ah the smell of the tea, the taste of the doughnut

today rodford and i had coffee/tea and doughnuts and discussed the merits of christmas cards, how to mix a nice pink and derided the size of a pheasant's head. hopefully tomorrow my new stockpile of supplies will arrive. i'm trying a new size of rectangle which will either be a triumph or some kind of metaphorical punch in the groin, as i have yet to try a different dimension of rectangle with the canvas aside from the ones i normally have and the 5 x 10s. if this isn't totally fascinating then i just don't know what is. actually what is fascinating is whether or not a monkey would ever think of tying himself to a shark with snakes. even if he didn't actually do it, then what if he at least thought about it. yeah i know. mind blowing stuff. and that is why you are reading this blog.
