the fun part about doing pottery while getting back into spinning at the same time is that I get to ask myself questions like: is my sore butt from spinning or sitting on the hard pottery stool for hours

sometimes writing isn’t about talent. sometimes it’s about sitting in your chair and suffering for 45 minutes until a single sentence crawls out of your skull

the pottery tutorial youtube man: when you pull up the wall, you place you fingers like this and the clay has nowhere to go but up

me, failing miserably: I think you'll find the clay in fact has everywhere to go but up

holy shit blog. i renovated a couple years ago so you'd think I would he used to what my kitchen looks like. I have a kitchen island and I put the patterned quartz on the side of the island (don't @ me I think it looks cool)

anyway I'm sitting on my couch and I catch a glimpse of the island and almost have a fucking heart attack at what looks like a large spider chilling on the side of the island. and I live alone, so if there's a huge fucking spider in the house there's only one person here to take care of it.

so i'm freaking out and creeping over to the island to investigate. and like, I don't mind the tiny little spiders. I trap them in a shot glass and take them outside. this spider is the size of the entire shotglass rim.

I'm debating whether or not it should call the building's super for help (because I suddenly realize I am not above hiring someone for this) when I realize.

false alarm.

it's not a massive spider it's just the pattern of the quartz that apparently, today, my brain has decided looks like a spider. I have looked at this pattern every day for years and now I cannot unsee Massive Spider

me @ my brain: whyyyy

For this one I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to increase the palette and did ten colors. How exciting! Except it didn’t really do much for the end result and I happily went back to 5-8 colors from there on out. 6-7 is my sweet spot. Five is usually for gifs or really such warmups while 8 is really the most intense I want to deal with. I do like Wen Kexing’s eyes and hair here. Enjoy!

hi blog it's friday! I'm not working today so yay for that.

yesterday I was half watching a youtube video about someone training for a 10k run. I must have been more jealous than I realized (I started this year strong with running but between my calf injury and various vacations I haven't done many long runs lately) because this morning I went to central park and ran a 10k. it felt great! i was nowhere near my personal best from back in jan but the weather was gorgeous and I had a good time.

(though maybe my lackluster time was due to the subpar pre-workout snack I had. or the fact that I'm currently taking antibiotics.)

I don't have anything else planned for the weekend except a spinning class and my pottery class. so for right now i get to sit on the balcony and enjoy the nice weather. i hope tomorrow's pottery class doesn't suck. (i would probably make more progress if i spent more time in open studio hours but the instructor never actually explained what the hours were or how to sign up for it or anything else about it really. I keep meaning to ask and I keep forgetting)

I'm gonna edit some fic and later maybe open a bottle of prosecco. we are in full summer balcony cocktail season and I am going to enjoy it while it lasts!

I hope everyone has a good weekend!
