So I've decided the next book I read, after I'm finished I'll post a review. I'm not going to go back and review the other books that I've read lately because I know I'll mix things up with other books. I have a habit of mixing plot ideas and what not so it's not a good idea to try and write a review right off the top of my head.
At least I'll have something else to post other than my art that I haven't been posting because I've been unbelievably lazy. Bad me.
And update sometime soon. I'm working my way through "My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me." I love fairy tales and this one has me interested. So off I go to finish reading this fairy tale collection and possible working on more revamps of some old comic characters.

Fair, Projects, and a Little This and That
So.... haven't written in a while because let's face it, I'm lazy. That's mostly it. Soooo I decided I'd write about last night a bit.
Mon County had their county fair last night and Traci and I decided to check it out for a bit. Let's face it, sometimes we just need to get out of the apartment for a while. We went out to eat, picked a few things up, and then just headed over. Five dollars for each of us to get into the door, which wasn't so bad really. Back from our home county it was twice that and that didn't include concerts or anything. Went to see some small fair stuff then walked around for a bit. Saw some fair animals, the goats and miniature horses were adorable, got kissed on the hand by a pig or two (the animals is case anyone's train of thought was going else where) and Traci almost got pecked at by a chicken. Or rooster..... Not quite sure..... Took a little break to sit and have a snow cone (it was in a cup so really a snow cup but who cares!). Joked around that if Traci played Bingo they'd probably kick her out of the little tent because she'd win all the time.
Fair fooooood..... I love the smell of most fair foods. I adore funnel cakes. It was decided by both Traci and I that we'd get our own because we don't like sharing foods we haven't had in ages. While waiting in line we met up and talked to one of the girls Traci works with and her boyfriend and it was quite nice really. It delayed the nommings of the funnel cakes though because since we touched animals we didn't want to eat the funnel cakes without washing our hands. We said our goodbyes, grabbed a giant thing of cotton candy and headed home. Nommed half the funnel cake when we got home and funnel cake cravings were set. At least for now.
Though I'm not sure if I want to try that again. I had some of the weirdest dreams last night and this morning which caused me to wake up around 7 something and not be able to go back to sleep. Poo. After waking up before 7 everyone morning for a while my body thinks only an extra hour is awesome. Oh well..... And of course, worst breakfast food ever. The rest of the funnel cake that I didn't eat last night. I'm such a horrible person! I regret nothing!
Interesting news though. Traci brought a cat down the stairs yesterday when she got home from work. I've seen her around and so had Traci and the kitty is rail thin. Soooo we fed her. Wolfed it down and began purring at us. We couldn't help it and bought a small thing of cat food after dinner last night and some flea stuff so we could treat her. She was here when we got home from the fair and she crunched on some food before trying to get back into the apartment. Silly thing doesn't know yet that if she runs in again she'll get a full on bath before she's allowed to stay long in here. No joke.
I worked on a project this week just for myself and to see if I can come up with any other project ideas for my advanced class. I though of trying to work more with color and so far, this project was fun. I finished it yesterday and loved how the colors interacted. Bright, bold and fun. It's mostly a bunch of curvy and curled lines but it's simple and that's what I wanted. I'll try to have a picture up soon.
The whole thing was slightly delayed though when I went up Monday and found someone had not only used my screen but tried to cover up the fact that they punched a small hole though it by putting emulsion back onto the screen. I was not amused. I think I fixed it and it should hold out for a couple months if I'm easy with it. It had it's first trial run yesterday and the patch worked perfectly. But if I find out who ever did that to my screen they will pay me for the damages. My screen, my stuff, no touchie! RAWR!
The weather seems to be clouding over now. Don't know for how long. Storms are in the forecast and I can kind of feel it in the air. But we'll see how far that'll go. And a breakfast other than horribly bad for me fair food would be nice. Maybe Tudor Biscuit World.... Best biscuits ever! Drooling over it now. Can't help it! But we'll see. It all depends on what Traci wants.
Pictures of things I've been working on to come up at some point in time.
