magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

finally made it out to buy some art supplies this morning. this whole european thing of closing for a mid-day siesta is such a pain. i'm generally busy with stuff in the morning (this week it has been training library monitors) and then around d lunch time everything's closed. then when they start opening again i have italian. but i got out there this morning, everything else could wait, i needed some stuff to make art with.

i got some small pieces of handmade paper. two canvases. some tubes of acrylic paint and a few brushes. it's a start.

i've been getting headaches pretty much every night for the last few days. tonight i felt sick. i could be coming down with something, or it might just be the potentially bad chickpeas that i ate for dinner. they smelled just fine but was sort of extra slimy and a little discoloured. i might have to start buying the 55¢ cans instead of the 40¢ cans.
