i have the heart of a poet. i see the world thru a poetic lens.
i was reading a quote by picasso today. it reminded me that i'm not a painter. i wish i was that kind of artist, but my heart doesn't beat to paint. i'm stuck in the notion that you are only an artist if you're a sculptor or painter. that's so old school. why don't i get with it. i'm an artist in my own right. i make a living thru the applied arts, i shouldn't feel like a sell-out for not living and breathing oil paints. besides, you don't have to necessarily be an artist to be artsy. i have loads of artsy friends who aren't active "artists".
why do i feel small and big at the same time? like, how is that possible.
i flew my kite again today. this time my dad joined me. it did pretty well! got about 50ft high!! but the wind wasn't steady and it soon died down. it was fun. he came by to give me the energy saver bulbs he bought for me at costco. i have 8 now. i'm saving money and saving the universe even as i type! awesome. that aphra has got me anxious about the mercury content, while at the same time feel an overwhelming urge to break one. i suppose it's like looking at the sun. you know you're not supposed to, you know it will cause damage, but it's hard to resist. however, you can breathe easy because i won't be cracking any open. actually, i'm somewhat paranoid about the whole deal.
oh, so upon reading the linguine recipe more closely, i discovered i was only suppose to use 4 teaspoons, not 4 tablespoon. that explains why it was so thick. i have a problem. it's like a learning disability, but it's a cooking disability. well at least i know for next time.
in my spaceship i am laughing.
