Tuesday night follies.

On Friday I posted some links to the work of Japanese American artist Chiura Obata. Imagine my surprise when I went looking for the schedule of the San Jose Obon celebration for this weekend and found this article about his old studio in Berkeley, which was in the very building where we used to stuff ourselves with Ethiopian food before the Blue Nile closed its doors.

Still not king, still not getting any, still lose my brain when I get up in front of the o-daiko. It's stupid and frustrating and I will not back down, but ARGH! You know?

I lost the LCD hood I bought for my camera at that restaurant in SF and they never found it. Wouldn't you know the place I ordered it for no longer has the size I need in stock?

But I did find THESE!!!! (Coolest. Aunt. Ever. Yo!)

Oh, and seizure inducing eyewear!

Class proposals have been sent off to GWW and Collegium Caidis. Right after I said I was not going to bother with GWW I got an "Oh, pretty please, we promise not to suck like last year" email with copies to half a dozen people. OK, sure, let me bang my forehead against your wall one more time.

What, you don't WANT a big blinky spoon to wear in your hat?

I am a little bit afraid that I followed you to flashingblinkylights dot com...and found stuff I wanted to buy. I already knew about Oriental Trading, the Cool Teacher and Cool Aunt Coolness supplier of choice.

Is your Collegium class proposal for the next collegium?

[gurdymonkey.livejournal.com]

Yes.

My sister got some free blinkies from her conference and the boys liked them a lot, so it's only PARTLY K's fault. ;-D
