Number 84

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Yesterday I decided to draw early as I felt sick and wanted a drawing pick-me-up. But this wasn’t a drawing idea so I might draw again tomorrow and see how it turns out. Is it just me or did I say draw like 5 too many times?

Yesterday’s was 84. Make a list of the things you do to escape.

  1. Read anything. Books, magazines, the internet. Fiction, the news, random encyclopedia entries.
  2. Play with Gracie. Puppies make most things better. Except when they are making things worse.
  3. Listen to and find new music. Finding new music can be hard for me, so sometimes I need to escape from that, too. 
  4. Look for inspiration. Usually found in design blogs, design/decor magazines, or the Food Network. I have a mental file of some things, and an actual notebook of things I’ve pulled from decor magazines.
  5. Plan pipedreams. Dream vacations totally mapped out on Expedia, business plans semi-drawn up in Word and semi-designed in Illustrator. I spend a lot of my escape time planning new things to escape from.
  6. Talk to my friends, if you can call it talking. Because it’s mostly online. As is my whole life. Which goes into
  7. Eating out with friends. Never alone. But I like to eat out. Lets me talk and taste things I can’t or won’t make at home. I wish there were more fun places to eat around Cincinnati but that is my life.
