I bought some canvases today. And they were cheaper than it said on the price label, so that was good (especially since I am short of cash at the moment - and this is my own fault). I didn't really need them (seriously, I have a short list of things I can paint on that include various forms of canvas), but I wanted them. This is my problem with art supplies.
(I'm tempted to go back and get more while they're still cheap, but I don't have the storage space).
I'm thinking about taking one and just throwing paint on it and seeing what happens. I seriously need to get over my fear of not being able to undo stuff (one of the main reasons I don't paint more often, aside from the fact that I have little floor space*). Also thought about doing a self portrait, but the thought of staring at myself in the mirror fills me with dread.
So, in short, I don't know what I'm going to do with them.

I'm having trouble sleeping at the moment. YAY INSOMNIA.
The stupid thing is, I can sleep well during the day but it gets to night time, and suddenly I'm awake. Even if I've been down stairs, feeling drowsy, I get to upstairs, and bang! I am awake again. I'm half tempted to just let my sleep cycle do its own thing at the moment and hope it will work itself out, but I know from past experience that that won't happen. Or, knowing my luck, it will this time, and I'll manage to monumentally fuck up my sleep cycle completely. Forever. 'Cause that would be my luck right there.
(Me and the cat curl up on my bed in an afternoon sometimes and we sleep for several hours. I'm told it looks adorable, but I wouldn't know, since I, uh, tend to be asleep at the time).
I know you guys don't care about my insomnia, but I need to talk about it because it is doing my head in.

Oh yes, looking up fairy tales on TV Tropes was such a good idea! (And it wasn't what I went on there to look up. Damn you, TVT!)

*I infinitely prefer to sit on the floor and paint rather than use an easel. Working vertically just seems alien to me.
