Number 84
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Yesterday 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.
- Read anything. Books, magazines, the internet. Fiction, the news, random encyclopedia entries.
- Play with Gracie. Puppies make most things better. Except when they are making things worse.
- Listen to and find new music. Finding new music can be hard for me, so sometimes I need to escape from that, too.
- 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.
- 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.
- Talk to my friends, if you can call it talking. Because it’s mostly online. As is my whole life. Which goes into
- 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.
