Reading Update
An Illustrated Life: Drawing Inspiration from the Private Sketchbooks of Artists, Illustrators and Designers by Danny Gregory. Good look at the journals/sketchbooks of 50 different artistically minded people, including (in their own words) how long they’ve been keeping a journal, why they keep up the habit, and their preferred materials.

A recent post from blodeuedd..Pride and Prejudice Thursday: Chosen and Geogiana Darcy’s Diary
I have to admit that when I got up this morning, I would never have expected to see a T-Rex riding a horse kicking a soccer ball.
I’ll see your Lake Superior with ‘an average depth of nearly 500 feet’ and raise you my Loch Ness with a depth of 788 feet AND A MONSTER!! *dusts off hands* 😀
>12. MAYHEMING: You can use mayhem as a verb
I bet you knew this already! He verbs all over the place.
okay, that donut croquembouche on the cake wrecks page? WOULD EAT! I would eat that so hard. *makes grabby hands*
And then i’d have to go to bed. For a long, long time.
Chris- I never understood the Disneyland thing. I have never remotely had the urge to visit.

I love the book drop signs! Sadly, I only got 10 0f 12 MN foods right. otoh, I made tater tot hotdish for Christmas Eve dinner, and both sons — aged 26 and 31 — loved it! Commented the elder, “This is a LOT better than I thought it would be.” And we do that Tommy Lee Jones look many times every day, especially in the evening after dinner.
