I’m really pooped. I’ve been working all day today and I don’t think I’ve had a real break yet. But, I’m not complaining, I’m just explaining why I’m tired. I’m actually really proud of everything I’ve accomplished today and can’t believe how far ahead of schedule I am, especially considering my brother (my one and only helper) hasn’t been feeling too good today. I won’t go through the whole list – I already typed it up in an email to a friend and I don’t feel like retyping it or even copying and pasting. But, I will tell you about what I’m most proud of:
I’ve successfully copied – or rather, interpreted – three Kandinsky paintings to hang up in the basement as three out of four central art pieces. They worked out really well, I think. They aren’t *completely* accurate to the original works, but that’s okay. They’re my own impressions of Kandinsky. I’m not going to say which ones I copied, just in case my parents happen upon this blog. I don’t want to risk blowing the surprise. Anyway, it took about 3 and a half hours to do all three canvases, and they were huge! That’s what I love about modern art – you can speed through it and it still looks pretty dang good. 🙂 I debated copying some Paul Klee paintings, but decided I’d best stick to one main theme for the artwork. I think it turned out looking much more uniform that way, while still keeping different patterns on each painting.
The basement’s really close to being done. If my brother can build the thing he’s supposed to build tomorrow, then I know we’ll be done. It’ll be so nice once it’s all done. That way I can actually sleep in again without feeling guilty. 🙂
I’ve just had the strangest feeling of deja vu. I sent off that aforementioned email, that’s when it started. I had a freaky feeling that I had typed those exact same words before, and anticipated the response before from the same person. And *then* I thought, “and isn’t Erick supposed to IM me now?” Five minutes later, I get an IM from my friend Erick. Then I start writing my blog entry, and *again* there’s that stupid feeling. Sigh. And I bet in the next few minutes I’ll go to bed, and have dreams, then wake up tomorrow and start decorating…
Now I’m just cheating. 😛
And now it’s off to bed for me, after I finish talking to Erick. So much decorating to do, so little time.
