I am painting roses:

A billion and three roses, and at my current rate, the level of detail and the size, it shall take me seventeen years.

Wow, but it will be WORTH IT! That is SO awesome.

I did something like that once.

I got to about this stage and said "I think this is a black and white painting."

Ah I love love love roses, Ellen this is just divine! I can't wait to see the finished piece. And I totally feel for you, I still get a nervous twitch whenever I see a koi tattoo, after doing Frank for about 40 freaking hours. http://Meggyb.deviantart.com/art/Frank-Dragon-Koi-Tattoo-93921286 grraaaaaaaaauuugh

Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.... Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

YAY! *laughs* Ok, this was pretty funny, because reading this this morning, I got the 'did I say 17 years? I meant 17 decades' first, and then the Turtle Club update (Oh. My. God. TURTLE CLUB. OM NOM NOM! is it still brilliant?) and finally this. :)

YAY!

It is still AMAZING. I had salad and crab in the shell and prime rib (ordered rare and brought home as leftover to reheat. :P) and escargo and pepperjack sticks and prawns and chicken fingers and chocolate peppermint candy cheesecake. It was to die for.
