Hey Maraya!

Thank you for joining for my roommate birthday party, it felt really good to have you there. Lets sleep over party sometime very soon. 

Congratulations on your accountability list completion. Is that 3 total now? or 4? Soon we'll be taking a beautiful and breathtaking journey to the most fantastic and car accesible location possible. Side note: I'm still mulling over the gifting circle. Money and me. . . we have it rough. Give me a little more time. I'm digging your meta narrative, can't wait to see the next and the next and the next versions. 

I finished my list too! I'd grade myself a B+, which is a huge improvement. Should we set up a blog for just us on our accountability lists? We could set it up so only you and I have access to it view and write it in. We'd have more of an organized record of our achievements. We could make a point to write a bit on each check off the list. It'd be more work, but I can see it as a potent self reflective tool that is different than a personal journal in it's singular purpose. 

1. Rough out one painting of family series - Come to my studio sometimes and I'll show you what i'm twerking with. 

2. Figure drawing session - saturday morning, 9-12, busty blonde nude

3. Call Anna - didn't answer but still arranged a lunch date

4. Call Josie - didn't answer i'll call her later

5. Read Asian Amer Chapters 3 - 5 - yes done did that, i think i'm really racist. i'm confused

6. 4 ink drawings - ink and water color drawings, felt really good getting into it

7. Buy Stretchers/Canvas for 1 more family painting - that shits expensive
