I learned something today. A lot of somethings.
I learned that a bearilla is a bear crossed with a gorilla. If they were in a zoo, they would be the best thing in the zoo. I recently read that all bearillas are gay. That's why there are so few of them left and you almost never see them rooting through your garbage cans for bananas and yams and jaunty leather caps.
I learned that indigo is the thing I hate most about rainbows. I was given a lovely new set of pastels and despite having several zillion colors, not a single one is called "indigo". So I used "prussian blue" even though I don't think they believe in rainbows in Prussia, if Prussia is a place. At least there was one called "red" because I kind of have a hard time with red.
I learned that while I am decent at painting (I guess), I am terrible at coloring. Actually, I already knew that. Staying in the lines is for suckers.
I learned that I am too lazy to finish this drawing.
And I learned that texting back and forth with a certain artist during the intermission of a play filled with fantastical shadow puppets makes me laugh...out loud...repeatedly. I still say the Nocturnal House was the best thing at the zoo, although bearillas may be a close second.
