It's a boy!

Well, didn't know what toput in the title. So you can all relax, there is no kid in my life.
So, good morning everybody, I'm glad to be back. As my last post said I have been very busy painting, to the point where I did little else except for going to work, walking the dog, and eating. The grand finale was friday night when I spent 13 hours straight painting till 7:30 in the morning, which left me with a wealthy 1 hour sleep before I had to go to the tournament. I guess some people love their hobbies a bit too much (me?). But anyway, I got the job done, and the tournament itself was a real blast. I got my ass handed to me for the first three games though (but always very politely), before somewhat salvaging the remnants of my pride and stomping on someone in the last game. But everyone was a great sport and it was an overall great gaming day.

As an added bonus, the Ottawa audition to 'Canadian Idol' was taking place in the same mall, and several thousand hopefuls had made it there (one of our gaming friends went too!). While some seemed like they actuallly knew how to sing or play an instrument of some kind, the vast majority did not, and a sizeable portion were simply ridiculous, either in their attitudes or attire, and we got a good few laughs out of them. Oh cynical, cynical Nick.

Anyway, Last night was the first in 3 weeks that I didn't have to paint, so I watched scrubs and went to bed. Felt pretty good, but I miss my brushes already. I'm giving myself one more day, and I'll get back to it tomorrow - without a deadline this time! Although there is this tournament in a month and a half...
