Reading Update
Journal Spilling: Mixed-Media Techniques for Free Expression by Diana Trout. Reread. I might like this more than I did the first time I read it three years ago! Original review: Very good overview of art journaling techniques, complete with prompts at the end. “Spilling” refers to writing (or creating an art entry) without thinking about it – basically stream-of-consciousness. I liked this book enough that I’ve ordered a used copy for myself.

i have never tried taking a dip in winter. I never will. Water is freezing enough in summer

So, when you posted about the darkest timeline, did you wear your felt black goatee?
Chris- I noticed a new food thing- 3 scoops of ice cream rolled up in cotton candy- like a california roll.
Not sure about that one.

100% would eat.
I have clipped the strawberry nicecream recipe to my exobrain to try in December: thank you for it!
Obama’s reading list. Sob.
Miss May is beautiful! Are her eyes really two different colors, or is that a trick of the light?
I love the Earth – Moon fire pole idea. Too bad it’s utterly impractical…
