Alternate universe.

Either that or the odd mental post...I know that you are aiming for THIS but you NEED to aim for THIS COMPLETELY RANDOM AND IDIOTIC THING.
Had that happen a couple of times, too.
It doesn't make it any less anoying though 
I know it's not a world-stopping event, and it's a bit childish to moan about it, but in my topics it's my party and my turn to show off, me me me me me.
While I'm here, having a kvetch: I enrolled at an introductory painting class in Belfast, back in August. (that is, painting pictures, not minis) Over £80 quid for twelve classes, plus roughly a tenner of fuel to get there and back each time.
Billed as "for enthusiastic beginners and practising artists alike", so I thought it'd be basic but still with some depth. Six classes in, I've copied a couple of the teacher's own partly-abstract watercolour paintings ("take some blue for the sea... make some strokes... now put a bit of green in it") and 'learned' how to mix and blend black & white paint. The best day was when the teacher was off and the class got to what they liked. The other students were surprised, 'cos up until then the basic nature of the course and classes didn't offer any indication that I could 'already draw'.
It is as it's named - an 'Introduction to Painting'. Only I was expecting an introduction like still life, composition, a bit of colour theory, etc. "This is grisaille and this is alla prima", rather than "this is paint and this is called a brush."
It's not cutting the mustard for me. I sent off an email to the centre, see if I can get out of it and and stuck into one of the weekend workshops, but still waiting for a response. It'll be a nice waste of money if I can't, because either way I don't think I can be bothered turning up for the rest of the classes.
