Look what my local bookshop told me I could pick up today! @lejenksbrown.bsky.social
The front cover of You Are Odysseus by Homer and L. Jenkinson-Brown. The background is blue and the title is in yellow on a red background. There are images of a ship, an eye, a harpy, an owl, a winged boot, a lightning bolt, and a bow and arrow

I have been with folks in the emergency department a bit too often in 2025. Francis decided this new pillow provided a cozy place to wedge his head

Control room is about to have a little more natural light (once we spend a morning with the chainsaw). The tree’s other trunk is intact, and miraculously the giant locust at the back of the yard does not seem to have been damaged

12 years later and Corby Plumb has finally got his wish! I’m super stoked this is available on vinyl again and psyched to play Denver in August! dischord.com/release/145/...
A screenshot from the Dischord website. At the top left is the Dischord Records logo under which is the cartoony black sheep from the cover of Minor Threat’s Out of Step record. In the center is the cover of the Black Eyes “Cough” LP. The cover art consists of the name of the band, the title of the record, and collage art that is made of interwoven strips of images, most prominently the Face of a man who appears to be singing or shouting, and text from the Bible

The image depicts a dramatic, stylized painting of two hands grasping each other in a firm handshake (“Epic Handshake meme”). The hands are rendered in exaggerated proportions and bold colors - one hand is painted in shades of orange and red, while the other is white and gray. The background is dark and atmospheric, with hints of yellow and gray streaks. The text over the clasped hands reads “Finally, you came along. The way I feel about you it just can’t be wrong…I just cannot hide it.” The text over the bicep of the arm on the left reads “Sulpicia” and over the right “CeCe Penniston”

Getting into audio recording has ultimately entailed doing far more carpentry and upholstery work than my teenage self expected
The control room of a recording studio. In the center a covered mixing console sits in front of two speakers. It is flanked by racks of gear. Fabric-covered acoustic treatment panels line much of the walls and ceiling

Practicing my ancient graffiti on my Latin I students (actually it’s just that some of them didn’t know what a quail looked like, maybe still don’t)

#ClassicsTober23 I don’t know how much time I’ll have for participating this year but I just found my childhood drawing of Asterion and of one of Noche Crist’s Minotaur pieces
A sculpture consisting of two upright legs (boxes of wood painted black) supporting a third horizontal box with half-moon cutouts revealing mirrors inside. Suspended from this between the legs is a pulley. On top of it is a round cross section of a tree trunk with a hole through it flanked by two bull’s horns A child’s drawing of the sculpture in image one above the same child’s drawing of the mythological Minotaur

Finally gonna get to grips with the Chinese-made Greek bouzouki that I bought in Turkey and that was in Irish tuning in the shop when I first picked it up. It’s technically bilingual but my limited modern Greek is getting a workout
An orange paperback book titled “practical method for bouzouki” on whose cover are printed six staggered (a la the Black Flag emblem) vertical bars in colors of the rainbow. The neck of a black and white image of a Greek bouzouki stands in for a seventh bar, to the right of the leftmost bar
