Friday
The morning started off with me sleeping in (AGAIN!)… and missing the gym (AGAIN!), but I think that I really needed the rest. The morning, otherwise, was… okay. The rest of the day was better.

After work, we met up with the usual suspects for coffee and chat. Thanks, again, to for her comments/critiques with tonight’s drawrin’. I went on another around-the-store adventure with Gabe. While we were upstairs in the children’s book section, he found a book about bulldozers… with wheels. Shortly after that, I put him on my shoulders; as we were on our way downstairs, he decided to “drive” the book on my head. It was funny.

  • Why is it that Americans view animation as something primarily for kids? I’m not sure when that stigma became attached to the art form. Other countries use animation as a means of storytelling; and they often use it, very effectively, to reach audiences of all ages. Here, one often gets odd looks if they mention watching an animated movie/television program. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts on this?
  • Hush puppies. I’ve been craving them for the past few days. The food, that is… not the brand of shoe.
