10:56 PM: new classes and edibles and studio bits [#] [0]

sven & i were slated to begin an "intro to drawing" class at the drawing studio that we've both been curious about last saturday, but there was the whole ice storm thing, which cancelled it (alas, not before we had already driven down the quiet icy streets to discover that). so it began again this saturday, and i don't know where it's going to go next, but this session left me with graphite all over my hands and cheek, and my fingers hurt from trying to make dark black marks. nothing representational yet; it was all about making marks and shapes.

then we went to jam on hawthorne because i have a chinook book coupon for it (thanks, michaelmas!) and i want to go to more new places this year. and i remember it from when i used to do poetry readings at cafe lena's when i didn't live here yet. jam is really quite good: it's hard to find a place that has excellent hashbrowns, much less a wrap that stays together and is still tasty. the acoustics & service are good even when it's packed, and of course their jams are very good, as well. it's the first local breakfasty place i've been to that i've thought, "oo! i'll come back!" (well, i liked cameo's, too, but it's awfully far away now that i don't live downtown anymore. :( ).

tomorrow is the first artist's way group for spring. eeeeee! that's what i'm preparing for right now. and sven's busy making a glorious mess in the studio so that i will have a flat file system for paper and art (and star lamps!). it's a little too close to the wire for my tastes, but i think it will be amazing when it's finished.
