| Damn impulses 2004, January 13 - 1:49 a.m.
I am far too impulsive. I truly am. I am the sort of person who can't have an amazon wishlist because I like to buy myself presents. Oh look, it seems I want that item, well I deserve it! Click, click, buy. I bought four, count 'em, four new geisha items. One of them is a movie from the seventies. I remember seeing it on TV but only for a few minutes before someone else turned the channel. I think it was my uncle John, back when I first moved in and didn't feel comfortable going into the master bedroom to watch TV. So now it will be mine, and I justify it to myself because it's a geisha item. It's furthering my knowledge of a traditional Japanese art. Yep... Well, to be honest, I do have a seminar coming up in my arts for journalists class and I have to choose an art or artist or art field to inform the class about. I have chosen geisha because it's the one topic that I know plenty about, that I'm sure everyone won't have prior knowledge of (so it should be interesting) and it's a topic I won't feel like a pretentious ass talking about. I'd feel like a pretentious ass talking about Van Gogh and his passionate brush strokes and his genious that was unappreciated in his own time, his artistic temprement and blah blah blah. Even if I now have a ginormous book all about him. As it is though... I also bought a web domain for my online portfolio and then suddenly thought better of it because I didn't understand how to use it. Now I have one on geocities and I'm trying to get a refund from the other place, as per the policy on the web site. I'm too damn impulsive! I should have waited to do such a thing. Sleep on it and what not. Brent is always telling me to sleep on things. Oh where was he today? I could have used that voice of reason. But check out my site so far. It's under construction but I'm really pleased with how it's coming along. Basically it's just a skeleton right now. Thank You - 2006, June 7
