I'm still reading Sprout. Haven't really done much reading at all this week because we've all been sick. I hate being sick. I was supposed to meet up with friends in NYC tomorrow and I can't make it because we're all sick here:(
Well I received two books in the mail this week.

Want to get someone’s attention subconciously, want to get on someone’s nerves? You need to annoy them, and here is how you can do it.
1) Crack your knuckles/toes. Cracking your knuckles is easier and more common, but if you can crack your toes, that really gets their spine tingling. Not only is it not common, it sounds louder and more painful.
2) Bite your nails. Just the sound of that can drive some people insane.
3) Keep staring at a certain part of someone’s body. For instance, pretend you see a giant zit on someone’s cheek and keep staring at it to the point where they need to move away.
4) Be sloppy. Untuck your shirt halfway, have a milk mustache, and have long fingernails (if you’re a guy) all at the same time.
5) Last but not least, Talk! Talk about anything and everything. See an ant, talk about it. It must be touch for ants, huh? Is that a tree? What a nice tree. You’re nice; why are you so nice, it’s amazing! You know what’s amazing? Magicians. It’s not real magic though. It looks like it though, but it’s just tricks. Like in the song, you know, sing with me. “It’s tricky! It’s tricky!”. What you don’t like singing? It’s good for the heart….and so on.

Have spent the last couple of days catching up on 'real life' stuff -- it tends to intrude every once in a while, unfortunately. Was exhausted yesterday afternoon and my mind was far too fuzzy to tackle any serious drawing (or the work that's piling up again!) but my fingers were feeling fidgety so they decided to doodle this while I blankly watched the small screen ... I didn't completely disapprove of it so thought I'd post it ... a sweet, simple doodle :)
