In The News

What a gloomy Saturday morning. Jason is at the gym and was so kind to go buy me my newspaper this morning.

27 days of soberness including no smoking, 17 days of blogging continually, and now I am 5 days into my 30 day commitment of working on a project called Little Girls: In The News. For 30 days straight, I will read the LA Times; from it, I will create a piece of art with something that inspires me.

On July 27th while riding a stationary bicycle at the gym, I got the idea. I don't always read the newspaper, but it's a treat to do it every now and then (cover to cover). So far, it's been cool to wake up feeling curious about what I will encounter in the paper. This morning, there wasn't anything that truly caught my eye so I chose to do the piece on an ad of Angelina Jolie's movie Salt

The piece here is titled "Little Mexican Girl." As you can see, it's an article of the Arizona law, the day prior to it going into effect.

What else can I do for 30 days? I am thinking about NOT biting my nails. For as long as I can remember, I've been doing it; most of the times, I'm not even aware of doing so. I wonder if it drives Jason crazy.

I am hoping for a little sunshine, oops, I forgot to check out the weather section.

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
