I was in the basement with Grandma working on the 2,000 piece puzzle and got to talking with her about fear of uncovered windows at night and the perils of an overactive imagination. Then I realized that I have been firmly Not Letting It Get To Me lately and the imagination is not such a handicap after all. I can to some extent divorce myself from emotion, and, while I know I am afraid, I ignore it, and watching SciFi Friday I even forget the windows. So, go me for dissociation. Rationality does not, of course, come much into play in those circumstances, but controlling emotions can be helpful.
Had Liz and the mini-Lizzes over today. I really enjoy spending time with both you and your family, Liz. We did some puzzling (it's hard to walk by and even harder to get up from a puzzle like that) and then we watched the first part of the Fushigi Yuugi OVA. Despite their airing on AZN TV, I managed to rather consistently forget to watch them, so it was mostly new to both of us. Plus, not dubbed since on her DVD. Again, nostalgia and time warp. I can't remember if the original series had so much slapstick humor. Liz terrified me with accounts of how everyone in China actually had mullets that looked just like Yu Watase hair. Then we went swimming/hot tubbing, and though I got spoiled with 91 degrees last week, 84 is warm enough in the pool when I'm playing. Fishies!
Haven't touched the drawing of Mom, but started on one of Rei. She's making a funny face anyway so I'm not worried about capturing her beauty, just her attitude. I'm obviously far from finished here.
( Rei-Rei Kissy Kissy )
Been generally frustrated and unmotivated despite my best intentions lately, but I think I'm finally getting it now. It's a turning point, deciding not to draw for the pictures but the practice. Of course, it makes me less likely to finish anything.
PS: I tend to drop the implied 'I' although it is not accepted English grammar. I wonder if this annoying anyone. I try to be reasonably articulate, and that came up a lot when reading over this entry. Also, it seems unnatural to title journal entries but I'm going to make an effort to put something to make it easier for myself to find things.
