The other day I spit out a painting in less than an hour. Although it isnt entirely done it does have 90% of the detailing i want on it.
I still need to detail the hand facing us, and then figure out where the other is in relation. As well as smooth some of the stickier points where the paint pulled away.
Tonight I get to wine and dine it with some of Halifax’s most important people. This is where Greg laughs at me and asks if Halifax actually has important people. However it is true, I am going to The Coast awards to schmooze with people who might be able to point me in the direction of awesomeness. Also to eat wonderful food.
Off to update my website and get shit done.
“You cant fake cool. Some people have it and some people try, the triers fail. You, Amanda, are cool. You dont care. You wear what you want, you do what you want. You treat everyone like a person. That is what defines cool. Some people just dont have it”
When drunk you look at your copy of Pride & Prejudice the BBC movie release for tv and think “Boy that would be the best thing to watch right now”

It is with great sadness that I mention, I did *not* get the awesome job in Lunenburg. Of course I got wind of it after I mentioned the interview to my boss at the cafe. How degrading.
Prior to the news though I had a pretty effing awesome day. I went out and handed in my notice for this claptrap shit hole I live in. 3 mos til I am out of here. I posted a cheque, and bought myself a new recovered journal. This one is titled “The man who got even with God”. I already have the next 3 mos put in there. I did find however that the same company has day planners and I may get one next time. I am also thinking of raiding my parents basement and sending some to them. Greg always seems unamused when I getone of these books. I am sure they could be seen as a waste of income or a frivolous purchase. I suppose those are the same thing though.
Off to get dressed and serve tea… again.
