Chromebook Tab Amnesty today, woooooo!

I was supposed to do a lot of art over the last two weeks. homework for the art class I am taking at mission college with Jeff.

adhd makes it so a lot of the time i have to basically stomp my way through planning A Thing.
right now i am writing a list of the steps i need to take and goals i want to try to complete today.

* make a shared folder for photo references
* move already-downloaded references
* go find and download the rest of the face references
* then put THOSE in the shared folder too
* pick two nose-mouth models and draw them
* pick one shot of Michael Sheen as Aziraphale to try to draw a headshot.
* draw that headshot
.
.
.
profit?

or well, be able to show some homework in tomorrow's Zoom meeting with Prof. Rivera.

uggghhhhhhh

it's funner and easier playing Animal Crossing or reading fic.

I did do a minorly effortful public artistic offering. the full moon was yesterday, and wednesday night i offered single-card tarot readings to facebook friends. Powered through something like 40.

(thank the gods for the Osho Zen Tarot app and screenshots)
Sometimes reading tarot can be very effortful and exhausting, I just decided to tread lightly, take the first impression, and run from card to card to card, holding focus on each individual just long enough to make and interpret the reading.

I think it let me use the leftover energy Ive had hanging about myself as I always do when it's hard to find purpose or to focus on my own behalf. I can usually focus for others. And Wednesday/Thursday being the Supermoon it just felt like I was riding that energy straight through the whole process. took less than two hours, I think.

okay. time to get back to work on collecting all my photo references.

more later!

for my future reference. I CAN make risotto with out Jeff in the house helping. W00+!

Tonight's Ingredients:

Butter, 2 dollops (administered separately)
one small fresh jalapeno, finely diced with seeds
one med yellow onion, diced
one portobello mushroom, randomly chopped =)
2 cups arborio rice.
2 cups white wine (TJ's Honey Moon Viognier, tasty!)
4 cups TJ's chicken broth (used the whole carton)
handful of dried oregano, crumbled
handful of dried parsley, crumbled,
handful of fresh basil
double handsfull of Pecorino Romano /Parmesan blend, or to taste

You need a 12" fry pan and an 8 cup pot for boiling the broth.

(Prep work of dicing already complete)
Start the wine and the broth on boiling in the sauce pan. Start butter dollop one melting in the frypan.
add jalapeno, & onion to fry pan till onions are translucent. add portobello.
Remove veggies from pan to a bowl, second dollop butter into fry pan, add the 2 c. arborio rice. Saute on med. heat till grains start to become translucent. By this time the broth/wine should be boiling. Turn it off. Ladle about 1/2 cup of broth into the frypan with the rice. Stir till mostly evaporated/absorbed.
Lather rinse repeat till half your broth is gone. Add the veggies back in, crumble the oregano and parsley in, new ladle of broth, mix thoroughly. Taste rice from time to time to check on desired done-ness.
Just before you add the last bit of broth, ready your parmesan/romano blend. bung in the broth, stir, add the basil, stir, add the cheese, stir till it's not wet, turn off the gas. Let it hang out for a couple minutes, bung a whole bunch of it in a bowl, pour the rest of the viognier to enjoy with your dinner, and, of course...

blog about it on Livejournal.

heh.
