my website's done! www.nikileist.com

i painted some this weekend. will more either today or tomorrow too.

hey january, see you next week.

i've never really been one to make resolutions, but these are some things i'm planning on doing this year:

1/ i'm signing up for a sprint triathlon. it's a 300 yard swim, 10.5 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run. these numbers might not seem like a lot, but i think it's something completely out of character for me to do... and it's something for me to look forward to. and it's good for me.

2/ i'm going to make a schedule for myself to make art. i have (almost) a permanent schedule at my job, which means that i can make a permanent schedule to make art. and i have no excuses to not stick to it. i'm cleaning out my space and organizing everything (starting tonight) because my biggest excuse is that i don't have space.

3/ i'm going to start shopping for myself and cooking more. since moving back home i don't do that anymore. i like cooking. i like eating healthy. why not?

i'm starting where i left off. except maybe even farther back than that. i'm starting small because that's what i can afford, and hopefully what others can afford too. i'm starting with familiar colors and a familiar process in the hopes that it will lead me to something new. it doesn't really matter where i'm starting; it matters that i have started.

sometimes you just need to GET OUT... and i am while i can.

today at work i spilled a huge glass of iced tea all over a customer. luckily he was nice and told me it was okay because he was already wet from the pouring rain. i got a $10 tip anyway.

then i decided to tell my managers that i'm not finishing my two weeks, and went home and booked a flight to Los Angeles... for $10.

be back in time for my new job!!
