I don't really feel like blogging right now, but I'm at work and I've got nothing else to do. I set up my miter table saw yesterday and used it for the first time. Freaking awesome! That is one purchase I won't be regretting. I was cutting everything by hand. Tedious and a lot of variation in cuts. Which is okay with most of my work, because it's supposed to be like that. But I like 45 degree angles to meet nicely. I also like being able to do more in less time. The thing I'm still debating is whether or not to get a table sander... I'm very particular about sanding my wood, I like to bring out the variations in the grain and I'm concerned a belt sander would just muscle through it all and leave an even, smooth surface. Unfortunately the sanding is actually the most labor intensive part of the process. So I was out in the shed yesterday with my very efficient space heater and iboom just thoroughly enjoying myself. I wish I were there right now, I've got a partially completed project. I don't like putting something on hold when I'm geared towards the work, everything else begins to feel like an impediment and a distraction, (even fun).
A thought... I know in MD they publish and promote their homegrown authors and illustrators, I wonder if I can get published that way... the author is from MN, I wonder if that matters, or if we could pull off both? She gets published in MN as a local and me in MD? Must look in to that. A bit of the cart before the horse, need to finish the book first. I think I'm going to take a shot at illustrating it in photoshop, that would make my life a million times easier and I'd be able to solve a lot of the color conundrums that way. No issues with consistent fields of color. How is that not a bitch for every painter? I feel like there's something I don't know...
I want to go on a safari, and meet some hunky australian guide. (Although, I understand that australian men are womanizing brutes and that's no good.) This is a rather slow three hour shift for me, I'm just not here... Pschological resistance. I want to be at home with my miter saw.

"I want to be at home with my miter saw"-words that I thought only my mother uttered....Sarah, this is pretty funny-don't know about the guy from Oz, though. They all aren't horrible, suspect. But, you should tell yourself that they are...makes it easier.
Men are interesting creatures...but, as demonstrated on 7th Heaven, women are very confusing...but, my big question is...will I get any flowers for V-day?
