apricot mousse

For the last couple of days I've been painting my office.
When I moved into my little blue house, four years ago last August, this room, the tiniest bedroom, was a functional blue-grey. Over the past year, it's been feeling even more grey, bland and uninspiring. (One has to blame something on a creative lull.)

So, I did what I do when things are lulling, I shook it all up a bit.
After three coats of paint, my office is a lustrous new shade, apricot mousse. I love it. I expect to do lots of new work here in this color. The words will flow, the ideas will simmer and pop and my office will be a little more fun, less drudge and more sizzle.

I didn't really know what a producer did this time last year. It just seemed like a series of steps, solve one problem, solve the next, make this happen, screw that up, fix this, move on, next thing. Much of it is action packed problem solving, thinking on your feet, stuff I like. In addition, much of it involves paperwork and filing and math. This color will make that drudge seem less so. This color will remind me that in addition to some of that drudge, I've got stories to write, pictures to take, and documentaries to document!
