ARGH!!! OH. MY. GOD. Okay. So I never ever do real life drawings and today I decided to do one. So I open up my photoshop. I find an image for reference. I start drawing. Oh it was so perfect. All the lines were good, the shadowing was done well. I worked on this for about an hour okay? Human, actually. I was REALLY trying. I started coloring it. It was looking so great! And then...I tried to change the color and...and...it died. And I didn't even get to do like a screenshot. The program closed and it took me a minute to process the fact that this amazing drawing(for me anyway) was no longer there. And being in the groove, I had not thought to save it every few minutes. So I gave up for today. But isn't that a terrible sinking feeling? It doesn't matter what it is. Compositions, drawings, reports... You name it. If you've worked hard on it, forgot to save it every couple of minutes, and that program crashes... GAH. It's an awful feeling. That's when you breathe in the good Karma, and breathe out the bad. Sigh. I'm going to go and take out my anger on the grocery store. YAY cooking! *************** A FEW HOURS LATER (lol): Woo. So, I'm cooking tonight. I went to the store and picked up the stuff. I'll be cooking later on tonight. Anyway, here's the recipe for what I making(steaks with herb butter). Unsalted butter, 3 tbsp, at room temperature Fresh chives, 2 tbsp snipped Fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp minced Salt and freshly ground pepper Rib-eye steaks, 4, each about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick SERVES 4 1 Prepare the herb butter In a small dish, stir together the butter, chives, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. 2 Cook the steaks Meanwhile, prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct-heat grilling over high heat and oil the grill rack. Or, preheat a broiler (grill). Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper, patting it firmly into the meat. Place the steaks on the grill rack, or put them on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler. Cook, turning once, for 6-8 minutes total for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Divide the steaks among 4 plates, top with the herb butter, and serve. - Recipe © Williams-Sonoma, Weeknight (Part of the 'Food Made Fast' cook book collection) Anyway, I'm going to go and cook now. I'll post a critique tomorrow, lol. Other than all of that, here's what I've done today. I drew(1), I made a Twilight signature(no, I am NOT a fan), and I made Josh Groban Icons(1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Creativity. Woooo. Nighty night all. 4:13 PM
