A pencil cartoon?
I thought it might be fun to make a cartoon with a pencil as the main character. I’m not sure if it’d be an animation or a comic strip or something else. There’s potential in the idea, I just have to find it and then make something of it.

Visiting the AGO Again
It was so nice to go to the Art Gallery of Ontario tonight. It’s something that I’ve been missing for too long. I was anxious to get there, and I left feeling relaxed and satisfied. Art is a powerful thing.

I Went to Medieval Times
I went to Medieval Times for the first time on Saturday. A friend of mine organised the event for his birthday. It’s not something I would ever have thought to do to celebrate a birthday. But, that’s why we have friends…to share new experiences with.

I Have Read The Brothers Karamazov
After about a dozen failed attempts over about ten years, I have finally managed to read The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It took me just over a month to read it but it was worth it. It’s a great book.

Oh, O’Keeffe
I went to go see the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition last Friday night. I was hoping to have gone with someone but, as it turns out, I’m really glad that I went on my own. It was great to be alone, standing amongst a small crowd, with the pieces on display.
