Off-target

   I'm trying out an open source, vector-based drawing application--Inkscape--since I am pretty much useless with a pencil. I want to convert images from photos or from my feeble attempts with a pencil into plain black and white in order to make stencils or other block print designs for the cloth that I've been dyeing.
   So the whole evening has gone to playing with filters and figuring out what button does a job I vaguely remember a similar button doing in Illustrator. Because I have so much time on my hands to learn another program that I won't have time to use.
   I have a real talent for finding tangents and rabbit holes and almost no talent at all for approaching any actual goal.

   But at least I was able to make a graphic about it.

   This is going to be a very busy work week, so I don't expect to have any more time to think about this. Come on, weekend!

A real rabbit hole, I presume.
   The thing about rabbit holes is that there is never only one way out. More paths than destinations.

about rabbit holes:
more paths than destinations
easy to get lost

   Yup. I really haikued that. Or I really didn't.
