yesterday's class was terrific. i thought i had been doing roman caps all wrong because they seemed so flat and uninteresting. i was so frustrated, in fact, that i started drawing them like versals and adding serifs. but seeing everyone else's work, even the work of people i admire, made me realize that i was doing okay. and after explaining the process i had gone through comparing my freehand letters to the ones i had traced over the forms, i even got one of teri martin's "homework" pieces. :)
at lunch, terrilynn and i ran to j. jill and bought several shirts and pants. unfortunately, we didn't have time to try anything on, and their "large" sizes must be for very small women. :) but i got two cute "hidden message" tshirts. not that i need more shirts; what i really need are more pants. that fit. :P
i came home energized and ready to work more on roman caps. i thought i might go for a walk later, too, so i started to transfer more songs to the archos. that stupid archos took up the rest of my night! it crashed the computer three times (and no messages in the console log to troubleshoot, just bam! please restart.). arrrggghhh.......
but today i'm going to an edible book tea! i have no idea what it will be like, but i don't know if it gets any better than edible books. :) then terrilynn & i will return a big chunk of the clothes we bought (nothing fit her, either), and then dinner w/ terrilynn & brian. so no practicing for me today! but at least i'm doing fun stuff.
