This is fun. Try it in fullscreen. Extra points if you tilt your head. You’re only human.

Neat!

this is cool

might be slightly dizzying for people who get dizzy from cameras moving a lot, but it’s not jerky or anything

I made this today on a meme maker, cause it’s true.  You know it’s true.

This teaser just made me all kinds of jibbery style giddy.  Seriously.  Hooked like a fish.  Demographic target reached, like a boss.   ~Aimee~

Porter's Notebook: The Varick Street Choir

In the shop, life paced a color at a time.

Each one was first an aluminum plate blasted by the bank of halogens, so much candle-power, a storm of light. Then the plate was taken to the massive press that squatted in the middle of the shop, straining the ink-spattered floorboards. The trestles…

20 minutes on a Wednesday morning.  My daily photography study.  Utilizing icicles glowing in the sunrise for a backdrop, a wire star, an antique purple paperweight, a glass oil lamp made from volcanic ash, and a little figurine.  ~Aimee~

Little known fact: Saying “BUSTER KEATON!!” when stubbing one’s toe is immensely more satisfying than swearing.     ~Aimee~

Since I mentioned Griffin & Sabine in my last post, I thought I might expound.  I found the first book of this series years ago in 1991, in a little book store in my home town.  I was perusing the shelves, when I saw an intriguing cover featuring a peculiar parrot on a postcard.  But it wasn’t until I opened it up, that I felt an electrical storm of excitement flash through my veins.  The book was written in a series of postcards and letters.  Letters you could actually take out of real envelopes and read!

I read the first couple of postcards, and was magnetized by the artwork.  It was as if this author had climbed into my young brain, and fished out all the daydreams and mysterious notions I had ever had, and trotted them off to a publishing agency.  Well, I trotted right up to the cash register and bought the book.  I’ve never been the same since.

I had to wait for each book to come out.  Wondering, imagining how the story would play out. Savoring every detail.  Pouring over the illustrations for clues.  The wait was torturous.  You who are reading this now, if you’ve never read these books… you get the whole shebang in one hit.  You get to sit down and glut yourself page after page, experiencing it all in the course of a quiet afternoon.  I honestly don’t know who the luckier person is.  :)

Who doesn’t love real, honest to goodness handwritten letters?  Especially those with doodles on the envelopes.  I mean, Griffin and Sabine by Nick Bantock absolutely changed my life… so YES I love real letters.  But letters doodled on by Edward Gorey?!?!?!?   What a delight.  ~Aimee~

I wouldn’t say that this cat looked like they were ready to rock and roll, so much as they looked like they were going to shank a bitch in their sleep.   Those are cold, calculating eyes right there, framed in scalloped yarn.   ~Aimee~

Knitted Kitty. This cat looks ready to rock and roll!

Strange how this is non-fiction, based on actual events in my life.   ~Aimee~

Before I launched into making a full scale snowman, I made a little snowdude for practice.  ~Aimee~
