I thought I wanted to take an art class but when I couldn’t find anything that interested me I realized that what I actually want is someone to bully me into making art within a set of parameters and then tell me I did a good job after.

Unfortunately one of the side effects of my dog aging is that he no longer has any definitive control over his tail. Sometimes he can still wag it but sometimes it just limply hangs there, or lifts enough where we wonder if he’s just stretching or about to poop. It seems confused, as does he.

I spent pretty much all of last month working on some art pieces that now I really think look terrible. Feeling pretty down, kicking rocks, etc etc

Well I’m happy I’m part of the roughly 13% of my city’s population that showed up for our municipal election today, because now my bitching about potholes on my street has some real substance to it.

Odds are not looking great 😬

The part of adult life I really struggle with is that it is impossible to be “done”. There will always be something more to do, and the trick is to find the balance between the “want tos” and “need tos” your brain throws at you

Why is October always the busiest month, when all I wanna do is vegetate and soak up fall vibes?

Printers really are mysterious creatures. I've had the same one since 2008, purchased at half price from one of those internet sales sites with a weird name like flarp or whatever. it generally works.
