I didnt study at all this weekend (I was also off this whole weekend, too) and my test is in three hours! What was I thinking.. I hate this feeling. My fault though.

My procrastination in my latest course is pretty hare-brained. I’m in a grad program with 8 week intensive courses, so I waited until the last 10 days to get everything done. What was I thinking? I wasn’t thinking- that’s the problem.

I have a paper do today. I put it off for the last week and now I’m rushing to finish. Good thing all of my classes today are canceled from the snow.

Spent the night at my boyfriend’s apartment without making sure my father was informed.

I bet £10,000 on black. I’d watched too many Wes Snipes movies. Lost.

@Darwin well, I called my mom to get her say-so and yet she somehow neglected to pass on that information to my father. So it’s on her, not me.

@Lightlyseared poor baby! Lurve!

I tried to imitate a little girl doing a waltz jump, without thinking that I was nothing like a little girl. I landed hard on my hip, and probably have bruised the bone. Can anyone spell arthritis?

…you guys make me lol.
I put my electric heater on, started to smell that disgusting burnt rubber smell and neglected to realize why it was beginning to smell like that until 15 minutes later. I just shut the heater off, we’re okay now.

I put one of my oil paintings in the oven overnight with the light on only (helps the paint cure faster)

Unfortunatley I forgot to put a note on the door as I usually do. This morning my teen cranked the oven up to 375 and an odd nasty odor wafted through the house.

Suddenly I realized what it had to be and raced downstairs and- with oven mitt – removed the cooking painting.

It is now fine- except it appears to be aged- it has a slightly antiqued sepia look about it.
Can’t sell it as I have no idea what the long-term effects on the paint will be.

@Dog There are experts in painting forgery. Maybe you could find one and ask them about the long term impact of this treatment?

Dog's avatar

@daloon great idea- wonder how hard it would be to find admitted art forgers. :)

I’m a promoter of spiritual films. For my latest film, the director is still working on raising the money, so he wasn’t able to hire me when he said he would. My hare-brained idea: let me help you raise the money! So now here I am, a producer, trying to raise money, feeling intimidated and out of my league. I hope it works out!

@Trustinglife – But being a film producer sounds so good on your resume!

Trustinglife's avatar

Thanks! The title comes only if I can pull this off.

@Dog: I’m not sure if you’re joking or not. I meant the academics who look at art to certify it is not a forgery. They know all the forgers’ tricks (well, that’s what they want us to believe) and have some information about how to make a contemporary work look much older.

Dog's avatar

@daloon- while I was kidding previously you have a brilliant post here. I will contact one of the conservators and ask about the effect of baking oil paint. Many thanks!

@Dog: Who knows? It might become your signature element to a painting. ;-)
