Blaaaah.

The Flixster is sleeping.

I should be painting.

Well, I should be doing a lot of things. But on the recreational front, one of them is painting. Either Easter eggs (to give to various family members in a week's time), for obvious reasons, or the Prophecy of the North painting I started.

But I don't wanna. I've finished all the broad background work, now I have to tackle the finicky detail stuff, and I'm apparently not in the right mode for that. (Who knew I had different painting modes? Well, I found out that I do. I'm still in "some rough brushstrokes make a sea and wet-in-wet stick figures make a distant crowd" mode, and this is absolutely incompatible with faces and clothing and stuff. Don't know how to get myself into "finicky detail work" mode. Ruined Finarfin's face already. Blaaaaah.)

I think I'd like to do some gardening, but even if it weren't beginning to get dark-ish, there's still snow everywhere, so that's not a feasible option.
Of course, I could also work on some of my story WiPs, either fannish or original, but we're 21 days into B2MeM - I need a break.

All I seem to be able to do right now is read some senseless snippets or brief LJ entries and comments and stuff. Or chat maybe. I can't focus on anything longer. (This may actually have to do with being unable to focus on the process of painting the foreground figures? IDK.) I'm in a tumblr state of mind, it seems. But all my usual sources of senseless and/or brief snippets of information, entertainment or communications appear to be dried up just now.
Typical.

Whine, whine.

I hate it when I don't seem to be able to do anything useful (or even useless) with myself. Maaan, I'm almost 30. I really should have learned to pull myself together by now, no?

Apparently not.
Blaaaah.

Still not Spring.

You Nailed My Mood!!!

It's gonna snow today! Boo! I did waste time differently. I just found out how really difficult it is to make a fan video. How hard can it be, just upload a bunch of pics and slap some music on them? Right? Wrong! Ha! Laughing at myself.

I wanted to go to an event in the city for writers of teen works--that could be me. I missed a good one last night. It is sort of conference. And not sure about the one tonight. It's colder than I had hoped and gonna snow. Whatever.

I want to see the Prophecy of the North painting. It does sound epic.

Let's just blame it on the weather. This endless winter drags you down! "Whatever" sums it up pretty nicely.

Epic is what it should be. Right now it's just epically frustrating. I've been planning to do this ever since I first read The Silmarillion but didn't dare to. Now I know exactly why! >_> (Making fanvids is something else I've been meaning to do for ages but didn't dare to tackle yet... ^^)

Blah. Gonna make supper now so there's at least something accomplished!

I'm almost 40 ...

I often have days I feel like you and I'm way older than 30!

So you're surely too mature and reasonable for these sorts of moods! ;) (Hey, don't take all of my illusions away at once.)

You mean it doesn't get better with age? :(
