Not feeling particularly optimistic today. No matter, hands on tools.

Had a short bouldering session last night with Tom, made small progress on an overhanging climb and little progress on a another. Wore a modified sports mouth guard last night to bed, as a grind protector. It was okay, I need to cut some more bits off.

Some days I am filled with energy and excitement and the future opens up before me, the opposite of Benjamin Walters Angel of History. Today the mind feels stuffy and plain. A cowboy riding left to right, smoking. The sun is up and there are birds in the sky. Text reads: some days all you can do is ride around the desert

Luckily my room needs a clean, and I have other chores to do, so I might get on to doing them.

Gargoyles gargling oil

Yesterday I drew up 10 drafts for gag cartoons to send to the New Yorker. I don't hold much hope for any of them getting picked, but you can't win the lotto if you don't buy a ticket. The trickiest ones are the ones with figures, I haven't got a great human figure charicature nailed down just yet. The funniest ones are the ones with animals, or fruit. In a perfect world, that's all I would draw, but it feels necessary to do a variety at first. I hope they don't take too long to draw up, I don't want to spend a lot of time on them.
