11:01 am - Quote for the day
|
"A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts." -George Orwell
In other news, I won't be going to Gallifrey One 2010, because Peter Davison isn't. He has supposedly rescheduled to 2011.

6:23 pm - Satisfaction
|
It's nice to be in my own home with my own refrigerator that produces crushed ice out of the door. Such is my modest idea of luxury. :)
Now if I could figure out how to fix up my bookcases... ignorance is expensive.

10:18 am - Inauguration Coverage
|
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) es is going to smack me. Normally I drive in to work on Tuesday, and she takes the bus, but today I looked in on the inauguration coverage while having breakfast, and I can't turn it off. So I missed a chance to spare her a cold walk.
It's tremendously moving. Human beings are social creatures. Even remotely, you can feel the mood of the people on the screen. It is a positive charge. Maybe I feel that if they can be out there in freezing cold for hours, I can keep the tv on and be a part of it.
I encourage everyone to watch if they can. Not for the politicians, but for the people. If you've been feeling distressed about the country, I think it will make you feel better.

7:42 pm - It's on the Internet, it must be true
|
Certain smells elicit greater sexual response than others. Research conducted at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found that men are most aroused by the smell of cheese pizza, roast beef and orange. Scents that actually increase blood flow to the penis include a combination of pumpkin pie and lavender, licorice and fresh doughnuts, and freshly- baked cinnamon buns.
Certain odors increase vaginal blood flow. Research out of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found that women were physically aroused by the scent of pumpkin pie, lavender, cucumber, licorice, and baby powder.

3:57 pm - Brother, can you spare $250?
|
So I was at the antique mall, and they had on display a Salvador Dali etching, an original, for only $250. TWO HUNDRED FIFTY!
It was a pen and ink drawing of Don Quixote. Just beautiful work, with mastery of the pen, yet it looked like he'd dashed it off like Sergio Aragones drawing a marginal in MAD Magazine. It was pure spontaneous wit, and just TWO HUNDRED FIFTY dollars. Unbelievable.

8:53 pm - Stamping and Stenciling
|
I have created the tools to make my wall motifs. Here's a link to the pictures:
Sun, Moon, and Earth
The Sun and Moon are combined, since I only stamped two pages. It looks pretty stark in black and white, but I was just testing the size and orientation of the stencils.
Now all I have to do is buy paint. Whee!

11:57 pm - Creative weekend
|
I have finalized the painting design for my room at the new house. Behind the cut is a picture of my new rocking chair, the rug I crocheted this weekend (okay, the ends haven't been woven in, but all the crocheting is done), and the sample wall panel, which doesn't show very well.
