I go blah, blah, blah

Chinese taco, wha? It reminds me of when we were trying to come up with the most vile and unfortunate restaurant combinations. Sushi and tacos. Sushi and fried chicken. Sushi plus anything that isn't sushi, really.

It's ok if you're an urban elitist. I still love you. I appreciate your not ruling out other cities in the US entirely, but now that I think of it, if we have to be in the states for the summer, I'd rather be in New York! I love all the summer activities here, and dammit, it is the best city in the USA!

I got a bunch of different pens at Blick/The Art Store today, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. I really wish I'd taken more art classes earlier. There are so many cool mediums out there, and I have virtually no idea about them. I was looking for options for outlining some flowers for this floral print that's due on Wednesday, and besides the usual Micron pens, there were a whole range of other tools. Markers that have brushes for tips, so you can get a smooth but fine line, available in a range of cool and warm grays, for instance. Can't. Resist. New. Pens.

I am trying to curb unnecessary purchases though, with the reminder that I'd be better off saving the money for Portugal. Items bought on vacation are so much fun. Today I got to nonchalantly tell some former coworkers that the sweater they were admiring was from a discount store ... in Paris. I'm still very fond of that toenail clipper you bought on Ko Samui in Thailand. I swear, that was the first time I really remembered getting a good look at your feet!

Hope you have a good, not-too-maddening day. Even if you're not into the project as they present it, try to get something worthwhile to you out of it!

much love,
tu "c"-ita
