I know that this is nothing to write about, yet I can't seem to stop myself from doing it anyway. What you are looking at, above, is Vanilla-Coconut Mousse. If I left it at that perhaps you'd believe me to be creative and competent. Hmmm.. should I? Should I leave it at that then? :) Argh, I can't do it. I have to confess that it's merely a packet of Dr Oetker mix blended with half a can of coconut milk and spooned indelicately into a fruit dish. Even the photo of it is sub-par. I mean look at the way the curly-q top seems to come out of the edge of the dish there.. *sigh* but you know, the colours aren't bad. And the background makes it look like I might live somewhere lush and exotic, so you know, it could be worse.
On to the work of art I'm creating with only a third of my brain engaged:
Look at the way the vase leans awkwardly! Check out those checks! And the funny little orchid blooms which I wanted to look subtly like skulls peeking out of hoods actually look very OBVIOUSLY like skulls and unfortunately the hoods are reminiscent of a dark period in US history Well.. one or two of them are anyway.
Which reminds me..
This book happens to be sitting on the side table up in the roof observatory of the building I live in. It's about the Olympic torch run in Canada, maybe for the Montreal Olympics or something.. but... come ON! That is not the picture I would have selected for use had I been the editor, and it is not an item I would have selected for display had I been the decorator of the room, either.
So yeah, nothing brilliant up with me today. Maybe tomorrow. I think it probably takes a day or two for those motivational messages to kick in. Yeah, that's got to be right.
