Hardcore Yesterday...
Yesterday morning, I went in at 8am to begin firing a kilnload of pottery. Since I'd been glazing like mad to get ready for the firing, I hadn't had a chance to shower in a few days. So during one of the 30-minute intervals between checking the kiln, I hopped over to the nearest restroom, which happened to have a shower stall. I quickly showered, then sat in front of the kiln, watching a TV series about mid-19th century painters, and dried my hair by the heat of the kiln.
Yes... I am such a hardcore artist, I use an 1200 degree Celsius kiln as a hairdryer.
Go me.
The series I watched was called Desperate Romantics and is based on the lives of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, a group of painters in the mid 1800s. It was such good fun, watching a series about artists while making art that I think I shall make a habit of it.
Anyone have any recommendations for things to watch during my next firing? Only stipulation is that it must be about art or artists. I don't care when it was made, if I can track it down I'll watch it.
In news of a completely different sort.... I have found the best underwear known to man.
Fluorescent, rainbow-colored, leopard-print, BONDS brand undies. I have about six pairs now. I'll wear them out one at a time so that I can have these undies in my life for as long as possible.
BONDS make the best undies EVER, btw. They are the most comfortable thing next to your own skin. They are made of such soft material and have have these fantastic, wide, elasticated bands that don't cut into your skin, but just press it gently. They come in the greatest and most outrageous colors and patterns and you can get a specific color or pattern in several different styles so you can have just exactly what you like.
I want all my undies to be BONDS.
Lastly, I started writing something a while back, and, while I'm still working on it, I think the first chapter is nice enough to share. So, Friends of Mine, what do you guys say? If I post it will you read it and tell me what you think?
