swigged history cover

a beer and some paint helped me to feel a bit better. it's not 100%, but it's much closer to the direction i originally had in mind.

i gimped the colours a bit because my camera's not amazing.

i took a nap before heading out to inform the real estate agent of the news and get trouser legs shortened. that took so long that i finished reading the adventures of huckleberry finn and got started on george's secret key to the universe. the former is as beautiful as it gets credit for, and the latter starts excellently. i'm already convinced that this is one of the books my kids will grow up with :)

i got some gifts sorted out, went past the art shop but realized that i didn't know exactly which colours i wanted (weird names for "red" and "black"), and i got back here to tire out my hands on the first minute of tool - wings for marie.

i'm going to do some quick shopping (all i want are munchies but i don't have), this time remembering to take a green bag there, and then i'm guessing tonight won't be entirely boring.
