Paint my life away.

For my Art Appreciation class, my professor decided that he wants us all to hand in an art project because he feels we should indulge in art-making in order to increase our appreciation for art. I agree! The project is due in about 2 weeks, so I finally went to Michael's today to buy some art supplies: a pack of 10 brushes, 5 tubes of oil-based paint (primary colors along with black and white), a tray to mix my colors in, and a 3-pack of canvases already primed with gesso. One canvas will be for my art project, which I already have an idea of what I want my piece to look like, and I can use the extra 2 for whenever I feel inspired.

I know I mentioned a while ago how I wanted to tap more into my creative side, so I'm glad my art class is able to be the kick-off point. Walking through Michael's, I immediately wanted to do this, that, and this- paint, scrapbook, oil pastels, etc.

One thing at a time, one thing at a time.

I know it's your love that saved me
Cuz I was lost, somehow driftin' away
Was almost gone, you brought me to life again

Every cloud has a silver lining...

But I can't seem to find the silver lining to these cumulonimbus clouds which have seemed to set a curse on these past couple of weeks. It's so hard to keep moving forward on a positive note when my whole world continues to crash and burn right in front of me, and all I can do is sit on the sidelines and watch helplessly. Everything that has happened this past month, this past year, has taken such a huge toll on me, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I'm trying so hard to maintain a tight grip on my sanity, but my efforts are useless.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

For a whole month, I have been successful in not touching the money I won from playing bingo- with the exception of buying food, gas, etc. I wish I could say the same for the birthday money I received, but everything was dissolved in a matter of a week, again thanks to food. However, I couldn't stop myself from purchasing a new game for my DSi today. I've been done with Rhythm Heaven for a while, and as much fun as it would be to play all the mini-games, I'd much rather have a new one. And yeah, I still haven't finished playing Super Paper Mario or Super Mario Galaxy... but whatever! No buyer's remorse here!

Anyways- so here's something new to keep me preoccupied (like I'm not already jammed with x-amount of papers, tests, etc.). I wonder how long it'll take me to finish the game!? We shall see...
