My Color Still Life

I'm taking NYU's Intro to Painting course. Last week, I focused on a little part of this still life combo; all student had to bring an object. I forgot one, so used my work shoe (not visible in photos). Please note, the above picture was only 1/2 done, but the troll still ended up looking like it was a torture survivor.

My Love Interest

Funny as it sounds, I have a female admirer from eastern europe. She wrote me:

Hello !!!
My name is Julia, I'am 30 years old.
I have contacted with dating agency to find you.
They told that we approach to each other and
I have decided to write to you! I'm lonely and not
married cute girl! If you are interested to get acquainted
with me that write to my Email: julik.for.love@hotmail.com

Seriously, WTF? I'm not into girls like that. I like my girl friends, and I don't want her. I'm not an agist or anything, it's just that she doesn't speak with correct grammar, and that drives me crazy.

Who on earth sold my email address to her? I also got one from a fake gofish account too. Go Fish Dating is perhaps the most popular free online dating website in the states. So weird.

New Bag, reflections

I understand that my beautiful Linea Pelle number (previous post) is made of leather. And yes, this has plagued me. I know it's two faced of me to not eat meat and then purchase leather goods, but it's so soft, and it looks so good. And lets get real, fake leather looks cheap. It does! Plus, I figure the cows are getting murdered anyways for the meat so I may as well take a little skin.
This is entirely unlike bunny fur, or racoon fur, which does not get eaten. Never the less, I'm still a bad person.

New Bag

"Close your eyes as you caress your new handbag for the first time, picture all the looks of longing from your green with-envy-friends and bask in the perfection of your bag. This is your moment to shine. And always remember Kataphileo...Kiss passionately, live intensely"

The above message was attached to a handbag which was delivered by FedEx. I was watching it travel via tracking number from Louisianna to NYC. I love it, although at 19" long, it's not as big as I expected. Because 19" sounds huge, but it really isn't.
