I realized this morning that using MT for the news and journal pages is breaking my frameset. I should probally just switch over to using templates and CSS to set the top navigation menu. That means I'd have to teach myself how to do that... ugh.

Laundry's in the dryer now. Got a good early start on it. I'm thinking that if I do some of the chores I may go uptown to the local art stores and price/buy some watercolour paper. It's my new 'thing'. I'm insane about my 'things', especially now that we have money. The last one was making beaded jewellery. I don't think I've touched my beads in months, but through most of the winter I was making a necklace a night.

Part of that was keeping my hands busy during the worst part of my quit. I don't know if I actually like jewellery making for its own merits. Heh, well it's not like the beads will go bad.

So my new thing is Watercolours. Actually it's a fairly old thing for me. I bought super cheap watercolour paints, paper and brushes as a self-gift for my 26th birthday. Then I never touched them. I think I was intimidated by the idea of me... painting.

I'm not sure why I started this time. Oh, I know. I was in my slump, watching Dawson's Creek on TBS for 4 hours every morning. One day I decided to organize the boxes of random crap I have tucked at various points throughout the house and my watercolours were in there.

So I've been slowly teaching myself through books and just slapping paint on the paper. I bought better paints a couple weeks ago and now I'm itching to get better paper, or at least a block of paper so I don't have to stretch the damn stuff out.
