Today's lunch is at Torch Restaurant in UP Town Center. It's an international fusion restaurant, so on their menu are fancy sushi rolls of some sort right along with pasta and burgers.

It's my brother's birthday so we went to check out Hole in the Wall, Century City Mall's fancy version of a food court. I thought it would be a good chance to use my new camera, but I quickly realized that I wasn't ready for it at all. I still have lots more to work on!

Local stores near me seem to have something against watercolorists. They never seem to stock watercolor paints and related materials, much less good quality ones, and when they do, they're gone too fast! The only way to get what you really want is to order them online, but since the postal service system where I live isn't very kind to people with anxiety (meaning: me), I long decided to stay off online shopping for the foreseeable future.

The last time I posted about my return to the world of traditional art, I said I was thinking of picking up watercolors again, so that's exactly what I ended up doing. What was intended to be a light little hobby became a rapid downward spiral to insanity—and I'm having a blast.

Today I met up with a friend I haven't seen in a long time, but in a mix of excitement and anxiety, I forgot to bring my camera's battery. (Oops!) We spent most of the time talking, though, so I doubt I would have taken a lot of pictures if I hadn't forgotten it. While we didn't go anywhere worth reporting on, I feel like writing about today anyway because we don't get to see each other often!
