Went home from work at 11, after migraine burst through the shield wall of Advil. Came home, ate lunch, took Relpax. Finished ... er, that Forgotten Realms book that is so forgettable I've now forgotten the title. Slept from 1 to 4:30. Got up, finished The Halfling's Gem, musing that while Salvatore had lots of other issues, he finally learned how to write a proper climax, which contrasts deeply with The Forgotten Book.
Then applied myself to cleaning up my office/studio area, in an attempt to finally find Places for most of the crap piled there. Haven't completely succeeded, but at least the tabletop is cleaned off now so I will hopefully feel able to sit back at the desk and get to
yhlee's and
helen_keeble's pictures, which I am sure they are currently despairing of!
The other benefit of this cleanup is that I discovered the art show check from A-Kon, which I'd forgotten I hadn't deposited. When it arrived, it was in the wrong amount, missing two pieces. I didn't deposit it immediately wanting to wait until the discrepancy was cleared up, and when it was I'd forgotten that the check was still here. THE PERILS OF ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER, PEOPLE. I need a keeper.
I also need a box or filing thing in which to put art business paperwork, as it's mostly stored in a large pile on my desk and is now stored in a large pile on a shelf next to my desk.
Tomorrow: art class, and then off to Dallas because there's an organization recycling old computer stuff and offering hard disk destruction, and I have an old computer and dead printer to take them.

ok here's the prompt:
Your picture is set in a bath house and involves two of these three elements: a tryst, poison, or silk scarves
And here's what I have so far(took pic in the dark and it was blurry so I had to "sharpen" it a bunch so it can be seen I'll take a better image later)
this is the conversation where it formed into an idea:
[19:58] Mvmarcz: Your picture is set in a bath house and involves two of these three elements: a tryst, poison, or silk scarves.
[19:59] NJ: i like the last one the most
[20:00] Mvmarcz: i might use all three elements what do you think?
[20:00] NJ: what's a tyrst?
[20:01] Mvmarcz: 14th century
1 : an agreement (as between lovers) to meet 2 : an appointed meeting or meeting place
[20:02] NJ: btw your fire dancer eddie is finally the voting incentive this week, then i'll be using liliy's eddie and jurinjo and then your vladic. And then I think I'd finally be out of fanart incentives unless you finish the eddie and saya one by then, but I'd rather you get some avernyght done.
[20:02] NJ: you could go with all three should make a ainteresting piece
[20:04] NJ: i'm half debating wether to just go out and buy dinner tonight cause all the dishes are dirty and haven't had time to clean them. If i buy dinner I can get orion to clean them for me.
[20:04] NJ: with briibes
[20:18] Mvmarcz: treat him to foods
[20:19] Mvmarcz: so he feels bad and cleans house
[20:19] Mvmarcz: thus is the way of the woman
[20:19] Mvmarcz: yeah I just got a big panel on which to paint it, gonna look up some bathhouse images
[21:13] Mvmarcz: i finished my essay!
[21:32] Mvmarcz: i know you're prolly eatin or something but I figured my composition
[21:40] NJ: woo
[21:40] NJ: yeah we went out to a chinese place, had yummy beef and brocolli
[21:40] Mvmarcz: oooo
[21:41] Mvmarcz: sounds gooooooooooooooooood
[21:41] Mvmarcz: ok so my idea is since it's a long horizontal piece to have each end of it be a gender sectioned area of a bath house
[21:41] Mvmarcz: and in the middle in a dark corridor having two lovers meeting with a vile of poison
[21:42] Mvmarcz: I'm debating whether or not to make them just sad and in a romeo and juliet kind of motif
[21:42] Mvmarcz: or scheming and have one of them have a wedding ring and someone in one of the baths being the unlucky spouse
[21:43] NJ: or perhaps they're planning to posion her husband in the men's bath and his wife in the female
[21:43] Mvmarcz: yeah but you get the idea
[21:43] NJ: i like scheming more than tragic
[21:43] Mvmarcz: yeah tragic is so played out
[21:43] Mvmarcz: but so is scheming
[21:43] Mvmarcz: maybe tragic and scheming?
[21:43] NJ: by scheming is sexier
[21:43] NJ: but*
[21:44] NJ: well it's tragic for whoever is getting schemed at
[21:45] Mvmarcz: lol
[21:45] Mvmarcz: yeah!
[21:45] Mvmarcz: I could have the spouses all sad in the bath
[21:45] Mvmarcz: like they know
[21:45] Mvmarcz: a fate they cannot deny

I'm sorry about the headache ... .
You're reminding me that the crap is creeping back onto my desk, which I had cleaned off a couple of weekends ago. And that I am still on the old computer, while the new one is sitting here unused, no doubt getting its ribbon cables in a twist because I'm neglecting it (although iMacs are so skinny that I don't know whether they have any ribbon cables inside).
