Keeping myself awake

Sketchbook, 2009.07.12

This morning I tried sketching my water bottle and my desk fan in order to try and keep myself awake, but failed miserably. You can kind of tell I was dozing off by the way the strokes wander off in places or make dark patches for no apparent reason.

I was up late last night.

The reason I was up late last night is this: I was having a fabulous time, thank you very much.

A group of friends and I visited a Turkish joint, Cafe Istanbul, and lounged about on the floor cushions smoking hookahs, stuffing our faces, and ogleing the gorgeous belly dancer. It was wonderfully decadent.

My alertness has suffered for it this morning but I think you’ll agree it was totally worth it.
