I tried coloring today on my iPad. It was dope. Who’d have thunk it?
I downloaded the free (?) Adobe Sketch app for the iPad Pro, the one that works so well with the Pencil…downloaded it last night because I couldn’t find an “adult” coloring app in the App Store that wasn’t kinda stupid, limited, and not able to support downloading PDFs so I can color whatever the hell I want to color.
Sketch is clearly *designed* to be used by people who want to, you know, sketch. But I found I could use it just easily to color. It took me a hot minute, but once I realized you could import an “image layer,” boom, I was in business. Today I went through on my phone and found some fun images on the googles, saved them to my camera roll, and they popped up over on my iPad. Import that shit as an image layer, and boom bam! I can start coloring.
Maybe, if I stick with it, I’ll share some of my images I color. This whole adult coloring book phenomenon…which perhaps has always been around and I’m just totally unplugged…well, it’s cool. And fun. I can totally see myself listening to podcasts or audio books or music while coloring and having a fucking badass time. Yes, I said “badass.” We’re all about masculinity here on the Incrediblog.
We drove home today from ze Palm Schpringas today. It was hoooooooottttt. Though the Ho’s panda mobile has an amazing AC (just fixed not too long ago!), so we didn’t roast our butts off. 103 out there today. Gonna be 104 tomorrow. I shake my head at that. Too. Damn. Hot.
Had a fun time with Argeesht and Kristen. They were good sports and had the know-how of what to do out there that made the trip particularly enjoyable. The pups likewise had a blast, though they are definitely happy to be home. Coco, who usually spends all her time in the bedroom by herself after nighttime walkies was out with Liz and Coops and I in the living room all evening.
Tomorrow, it’s work, which I *know* will be a challenge to stay efficient, just because I’m feeling so tired today as opposed to “recharged.” But, it can’t be helped folks. Work must be done. Starting with WRITING. Looking forward to that, legitimately.
The Ho and I went to a laundromat today. I know! Weird, right, considering that we have a washer and dryer inside our unit? Well, that shit’s broken and our new one isn’t coming until Monday of NEXT week. Not tomorrow…a friggin week from tomorrow. And both of us were at the bitter, bitter end of our clean clothes. It was dire. So, we went to a laundromat and hung out together. ‘Twas glorious (and really easy!).
We dined on Coke Slurpees and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, used the 4-load machines and got in and out of there with 6 loads done in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Stellar! It was genuinely a good time 😛 My brothers and I used to do our laundry in the laundromat in downtown Ferndale (or “uptown” Ferndale, as you’d call it if you were from there). We had a washer and dryer at home, but with four boys doing their own laundry all on the same day, that’s a recipe for disaster once we got old enough for our clothes to really smell like B.O. So mama sent us to the laundromat with a fist full of quarters so we’d do our own clothes and leave her along for a couple hours. Fond memories…
Anywho, that’s all I got tonight. It was a fun, if not tiring, weekend. Looking forward to the week of work. For reals.
Let’s do it!
