Even Lazy Jellyfish Do It

Let's Do It - Conal Fowkes (Cole Porter Cover)

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing Spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love
 
And that's why birds do it, bees do it 
Even educated fleas do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love


In Spain, the best upper sets do it 
Lithuanians and Letts do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love


The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it 
Not to mention the Fins 
Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins


Some Argentines, without means, do it 
People say in Boston even beans do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love


Romantic sponges, they say, do it 
Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love


Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it 
Even lazy jellyfish, do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love


Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it - Waiter bring me shad roe


In shallow shores English soles do it 
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Even goldfish and beans do it, so why don't we?

Quote of The Day



"If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don’t watch it, you start showing off. And then you’re not as good any more." - J. D. Salinger (The Catcher in The Rye, chapter 17)
The hardest thing to do when you make a big size drawing, besides keeping your health always in a good shape, is maintaining your mood properly, or your drawing might not have the "mood" you want in the beginning, or you might make some mistakes you just don't wanna know. My final project is planned to be 7 drawings range from the biggest, about 2 x 1.5 m, to the smallest, about 75 x 50 cm. And you can't make a mistake in final project. Well, you may, but it has to be the kind of mistake you can fix. There is this kind of mistake you can't fix you just want to kill yourself, like a disease. Final project allows you to have a flu, headache, some back pain and all, but you just can't have HIV, or lupus, or leukimia. There has to be a "cure". 
Shit happens during final project. One of my friend's work got this disease that is very difficult to be cured, you sort of need to amputate some of it part. I've made a lot of mistakes too, but luckily, I found cures.
You see, a big drawing requires constant hatching and of course, plenty of time. This is when mood comes in the way. A bad mood screws those, then your final project is probably screwed too. Then you are screwed.
