Aug. 11th, 2005 10:18 pm- Busy day.
- Drove Chris to work. Went to Canadian Tire to buy a bike for Daniel. Bought it. Brought it home. Swept & tidied. Got computer expert set up in the study. Chatted with An. Tidied some more. Read a bit. Adjudicated a couple of sibling disputes. Chatted with An some more. Took pix of kids on their bikes - Daniel on the brand new one, Justin on Daniel's old one, and happily, somehow, Justin is more excited about getting Daniel's old bike than Daniel is about his new one. Went to bank to get cash to pay computer expert, as I do not currently have a credit card or personal cheques - all my cheques were related to my credit card. Talked over the computer situation with computer expert. Fed children dinner. Put children to bed.
- Why am I so tired?
- The children are in an absolute tizzy about going to Calgary. I'm... not really in that headspace yet. It might be a good idea to get into it.
- Explained fanfic and copyright to the children. Tried to, anyway. It arose from them overhearing me tell the story of the fanfic author who asked for donations to Chris. Little ears, I swear.
- Cannot seem to put together multi-idea sentences with multisyllabic words. ::shrug:: Simple is good.
- Started thinking about public breastfeeding the other day, in relation to fanfic. Yes, there is a connection, to me. Don't worry, you won't be able to figure it out ;)
- And speaking of fanfic, my discovery of fanart the other day led me to the following:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince fanart
I'm so jealous. I can't do people poses worth a damn. Faces are about all I can manage; getting limbs to look anything like they belong to people and not oddly jointed mannequins is just impossible for me.
