blogger/google change

Well then. It appears time doesn't stand still and everything changes eventually. Not sure how much I like this new update to blogger but I'm willing to adapt. I drew today, I walked 2 miles today, I even did some work AFTER work today. I feel like I've accomplished a bit - but still feel I can do MORE. Im not sure what that more is though. Hoping tomorrow's weather is better than today. Happy thoughts: 1. On my walk to work I saw a lot of nature, of the pleasant kind. It was like the sound of the wind in the trees was just for me. Seeing backlit clouds and dandelion puffs really wakes my imagination. 2. I read a bit more from one of my library books - the topic wasn't that much of interest to me today but I kept at it. (I'm always determined to read through a story even if I don't find it interesting or even if I find the subject kind - of revolting. What was the topic? Well, it was about fox hunting. Not many hunters in my family, but the one thing I've been disappointed to see dead is a fox. I'd like to see them more, with their bright red fur and white tuft of a tail. Much more interesting than coyotes. Sure they eat chickens, but they're creative about it, and they're not cruel about it like rats.) 3. I managed to wake up at 530 AM and feel rested. This is an improvement over the last few weeks. 4. This american life's episode today was touching. 5. I turned my frown upside down today 6. Mac'n cheese from a box is no longer sufficient, it DOES taste like cardboard. Think I'll stick to ramen noodles when I need a fix for junk-dinner-food.

Easter Part 2

Every family has it's own way of celebrating holidays. I get three different celebrations for EVERY holiday. One's full of kids, one's full of dogs, and the final one is full of old-world foods. All of them share one thing in common-family drama. This year's holidays were pretty good, food was plentiful, and nothing went too wrong.

The best part of Friday was finding a magazine all about Chicago at the doctor's office called "ECHO". Turns out it's produced by my alma matter. They had an article about a record store with an arcade museum in the back. I CANNOT wait to find time to go. If you want a preview of the types of games they have (free to play) check out this vimeo they posted:

I've also found myself reading an online magazine that I came across accidentally a little bit ago called "The Hairpin". It's managed to sit itself in my browser toolbar. It's full of fun little articles ranging from personal recounts of daily life, fun makeovers, and opinions. You should read it now!

I finished one!

For the first time I can recall, I finished filling in a sketchbook, cover-to-cover.

Spotify has a shuffle feature. This is like having the perfect ipod.

Inspite of getting bad news yesterday, I've not let it get to me much. I'm going day by day again.

Good news at the doc on Tuesday's last-minute visit, it's nothing to worry about. That's always a relief.

I'm getting used to crap happening. Keep looking at inspiring pictures, drawings, and quotes.

Just keep drawing.
