This was a timely quote for me today.
"How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" -EM Forster
Heard on @jdickerson.bsky.social's Navel Gazing podcast (hoping we get a 2nd season).

I've been testing out a bunch of pencils lately. Including Musgraves, Mitsubishis, and other hardnesses of Blackwings. After all of that, the 602 still feels different than all of those.
I know a lot of folks would say they are overpriced. but I do love their balance of smoothness and tactility.

One man's pencil shavings is another man's potpourri.
Seriously though. These are from some Tennessee reds and smell amazing 😆

I'm feeling like I need to get back into doing ink and watercolors.
I've been inspired by Miyazaki's storyboards lately as well as Beatrix Potter's illustrations.
Here's some of my old stuff.

I just started on book 3 of the "Legends of the First Empire" series by Michael J Sullivan. It's been a long time since I've been so hooked on a series.
There's a lot to like about these books.

I started watching Hilda with my oldest.
This is one of those children's cartoons that is way better than it needs to be. Cozy, whimsical, and a wonderful story.

While I've always been a casual fan of Lego, my wife gifting me the D&D set has turned me into a full fledged AFOL.
No I'm waiting patiently for Lego to release a dark blue classic space helmet and air tank for my pieces together Spaceman.

Just got around to ordering a pack of Sarasa R pens to try out. I do like them more than the Dry (a little smoother stroke in my Traveler's notebook) but I still prefer the original Clip refill. The less saturated black just looks classier to me 🤷

Slept on it and yup, scheduled for deletion today.
Honestly, it was an easy decision. I had really only been using it to share art and follow artists and the algorithm actively worked against showing me what I really wanted to see (I never have wanted video anywhere on Instagram).

I don't usually post pictures of myself but I decided to try out something new the cover the ol' noggin.
Picked this up from Boston Scally Cap. It's their "Peaky" style.
I do wish it wasn't so weird for folks to wear hats that are baseball caps 😑
