If you want to hear us talk about DIY on Madison radio this morning, the podcast is up. We’re at 34:50 or something. We let Lisa do most of the talking, she’s the most versed in craftivism. But I read the schedule!
My voice, not so bad as I remember.

I’m going on the radio tomorrow morning to talk about Faythe and Courtney coming next week.. I’d be more excited if I believed in my verbal skills.
I went swimming last night and really liked it, will like it more when I don’t get so tired after three laps and can sink into zen swim mode.

Just tests, but! Can’t wait to glaze, white clay rocks. Too much grog in these, though.

I never [...]
I just started listening to this band from Seattle called Fleet Foxes and it’s pretty much perfection. It’s like a 70s thing/chamber orchestra is playing for your picnic. I have been listening to them non-stop since yesterday afternoon, they sound especially great cranked up in my studio. It’s making me pretty happy, putting me in [...]
Today was great. It snowed again. It’s payday.
AND:
I am the proud owner of a billion (40) issues of Martha Stewart Living, 1995-1999 (the good old days). I was standing at the bus stop waiting to take them back to my studio (see pix) thinking that if a car spun out and came flying at me, [...]

I just finished season 4. Had two thoughts.
1. I lived in the middle of all that action for four years and it never touched me once (directly). The MICA campus area (Bolton Hill) is notorious for muggings and other stuff like that, and I was surprised at how much of the stuff on this past [...]
