Wow. What a totally unproductive work day. There’s an online charity auction that’s keeping everyone glued to their web browsers until 4pm, we had a mini-shower with cake and pop at 2:30pm (which I went on a shopping expedition with to buy balloons and disposable eating utensils with at 11am… let’s just say it wasn’t a brief trip), and I’ve been working on ‘s wedding program cover all morning. Sigh. I have several things due tomorrow, and I can just tell Friday morning is going to be all about panic.<\/p>\n

I really wanted to blog today — about our Canada Day barbecue, our houseguests who arrived Saturday and left Tuesday (Phil) and Wednesday () respectively, the coin rolls all over the bar, the baby spiders all over the kitchen, my knitting projects, Canada’s Next Top Model, Twin Peaks season 2 coming out on DVD this November, the awesome new Sasha Baron Cohen movie, my Mum’s upcoming birthday, the wedding I’m going to on Sunday, progress — and setbacks — with fixing our house computers. But all that will just have to wait, as it is the end of the day, and I’m pooped.<\/p>\n

Instead, I leave you with images of the scratchboard birds and wings that I drew last night (after watching Top Model and 15 minutes of ‘Wet Hot American Summer’ with Jeaneane Garofalo) for the front and back cover of ‘s program. They say nothing is more intimidating to the artist than the blank white page. I’d like to beg to differ and say the blank black page is pretty frightening, too, especially since there’s no white out if you screw up and put a scratch in the wrong piece of black. <\/p>\n
