no-fail strategy

the worst possible position you can find yourself in the night before a critique is arguing about humanism with a man who's entire philosophy is based on his personal pride. when you realize your situation, exit the conversation respectfully, find deepa, and go check out the lampshades at Couscous.

people, if your brushes have been good to you make sure you reward them. I washed and reshaped all those soldiers after finishing this painting.

young and restless


thursday, originally uploaded by puerperil.

something in my understanding of how the world works
made me think I could triple-prime a canvas in two hours. something made me think I could paint a third coat before the first one was even dry. I may need a reality check. A B C D E F G. four plus five equals nine.

thanks, universe

Valentines Day is a critique at 9:00, a portfolio due at 2:00 and two scholarship apps due tomorrow.

and I didn't get you anything...

the new slang


Downtown05, originally uploaded by puerperil.

"Hold the mayo" just doesn't mean anything to some people. One time Garrison Keillor said "If you're tired of mayonnaise you're tired of life" but i'm pretty sure he was joking. My waitress must not have thought I was serious either.That's one more reason to start making my own sandwiches

no brown bag for me

I've got to contribute to the local economy by eating out every single day. I know it's a bad habit - I'm actually really trying to work on it.

I have a big problem with Hillary Clinton wearing yellow. Why is she trying to look like Katie Couric's halloween costume from 1999?

i fear my system of file management is becoming apparent. yes. "uptown07.jpg" means i have made only 7 drawings north of Belvedere. This is chris who I work with who unfortunately decided to paint on Rieves De Lin for our portrait paint-offf. I do my best work when I am over worked and under paid and using good paper.

There are some good restaurants in richmond. The tomato soup at Lulu's is totally worth waiting in line for. Even when the crowd looks as dangerous as this one.

the town


Shockhoe02, originally uploaded by puerperil.

There is something seriously wrong with Carry Town. Everyone is really suspicious like I can't walk around with my bicycle basket (trying to save a tree for once) without shop owners looking in it like I'm using it to steal merchandise. And the New York Deli burned my veggie burger and charged me for too many onions but that's nothing compaired to getting kicked out of the oriental rug store.

First Friday rocked. Much thanks to cups of coffee #1, 2, and 3. Not so much #4.
