It’s hard to draw with my finger.
I finally bought an iPad. The main reason was to use it as a drawing tool. Here’s my first drawing. I made it in the Paper app, which I might love more than using crayons and real paper, which is crazy I know.
I asked Dan what I should draw and he said, “The dog.”

Hipstersaurus
Hipstersaurus Rex suspects that skinny jeans were not made for all body types.
Forgive the crappy phone-camera image. This drawing has been sitting on my desk for months waiting for me to remember to bring in my scanner.

#31 Hike on Angel Island
I used to think that a PB&J was the perfect summit snack. Last weekend Sagarika introduced me to something even better…

#10 Pair-o-keets: Tikka Masala
Last Saturday, I made tikka masala paste from Jamie Oliver’s recipe and cooked it up with coconut milk, veggies and tofu. It was delicious but, um, a bit spicy…

30 before Thirty
I first got the idea to do a “30 before Thirty” from Nicole Balch the author of one of my favorite blogs. It’s sort of like a bucket list, but I have to complete all thirty items before my 30th birthday. That means to stay on track I have to complete at least one every two weeks! (Luckily some are easy and many can be done at the same time.)
I made a small adjustment to Nicole’s idea (suggested by my friend Julie): my list actually contains more than 30 items (35) but I only have to complete 30 of them. That way I can change my mind about a few of them without feeling like a failure :)
Ready. Set. Go!

The MacPup
It’s been a while since I last posted. But I have a really good excuse: a 12-pound fluffball named Ada.
Figure 1: Ada.
Since she comes to work with me, I spend my idle moments playing with her instead of drawing.
Figure 2: Ada on a day when the grass is mowed.
But she’s getting older and calmer so she needs less attention.
Figure 3: Ada on a rainy (muddy) day.
And I’m really missing the doodling. So I’m going to try to make more time for it.
Figure 4: Ada after a bath.
It feels good to be back.
