Kitten n Bits @dontsharesmokes - Tumblr Blog

I know I have all but abandoned this blog and no one will probably see this but I wanted someplace to write this down to remember for later.

I was struggling with anxiety and racing thoughts this morning right when I woke up, like an hour before my alarm. I tried my meditation app and got my thoughts under control to a point. But the rest of the morning felt like routine was keeping me together.

However, I was met with a very pleasant interaction when I got to work that made me tear up. It wasn’t much, but one of the security guards caught my attention. He asked me where my glasses were and I tried to quickly say that they were computer glasses and I had given up on them.

What he said next is what struck me. “I don’t want you to think people don’t notice. I see you. I noticed.”

Hopefully, I can use that little spark of connection to carry me through today and beyond.

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave”

at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it

This is all I’ve done so far! I cringed at the idea of doing a comparison because my own art looks terrible when compared to the original masterpieces, but since others have done it I figured I may as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The most fun part about doing these pieces is that I feel I’m exploring the original painters’ mind a little. And hopefully learning something from them in the process! :P

Woop woop, I’m back from the dead for a little bit.

Life Update: for those of you who care, the boy that asked me out through pokemon and I are celebrating our 6-month anniversary and the bullymake box of toys and treats that I got for my dog entertained her for about 15 minutes before she went back to chewing a dirty sock and then a TV remote.

Below are pics of both : )
