spring me along...

I'm supposed to be furiously drawing for this art show that I'm in the weekend after next and it seems like all of my skills have gone away. I have no ideas and even if I did my execution is off. I haven't been in the right frame of mind, and I know that's my ego talking, but seriously. I can't seem to get it together. I may have to just submit old stuff. Maybe this is the turning point, where I go from "creative person" to "fan of creative people." I don't want to relegate myself to fan status!

As of this Friday I am off for nine days. Lev and I are going to the planetarium on Tuesday and I am going to do some serious biz-casual shopping at good ol' H&M. I am not going to spend my time off on the couch, that is for certain. This is perfect timing really. The weather is starting to smile at spring and I can ride my bike to yoga class. I love this time of year.

And maybe I'll get out of my creativity funk and get some good ol' work done. Hello, last week of UIC...

Building on 18th and Ashland, Pilsen.

ouch

I just bumped my face so hard it made me cry.

I spent the day downtown shopping. Apparently, H&M turns into a club by noon on Saturdays. There was a DJ spinning the hits of the 80s with his speakers pointed into the business casual section.

I can't believe I bumped my face. I immediately wanted to blame somebody but there is nobody here but me. I might have a line-bruise down my cheek. Blame our stupid tiny no-door apartment! We have to use curtains for everything because whoever remodeled this place thought that we didn't want doors, and I banged my face while trying to avoid mushing my hair against the heavy closet curtain while keeping my eyes glued to the brand-new sailor top I just bought from Zara's. But I do love our cute, hardwood-floor and curtain-having apartment. I take it all back!

This is a photo Lev took of me making dinner in my new pants in our lovely apartment that attacks sometimes.
