It seems that the key to my creativity is having long, horrifyingly boring books that I'm supposed to be reading for class! Here's a doodle from late last night and early this morning (anyone who wonders what I look like bald, here you go). Interestingly enough, after I uploaded it a few minutes ago I decided to sift through my webspace to clear out old files and found this picture from summer '01 that has a similar pose. It makes me feel good to know that after two and a half years, I can now do (and do better) in a dumb time-killing doodle what I used to have to agonize over in my sketchbook. On the other hand there's also the fact that I still can't capture a lot of what I envision and am light years behind where I'd like to be, but hey.

I found out today that my next CT scan and the surgery to remove the portacath from my chest have been moved up a week, to March 3rd. After this post I will be trying not to think about it.

After work I went over to Matt's (conveniently located right down the street) and we made dinner. This Saturday I'm helping him pick out a new computer, a leather recliner and a home gym, and Sunday we're heading to Atlanta to have lunch with my sister and bro-in-law; it should be a lot of fun. Just one failed Lit-reading quiz to go before my weekend starts...
