Movie Time

I went to see "Guardians of the Galaxy" in Gardner with Jason & Stacie & the kids, Sarah & the kids, Mom, and Jaymi & 2 of her kids, just as the skies opened for a downpour. It was pretty kick-ass. When we got home, Sawyer & I were drawing (as Cooper looked on), and I drew Groot from memory (no photo reference):

9 Days - THREE

I ate right all day: a South Beach Breakfast in the a.m., the 'Smoked Oyster Special' for lunch, and mac & cheese w/ground beef & broccoli for supper (with a Red Hook ESB). Okay, I had a lot of M&M's in between, but I'm calling it a good day.

I watched "Seven Psychopaths" in the morning; hung out online (and did laundry), looking up vacation activities & places to eat in the afternoon; and I watched tv in the evening.

The day goes by a lot quicker when one gets out of bed at 10:00 am...

9 Days - TWO

As you can see, I didn't post yesterday, but this is the recap:

For some reason I was up & out of bed at 7:30 am. I had cereal and coffee while I watched "Live Free or Die Hard" and later, I had last night's beef lo mein for lunch. I ran out to foodshop at 7:00 pm, and I ended the day with the season 3 finale of "Downton Abbey". A long and quiet day except for the gale force winds blowing outside!

Oh, and I drew this:

9 Days - ONE

I slept in until 9:30, had cereal for breakfast with my coffee, and then watched cartoons ("Green Lantern" and "Young Justice"). It snowed overnight, but just a light powder.

Then I drew for awhile, added several cds and songs to my iPod, had Chinese food and watched "Ghostbusters".

Around 6 pm I finally showered, and then I ran out to the comic shop. I made coffee and read for a couple of hours, and then drew some more. I also talked to Erik & Chris on the phone, and the latter is down for this year's WPMF!

I'm currently (10:00 pm) watching "The Mosquito Coast" on my computer with my Big Blue Live for the sound, and I just completed my drawing project, "Legionnaire Ken".

Productivity

I had my first Saturday off in two months today.

I got up at nine, had cereal and coffee for breakfast, and then watched "Lords of Dogtown" (great movie). I RSVP'ed to Mike's NYE party ('most likely will attend'). I jumped online for a bit, and then was showered & out the door a little after 11 am to run some errands.

I drove to the Westminster post office to buy stamps and mail four t-shirts from last summer's WPMF III to the very patient winners of the blog sign-up. I stopped in at Dad & Ma's to pick up the three bags of whole bean Sumatran coffee they got me for Christmas (shipping delay), plus my gift from the California Crew (J & Stacie & kids), a $25 GC from AMEX. I went to the Leominster Barnes & Noble to snag two blank journals (my last one is neary full). And then I foodshopped.

We are supposed to get a lot of snow overnight, so I am ready in every way I can think of. And so is he (my cat Sabrino)!

I finished reading "Ozma of Oz" and then watched the newer "Clash of the Titans" (not bad). Then I ran out to get gas and to buy booze for Mike's party. There were already 3 inches of snow on the ground! I wound up getting a bottle of Appleton Estate V/X and a 2010 Malbec from Dona Paula Estate.

I made angel hair & ground beef covered in Ragu (and accompanied it with half of a Redhook ESB), and then read "Dorothy and The Wizard in Oz". Then it was a bored websurf for awhile. There were 6 inches of snow on the ground by 9 pm, and it is still falling...
