I spent the past few days painting. I had forgotten how much I love _doing_ art -- for a moment, Portland made me believe that I only enjoyed looking at it. In any case, I'm almost done with my first ever oil paintings. Too exciting for words to describe.
I also spent some time last night re-thinking my cube. It is small... maybe an inch by an inch by an inch. It's clear, transparent, made of either crystal or glass. It's hollow, I think, but one cannot be too sure. It has wings on it, and it's flying around in the air -- much like the snitch (of Harry Potter fame). The ladder is vertical and is wooden, with an ordinary number of rungs... it is also moving, trying to catch the cube. The horse is standing far off in the distance -- a black stallion (or thoroughbred... not really sure... it's too far away to tell). It is just staring at the cube and the ladder. The flowers consist of just one -- a red simple flower with petals and a yellow center. It is a picked flower and it is lying on the sand, underneath the horse. The storm is a sandstorm blowing through the area -- it adds an obstacle to the melee going on between the cube and the ladder, but somehow, the horse and the flower are not affected. The storm seems to blow around them -- there's almost a bubble of protection around the horse and the flower. It is dusk; the sun is setting, and in the background, the most beautiful sunset one may ever see paints the sky. The sand in front of it is all dark, and a silhouette of plateaus and other desert mountains line the horizon. If you don't understand, I'll read you The Cube one day, and if you do, you can help me interpret it.

Oh yeah, there was snow on the ground in the desert on the way to Vegas. It was pretty darn cool.

Vacations _are_ to escape. Things were nice this weekend. We have the most fun as a family when we go on trips. The car ride is especially amusing. Then, we got home, and I realized the gravity (not 9.8 m/s^2) of the situation. I wish we could just stay in Vegas forever and forget about everything.
As for the trip, I spent about $12 there -- hardly anything, for the amount of time I spent on the Midway. I won a bunch of stuffed animal flowers and a couple of monkeys for $10 at Circus Circus. It took me $1 to win the horse race (and get a giant gorilla-sort-of-lookin'-thing). Then, we went to Excalibur, where it took me $2 to win a giant flower stuffed animal for catching 6 of the 6 balls from the SkatterBall game. I think I've outgrown those carnival games; although it'd be a different story if someone else were winning those plush toys for me.
We got home last night at midnight. Back to the real world.
