ground down

painting takes longer than fifteen minutes. what was i thinking?! i had to leave just as we got started...

... it turned out that i'd spent an absolutely gorgeous, sunny, breezy day indoors and facing the computer. at least i got some time outside on my rollerblades, travelling to play nuns on the run and carcassonne in ramat gan. both brilliant games, both had me not just coming stone last but making horrific mistakes that made me deserve to. and yet, still awesome games, and great fun.

i got home to finish painting, and am now about to... i don't know. i just - don't - know.
