Free-time Charlie
It's no secret that I like to make stuff. I use it as an outlet when I'm too busy to live, or when not enough work is getting done and I am frustrated, and sometimes just when I get an idea stuck in my head.
I've been channeling most of this sort of energy into cooking, but last week I ordered art supplies. Real, honest to goodness art supplies like canvas panels and acrylic paints.*
And with these art supplies, I am making a giraffe triptych for JWR. At least, it's for JWR if it turns out. Otherwise, it is a 30 dollar stress-reliever. It is modeled on a piece of artwork from Mad Men, except that it is not the 1960s, I have no hardwood or burlap, and I'm not really into tiki-art except for this one thing.
Anyway. It's several days from being completed, but here are some first glimpses.
Notes:
* Okay, acrylic paint. One color. Burnt Umber. And I accidentally bought a lot of it, because I apparently don't understand volume measurements or how to use paint.

Bronx Digs, v. 2.0
My apartment recently went from being single-occupancy to being double-occupancy; I guess that makes it "our" apartment. Such a move required a major overhaul, and the reconsideration of space.

Amazon recommends the following things to me today:
1) Solgar Folic Acid capsules, 800mcg (250 ct) -- "for your childbearing years"
2) John Jeffries Martin, Myths of Renaissance Individualism -- offering "a new typology of Renaissance selfhood which was at once collective, performative and porous"

4) Jessica Marquis, Raising Unicorns: Your Step-By-Step Guide to Running a Successful -- and Magical! -- Unicorn Farm -- "Welcome to the whimsical and very lucrative world of unicorn farming!"
and
5) Accoutrements Yodelling Pickle -- "A great gift for the person who has everything but a yodelling pickle."
Well played, Amazon. Well played.
