By the numbers

Published Wednesday March 08, 2006 at 12:40 pm by Paul.

I was never any good at paint by numbers; I always have to have them exact. The brushes are blunt to begin with, and they get worse as you paint. And when I spend time making sure you have not gone over the lines, which becomes progressively harder, you end up running out of time. Sometimes I wish I would decide to do one quick and just be happy with the way it turns out. With stuff other than painting, which I have no natural skill at, I can actually finish them and be happy with the quality. I think I hate painting by numbers, but I will never give it up. I think this whole concept of by the numbers could relate to life in general.

The Peppermint Schnapps has to be the 90 proof one or Rumple Minze. And you must use a chilled cactus shot glass as pictured. Oh and the room is making good progress too.
