Ideas, schmideas

At the moment, I'm trying to think of ideas for the fourth nine weeks, or possibly to replace some from this section. I'm not really doing that well. I do sometimes come up with interesting plans, but that's usually at midnight when I can't sleep, but I'm too lazy to write them down, so they never truly come to fruition. I do know that I want to do some self portraits though. I know they need to be in color, possibly muted or bright depending on what statement I'm trying to make, but I was thinking I might use crayon. I'm no t really sure if that would work. I plan on playing around with it at some point in the next few weeks, but we'll see.
Also, I've been watching a lot of the Oprah channel, because I can't find the remote, and there was a show about children with schizophrenia and it really got me thinking about how little we deal with problems like that as a society. When we think of diseases like that, it's usually over dramatized and they're all crazy chanting nonsense, but that's really not it. We also don't think about children having these problems because we have the naive mentality that all children are happy and perfect beings of rainbows and butterflies. I'm not really sure how that will be incorporated into a project, but yeah. That's what I've been thinking about.
