37 year old dad to two kids and thousands of DragonCon nerds. Find me in the garden rambling about Star Trek and how much I dislike the government.
It's been a week since I did any kind of #art, especially #watercolor. I watched a video on leaves and tried some out. My favorites are the ones with the veins, using the blunt end of the brush. Happy to be creating, however amateur.

Another day of random #watercolor where I wasn't sure what to do so I painted one of our hanging plants, then flung bright colors at the page.

I didn't have a lot of time or ideas for my #watercolor tonight so I did this. All the colors on my palette went down, in a row, and then I painted a little over-easy egg. If the point is "art every day" then I'm doing it. I need to watch more instructional videos, though.

Day two of doing little #watercolor things. Did a little sky, some hills, and a 'wee bothy' (inspired from our trip to #Scotland three years ago). It's not perfect, but it's art.

I haven't been creative in a long time. The #Finch app challenged me to be creative every day. I'm watching some Kristin Van Leuven on YouTube and just doing some fun exercises. Doesn't have to be perfect, just has to be done. #watercolor #art #watercolorpainting #painting

Got grossed out by all the bubbles this morning at work. Sink had bubbles in it. My water bottle made bubbles. Bathroom soap was extra bubbly. Why did it gross me out? Am I pregnant?

I'm not one to overshare, but I just dropped my cholesterol by 10% without drugs or sacrifice by just applying the latest dietary research. How I did it, I think, is worth knowing:

My #LastFourWatched for my #LetterboxdFriday. Bring Them Down was some of the best #cinema I've seen in a while. Also I apparently missed The Amazing Spiderman for this many years. It was OK.

Called all my reps today because of the "Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies" executive order. I'm in a red area, so they might not care, but still. WTAF is going on? I love that the # Democrats are being super silent on all of this, that totally gives me hope. #uspol #politics #uspolitics

I have finally finished my Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk adorned by the Enchanted Crown of the Sepsis Wh🙀re cross stitch.
I made this pattern myself and it took me October to yesterday to finish stitching her. Next one will be in sunglasses for sure.
