle and altered rectangles, and finally figured out how to make the collection of shapes into one shape unto itself. Took me a while to figure out, but I think I learn best by doing. Then I made the droplet into a brush, which was a lot easier than I expected. Now I can make it rain. 
I think from now on, if I want to do serious work on my laptop that doesn’t require the Internet, I’d better hit a library. Panera will be reserved for online work. Barnes & Noble would be a good alternative to a lirary, but so far their cafés seem to have a lack of outlets.
Oh, and I found a couple of paperbacks and 3 CDs in the library’s used book shop. Also a hardback kids book, The Horse in Harry’s Room
And boy howdy, it’s chilly here. Maybe not comapred to Minnesota or Wisconsin, but it sure is a slap in the face when the wind chill is 31 degrees and only 2 days ago we almost hit 80 degrees. But even though it’s cold, the rain (yesterday and today) is welcome.
Oh, and BittBox is my new favorite site. There isn’t as much Illustrator content as I want to absorb these days, but what’s there is quality stuff.
