*scribble*  
Am filling in the time between calls with drawing, as I am wont to do. Since there's a printer next to my desk, I don't have to wander far to get paper. The scarcity of drawing implements however annoys me.
I have a set square, but am reduced to drawing circles either using a glass, or an old cd.
Either way, the lack of options tends to limit ones creativity in some fashion.
I hate drawing circles freehand. They always look wonky.

The in tray on my desk is gradually filling up with exercises in perspective, drawings of feathers and trilobites. The latter have gradually gone through some sort of hyped up evolution.
Starting out completely shit, then progressing to something prehistorically terrifying, to just prehistoric, through lovecraftian/alienesque and now they're currently sitting on the page in their 'egyptian phase'
Like tiny little broaches, all blocks and defined shapes.
And I'm still not happy with the little fuckers.

And to top it all off, theres this cat, sleeping on a guys chest in my head, that wants me to tell it a story, so it can tell a guy a story.
However, theres not much I can think of really..

I have no idea what it wants to hear, and making something up off the top of my head isn't really working at the moment.

Pins and string
tie a loop in the string, put it around a pencil. Pin it to the paper - draw. Voila - circle.

Also, 2 pins mean that you can also do an ellipse - if that is your want.

Those trilobites would make amazing brooches ...

I'll send you some of the designs. :)

Or..I suppose I could get creative and start carving them out of some disks of wood or something...

*thinks*

Your last post that is not commentable is most concerning.
As in: WTF, dude?
If things were super just 12 weeks ago and not now, well, it's either you and you've gone all Gacy on them, or it's not you but the economy.
Either way, you deserve a better answer.

Fabulous start to a story. You have to write it now :)
