Lazy Sunday at the Book Store

8/5/07 -- Since Saturday was spent in the sun volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, we decided to spend today relaxing with some good reading.

Once or twice a month we really enjoy going to either Borders or Barnes and Noble and spending a few hours with a frappuccino, a deli sandwich and a stack of magazines and books we're too cheap to buy.

While Vickie paroozes an assortment of women's magazines and investment books, I dive in to videography, Photoshop and marketing magazines.

Vickie has always wanted me to do an Andy Warhol type poster of her to hang in our front room (which is very retro).

While going through a Photoshop magazine I read an article on how to replicate Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe painting.

I took the above photo of Vickie and decided to try to use it to create some pop art.

You can see the results didn't turn out too bad. I can't wait to take this to Sam's tomorrow and have them print a poster size print to hang on the wall!

After a few hours of literature, we stopped by my folks' house to pick up a couple of koi that had outgrown their patio pond and transfer them to our larger pond (photos coming soon).

Once home it was the perfect time to snuggle up on the couch and watch a few movies... 300 (4/5), Ghost Rider (2/5) and PathFinder (2/5).
