In the pool before 9AM. Then, inexplicably, back in the pool around 1PM. So that's good.
Did a little more painting. Apples is in that crucial stage when it could totally go off and be ruined. For some reason I'm not worried, though I'm impatient to paint on it even though I know I should wait.
Got a call from a possible job source. We'll see how that goes, I guess. Some more Lynda classes, which are always quite good.
And some more painting elsewhere, and we're done for the day, aside from watching "Out of Sight" (good film). See you tomorrow.

Went in to swim around 11 AM. Not feeling too swift, but managed the laps.
Canceled my XBox Live account, as I no longer have an XBox. Found my ABTech stuff, but it appears that I don't have an ABTech email account, so it looks like I can't get the free Maya software. Maybe I'll take the Lynda courses anyway.
The plumber showed up and fixed my sink. Now, I'm going to go out and get my car inspected.
Fun day, eh?
Update: forgot one of my rules (Never eat at Burger King) and ate at Burger King. Hence I feel terribly sick. I doubt I'll do anything else today but will keep this open anyway.
Later update: recovered enough to want to do more, and did a little--very little--painting. The green swirl painting I'd started had what looked like death in a coat, so I emphasized this.
I don't think anything else is going to happen tonight. See you tomorrow.
Secret Update: Well, I ended up doing a lot more painting. Worked on Telephone Girl and the Green Apples paintings. I'm more pleased with the day.

Early start to a crowded pool around 9AM. Got gas, milk and a couple of Egg McMuffins (which still taste great).
Did a short remix of another video for YouTube.
Set up camera for "self-portraits" but the phone rang. Will see if I can finish the project.
Update: I shot some photos, not really happy with them overall, but they're not bad. Maybe I'll try at some future time. They were damned hard to set up, with all the costuming and so forth.
I think I will go swimming again. It's about 11:15 PM, may not be crowded. But no more entries for today.
Tomorrow, then.

Up at 9AM, swam, and ran some errands. Found out Leela's adoption date: November 14, 2010!
Later: slow day. Watched some films, rested. Tomorrow awaits.

Post-midnight last night, I created a new Audacity project using a piano WAV from the Zoom archives. I tried some of the bass nubbins with it, but they seemed to clash a bit more than I really wanted. I'm sure I'll do more as the day wears on.
Got my swimming in around 11 AM.
Later: started another painting, largely green. Used a huge amount of paint, and had to use an old toothbrush to get the paint off my hands.
Nothing else accomplished today. Watched the Netflix DVD I got yesterday (MST3K's "Beast of Yucca Flats"). The problem with DVDs is that I should watch them and send them back, but they take up both audio and video senses so it's hard to do much with this segment of the day.
To tomorrow.

Beautiful weather, so I went for a brief drive. That didn't do anything for me, so I came home and read outside for a while. I'd really like more art history books for the Kindle.
I started a new painting, mostly by taking four colors and smearing them downward on a canvas. Interesting results that will, or course, require detailing when this first step dries.
I also noticed that the work I'd done on Night Surgeon is lit from the wrong side! A redo is in order.
But not tonight. On to tomorrow!

Well, I was up late last night "indulging" so I punished myself by getting to the pool before 10AM. Tried the new shampoo I'd bought and it seems to leave my hair less zombified.
I bought a pedal-board today, and signed up for a year of Lynda.Com. No other works to speak of, though I've opened up Sick Jazz in an Audacity window. I think there's definite potential with that work, need something noirish animated to go with it.
Update: did a second version, which I like too. (The first one has some odd glitches.) I imported all the music from my old Zoom MRS-4 and there's some nice stuff there.
Went in to swim after 11. Pool surprising crowded.
