I really dig Clio Chiang's art (and she is a regular participant at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Am I bourgeois yet?
Jun. 2nd, 2003 04:09 pmI own a painting now.
It's not a lithograph but an honest to-gawd-oil-on-canvas painting.
One of Jon's old coworkers was having an Open Studio last weekend. I bought a small painting of an apple and tea cup on some rumpled silk. It's a painting I've been coveting for the last couple of years. I figured I can afford it now so why the hell not.
I don't know where I'm going to put it, but it's certainly a very grown-up thing to have.
So yeah, I own a Lin Salamo original. (Unfortunately my painting isn't on her web site but I'm awfully fond of the "blue bowl with green peppers" painting that is on the site.)
Of course, it's been a spend-too-much-money kind of weekend.
Damn you, Oprah! I now own two t-shirts that are as soft as bunnies. I'm sure I paid too much for them but we'll see how long they last. The real funny thing is I also bought the shirts for the double-fandom connection: one of the co-creators of the C+C California t-shirts is Claire Stansfield who played Alti on Xena and the Jersey Devil on the X-Files.
Heh. I'm such a fandom whore.

I think retail broke me, or at least it ate my soul.
With the exception of doodling when I go to restaurants where they give you crayons and encourage patrons to draw on the butcher paper tablecloths, I haven't done any drawing in the last two years.
Listen, kids, keep your souls! Don't work retail!
Currently, I'm very envious of the folks atpantsketch.
There are too many movies I want to see coming out this summer. I already have tickets to The Matrix Reloaded for a late Thursday show. Down with Love is coming out this Friday (I loved the old Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies when I was younger). Then we having Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Caribbean (d00d, the kitsch!). And I don't know why but I kind of want to see Bruce Almighty.
Plus, Raising Victor Vargas, The Good Thief, A Mighty Wind and Holes are already out.
