Lunch time, shopping for clothes makes me hungry and mentally exhausted so let's hope the 2 new pair of jeans last as long as the old ones

Well that was more entertaining than the morning news. Especially the part where the guy finally woke up and looked around, trying to find the walls of his room.

Could of washed the cover and got rid of the drunk by using one of those high pressure water machines!

I had a nice evening at the Museum of Fine Arts - Houston last night. I wandered around studying some paintings that had particularly expressive hand gestures like this one and this one. I had a quiet meal (chicken salad) in the museum cafe and then watched a very nice film, Alamar. I am suitably refreshed.

Then everyone would try to guess who the daddy was. That was fun, too! The "Blackout Baby Daddy" has never been identified. I think he lives in the sewers. And is an amphibian. A shy one. So, if you are ever visiting New York City and there is a blackout, get naked. If you are really lucky, you could go home with the ultimate souvenir! Beats the Heck out of DisneyLand, doesn't it? I don't like DisneyLand. It's too bright. Not the tourists. They're dumber than pubic hair lint. Well, they are in DisneyLand, after all. It goes without saying. Know what I'm saying? What was I saying? Is there coffee? Is it dark? I like it pitch black. Underwear optional.

Light pollution is a pet peeve of astronomers, from professionals to backyard hobbyists. I don't fall in either category, but I have considered taking a vacation in one of the few remaining areas in the country where the skies are still relatively clear just for the sheer joy of seeing the stars again.

With my luck, it would rain!

The expenses are pouring out today. Managed to buy myself a new bicycle jacket and helmet. They were on sale so I didn't feel too bad about it.

Now I'm getting a cup of tea, oh wait that message was for the what's in your cup forum

, I'm taking the cup outside since it's quite a beautiful day, we're not to spoiled with those days here in Norway. I'm going to sit down with the cup and start my reader and see if I can get some reading done.

After all isn't that why we are all lurking around this forum to catch the next great book to read.

None at all.

One reason I love it. And although the physical process is a bit different (the Wacom Tablet/stylus in particular) than painting with real brushes, media, canvas, the results (when using Corel Painter) are very much like the real thing as far as paints and brushes and canvas and the final result.

Wonderful! Not nearly as nice as aesthetic as being there, but there are some great on-line museum displays.

Glad you had a great evening!
