Sunday night after the change of time...

Where does the time go? (he says yet again?)...

So it's Sunday night, feeling later than the clock says it is, but I'm soon to bed. A good weekend in my studio, made a bunch of clay stuff. Fired a bisque kiln, another one ready to go. The next weeks will be glazing and readying the big kiln for loading and firing. Oddly enough I embarked on a spurt of making what might be called functional work. Who knows why, it was just a whim, so the next firing will have a wide range of large and small sculpture, some teabowls, cups, chawan, one big platter that will become a birdbath if it lives, and a good size dough bowl if I can fit it in.

Also worked on a 2d text intensive project for while which is a slow and meandering process that I haven't gotten my arms around yet. I'm still working on my first "official" small ponderings radio broadcast but am having some trouble sustaining momentum on it...the interest (mine) is there, but by the time I get to it in the evenings my brain is mush. This might explain why I spent all the time and effort to do what was a pretty good phone intereview Friday evening, only to find out I had the wrong mic input selected for recording (even though I know better) But now I have practice, and the interviewee is gracious and willing enough to do it again.

Toying with some video ideas, studied some shorts one evening. This one was fantastic, if you can see it somewhere treat yourself. Also, this one, laugh out loud funny. Both can be seen on the 75th annual academy awards short films video.

So that's it for me....my wireless mouse is about ready to croak, and I'm feeling iffy myself. Sore throatish, and feeling a little icky, so i'm down for the night.

Hope everyone has a great beginning to their week!
