I spent some time today making the decorative inlay for three of the five instruments in my historical guitar project. I wanted them to share unifying motifs and materials, but for each to have an individual character.
It’s 12:40am and I’ve just finished working for the day. C often jokes that I have no concept of a weekend. “Ted says: What is a week…end?”, she intones, quoting Maggie Smith from Downton Abbey. It’s true. They just don’t register with me any more. What’s worse I have no ability to recognize when statutory holidays show up. Thus, I find myself in the middle of the night realizing that it’s Good Friday and I didn’t stock up, and meals tomorrow will involve strange pairings of ingredients not usually served with each other.
I haven’t drawn anything with posting recently and I feel kind of guilty about that. I made a rendering of a headless guitar for a client this afternoon but nobody wants to see that kind of malarkey.
people act like Pluto was dealt a bad hand bc they thought it was a planet but later classified it as a dwarf but consider this: there are 4 other dwarf planets in the solar system that most people don’t even know the names of so Think Again before you think Pluto is underrepresented
look. look at these precious forgotten siblings
Show some love for the Kuiper Belt crew. (This isn’t all of them! There’s also Sedna, Quaoar, Orcus and Ixion, among other littler ones.)
@jeffthehardway tagged me in a list of questions. – The Canadian Version!
1. Favorite Group of Seven artist? It’s been different members at different times. Most recently it’s Lawren Harris and his eerie inner light.
2. Your favorite Tragically Hip song? For the casual acquaintance I’d say New Orleans. For them that knows, I’d say Vapour Trails.
3. Who was more integral to the Guess Who’s greatness, Randy Bachman or Burton Cummings? Let’s hear it for Lenny Breau, who taught Randy all those augmented 13 chords. (I actually find the Guess Who kind of insufferable, but it’s mostly because of radio oversaturation via CanCon.)
4. Can you explain the icing rule in professional hockey in less than 30 minutes? Buddy shoots the puck past the centre line and it makes it all the way down rink without some hoser from the Soo gettin’ a stick onner? She’s time for a faceoff, eh? (*Hold my spitter…)
5. Who was the greatest Prime Minister of the 20th century? Lester B. Pearson. -Gave us universal healthcare, (with a MINORITY government!?!), the Canada Pension Plan, the Maple Leaf flag, refused to follow the U.S. into Vietnam AND he won the Nobel peace prize even before he was elected for brokering an end to the Suez crisis, narrowly averting a nuclear war.
6. If a girl said “Honey kiss me where it smells” to her boyfriend or girlfriend, what city would they have to drive to? Those are fightin’ words and you know it because I live there, and it’s considerably less stinky these days…
7. Your favorite roadside attraction on or near the Trans-Canada Highway? The Vermillion Bay Sasquatch and his sensational loincloth.
8. What cool thing would you tell a foreign visitor about Canada? -It’s pretty cool, mostly.
9. What Canadian film best represents the true Canadian way of life? -Goin’ Down the Road. So Canadian SCTV made a full-episode parody .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPFAAGC0Jxo
10. How big is your box of Timbits? – They don’t taste like they used to when they were made fresh in-store. I can’t eat ‘em anyway.
11. Opinion of the recent changing of Canada’s national anthem to a gender neutral lyric? -I’m all for it. I like the second verse that nobody ever sings, which involves lordly rivers and hope for all who toil.
Most of the Canadians who follow me have gone dormant so I don’t know who to tag, but these were excellent questions.
Awakened from a dream and lost in the streetlight coming in through the blinds. A momentary costume of stripes and silver.
In about 4 billion years our galaxy has a date to collide with its neighbor Andromeda. The supermassive black holes at the center of each galaxy will pull together in a kind of cosmic intercourse of orbital energy.
