Get better at watercolors (read all 2 entries…)
Weeeeell... 16 months ago

I missed the messy hands and frustration! But I am definitely a noob at what I’m doing. Walmart watercolor paper sucks and I’m going to try to paint on my acrylic paper instead. I constantly have to remind myself that I’m not a professional, so if I fail, it’s no big deal. I kind of have a perfectionist mentality… which doesn’t help much.

Anyways, I want to finish my “artwork” dress rehersal tomorrow. :) Wish me luck!

expand my book collection (read all 2 entries…)
(Hopefully...) Books for the Month! 16 months ago

The Sandman: Endless Nights by Neil Gaiman:
—Oddly enough, I’ve read all 2000+ pages of the Sandman and I don’t own any of them! I also have this weird urge now to collect… comic books. Not manga. Comic books. Not the Superman/Spiderman kind. Eclectic comic books. Unfortunately, when I ran to get it from the bookstore, they were fresh out. GAH. Hopefully, I can catch one on the shelf before September ends.

Also on the to-do book list…
The Bell Jar by Silvia Plath
—Because the summary at the back caught my attention. And I can’t believe I didn’t read anything by hers yet.

Get better at watercolors (read all 2 entries…)
When I get my allowance... hopefully: 16 months ago

Mimi will go to the craft store.
Mimi will get a set of Prang watercolors. And better brushes. And maybe gouache. And some paper. Or maybe lot of paper.
Mimi will finally realize this goal, yes?
And maybe Mimi needs to stop talking in third person.
