it was lovely to escape the office early yesterday, on a wonderful pre-spring day, even if only to walk downtown to go to the dentist (ugh). i decided to take my pencam and oh my was Penelope ever delighted about the excursion. she is so good at sky and the clouds were amazing. now i have many of them to use for texture layers, etc. tree branches, too. just what i had been wishing for. photoshop clouds are rather disgusting. sadly, i am afraid Penelope may be near death. she has had a wonderful life and Jim, if you are still out there, i still thank you every time i carry her. despite the irritating BEEP, she is a grand companion! she is now sucking the life out of her batteries too quickly, then dying … then beeping dramatically. but i’ll keep her breathing as long as possible.
even though i seem to be only interested and capable of making images lately, i *did* finish yet another empty and meaningless book last night. the stack is growing. i don’t have a clue what to do with them, how to fill them with content - what. they seem so foolish. i wish i could stop.
hurry 5. i don’t want to be here.
