Artyness.
Girlfriend bought herself some cheap watercolors and paper on Friday. I had big plans on being an antisocial artist all weekend, but on the way home I ran into a friend on the tram who asked what was up that night. He lives a couple of blocks away, but it always surprises me when I see people I know just around town. Not that I know that much of the population here, but for a big city it's really not. Anyway, the FOMO (fear of missing out) beat the creative streak. I did start up in the afternoon before going out though. Got dinner and told bad jokes for hours in one of many bars in Zizkov. Worked a little more on Saturday, then went to a birthday party for a guy I met a week ago. Sunday I was definitely going to be an antisocial artist, but a friend was making an uber breakfast for her roommates and whoever crashed at their place the night before so I went over. But YESTERDAY, I finished. Alas, I missed Sci-Fi Night, but I wasn't really feeling like taking the trek of switching metros anyway. Battlestar Galactica isn't doing much for me anyway.
ANYway, kinda based on a photo I took in an alley in Vinohrady. I kind of crapped out halfway through, and I find the colors very distressing, but it was just nice to push paint around again.
Have some more Arcade Fire. Just because. New Radiohead album coming out soon too!
Your atmospheric perspective is admirable.
