January is typically a good month. We start a fresh year, it’s the month of my birthday, the weather is awesome (not too hot, not too cold). This January has been no exception. I haven’t been particularly busy. But I’ve had a photography job here and there, I’ve gone to Disneyland a few times, I’ve applied for a couple part-time jobs and and I’ve been slowly finishing some things in the house. So it’s all good. Things are good.

Even just this week has been lots of fun. On Monday, I got to attend a taping of The Ellen Degeneres Show. It was a long day with a lot of waiting, but when the show finally started, it was awesome! We even scored with the swag since it was her birthday show. Very exciting.

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon painting. I actually got my inspiration from another painting I saw and figured I’d give it a shot. Here’s how it turned out:

It’s pretty big and I have no idea where it will go, but I’ve had that blank canvas sitting around for awhile, so I’m glad I finally decided what to put on it. I hate how the Eiffel Tower turned out, but am not quite sure how to fix it. So the weirdness of it will just have to add to the character of the painting. Haha.

I also just found out that DMB announced their summer tour!!! It’s MONTHS away, but it’s time to start getting excited. I think I’m honestly a little relieved each year that they announce it, because you’re never sure when they’ll get tired of being on the road. And I’m not ready for it to end!

So here we are almost to the end of January, but 2010 is looking pretty good so far. Pre-tty, pre-tty good. Now if Conan can get back on TV sooner than later, life will be complete.
