I grew up in the same house my dad grew up in, and a large part of my toddlerhood was spent rolling around on this awful mint green shag carpet that my dad had also rolled around on, and it was absolutely disgusting by the time we ripped it out. When I think of suburban [...]
1. After this review show goes up no one is allowed to talk to me for a week. Not even kidding. I am going to sleep.
2. My good friend Claire has reached rock star status and has hit the ground running and I am so so so proud of her. And I should probably [...]

I think I’m around 2 here.
Of note:
- frosting
- playdoh
- I would still totally wear that nightgown

When I moved into my parents’ basement after college, I stopped remembering my dreams at night. When I started grad school that fall, there were unwelcome exceptions, but as someone who loves to sleep strictly because of the depth of their unconscious, it was definitely a low blow.

But I think I worked it out. Installing tomorrow (TOMORROW) [...]

Well, it’s Friday night, and that means time’s up for building clay things. I’ve fired four bisque kilns this week already, just to get it out of the way and done with. One more is going up tonight, and another one’s filled with ceramic chains and is going to cone 10 so I can have [...]

After pissing around all morning and early afternoon, I am right on schedule. Glazing this crap is going to take for-fucking-ever though, especially since I’m not sure what I want. Sometimes I’m building some component and it’s like “yes, this is going to be this color..” but that hasn’t really been happening more than once [...]
