2/16: taking advantage

...of the fact that there are no classes tomorrow.  I bought a bigger selection of crayons so that I'd have more greens.  (I remember when the 64-count box of Crayolas was a big deal.  Now I could get 152!)  And I made some more scribble books while continuing to listen to David Byrne (post-Talking Heads) albums.

2/15: listening

...to Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, a Brian Eno / David Byrne collaboration.

2/14: making

...little scribble books using the meander format.  It's something I'd been working toward for over a month now, but today things clicked.  And the first one I made was a valentine for Chris.

2/13: using

...a (bright pink!) one-pound weight to do some wrist-strengthening exercises.

2/12: making

...a meander book, then adding a flowing line and some words from Lucretius' De Rerum Natura.  It was an experiment to see if it would be feasible as a possible workshop on campus, and I think it might be.

2/11: talking with the students

...in the Myth class about the double simile that describes the gouging of Polyphemus' eye in the Odyssey.

2/10: using tahini

...in the salad dressing tonight.

2/9: peeling

...off a post-it note that's been on the armrest of my chair for almost a month.  It was a reminder to order some postcard prints.  I had been weirdly blocked (self-conscious and more?), but I got things ready last night and this morning uploaded the order.  My armrest is, for now, post-it free.
