Art. Art everywhere.

It's officially been a month since the move back to Batavia, and it's officially been a week since Julien has also been here. So, that has been fantastic. The past couple days, though, he has really been pushing me to do art. I've been slacking (for some unknown reason), and I have been not wanting to practice my drawing or work on my George Harrison mosaic. But he told me, "This is your career... you have to make time for it!" and that really stuck. If I want to have a career in art, I have to take it more seriously. It's not just a hobby anymore, I need to focas.

So maybe this will become an art blog slash health slash personal blog. Huh.

Tonight Julien and I watched the movie, "Domino." I liked it for many reasons.

  • The cinematography was awesome. 
  • The colors and filters were awesome.
  • Keira Knightly is hot (and you got to see her boobies!).
  • It was generally interesting. 
  • and the main character is so kick ass, you can't NOT love her. 
Domino, the main character, sticks true to herself the whole movie. It's nice to see a female character who isn't totally focused on finding love, and who does things for the greater good, not just personal gain. Plus there was guns, smoking, porn, and a sex scene.

Exercise: cleaning, DDPYoga, elliptical while watching LOST.

It begins... (again)

I have decided today is the day.

You know, what they say is 100% correct. Once you stop exercising daily, it's a million times harder to get back to exercising daily. Today I plan on starting DDPYoga and maybe get some cardio in.

Yesterday my mom and I started to look for foods with 10 or less ingredients. That, too, will be hard for me to transition into. For example, instead of opening a can of black beans, I have to boil, drain, shake, bake, broil, and sauté them. Opening up a can is much easier.

I'm keeping my My Fitness Pal account for looking up references to food when I'm out with friends or family. I don't plan on counting calories or tracking my weight using that website. Because, like I stated in previous entries, I don't want to count calories forever.
