A drizzly Sunday randomocity

I'm sitting here watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory on DVD.

I'm doing this because of every TV network on the planet deciding Sunday morning is the time to run programming that isn't really fit for human consumption. I guess in their never-ending struggle to get us all to go to church or something. Fortunately, I'm well stocked up on DVDs of my favorite TV shows and movies so I can weather this storm.

Speaking of storms, looks like we may be having another one today, after being spared the torrential rainfall for a little while. Dammit.

As to my creative pursuits--I have this overwhelming urge to paint something, but I don't have anything that I want to paint. It's very frustrating. I'm working on a landscape right now but I didn't really conceptualize it adequately first so it's not going so well. I am taking this opportunity to learn, though--there's always something new I want to try out so it's not a total loss.

I haven't done any writing in a couple of days but I'm going to return to that in a little while. In that case it's a matter of being too frelling tired to concentrate when I get home from work.

I'm going to have a nine-year old hanging out with me at least some of the time this week, in addition to her mother. There aren't any words to how much I'm looking forward to spending some time with them while they're here--I've missed them both terribly.

Anyways, the plan for today is painting and writing and relaxing. Which is, really, as good as it gets, for me.
