The Fates Think I'm Fat

I went to lunch with my good friend, Brian, today. We decided to get out of our Mexican food rut and ventured into the yummy land of Chinese fare.

This seemed like a great idea. Three courses and a waitress all for the super low lunch special price - woo hoo! Chopsticks added a lot of entertainment (at least for Brian who got to laugh at my attempt to use them.) Sweet and sour chicken, good converstation, and a chance to catch up with an old friend -- It's all fabulous!

And then came the best part (or so I thought): free desert! A "oh yay! Fortune cookies!" type squeal of joy flew out of my mouth when they were dropped off. I was excited. Was excited, until we opened them.....

Assignment #1

"Creativity lurks in the vision of a slightly skewed perspective" - Caffeine for the Creative Mind (here after: CFTCM)
(I think for the most part I am going to keep this little project in Xanga - but I figured I would post this first one a little more broadly so that anyone that wants to follow along/be a part of it can. We'll see how it goes but please check back and see how things are going.)

I got the above book yesterday and I am going to start using it. It is full of little assignments to get your creativity more in shape. I was thinking of posting all of them.. but it might be better to just pick my favorite one from every week - partly because I know I probably will miss a day or two and because I don't want to put the entire book online. Go get your own - its a good one!

Yip Yip Hooray for accountability! Please add suggestions/critiques and your own version of the assignment as often as you like. Hopefully this will inspire more writing in general from me as well. (also if anyone wants to get me a digital drawing tablet I would love you forever :P)

Also, I just finished reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and would highly recommend it to anyone that is "trying to figure out what the heck to do with my life"

Assignment #1: "Pimp out a Red Wagon"
