Recently I did not hang myself because to prove a point I got a bit silly and submitted a short piece on the historiography of print media… in handwriting.

Recently I did not hang myself because classes are done and now I just need to write, write, write. Incidentally, it’s a dense read but the first chapter of Elizabeth Eisenstein’s The Printing Press as an Agent of Change is one of the more mind-blowing historiography adventures I’ve come across. Likewise J. Huizinga’s The Problem of the Renaissance: “Your Renaissance is a Proteus. You are in disagreement about every question touching upon it… it suffers from vagueness, incompleteness, and chance, and yet is at the same time a dangerous, doctrinaire schematization. It is an almost unusable term.” Butt-kicking!

Today I did not hang myself because I’ve finished making a… err… umm… horse? Its head is too big for its body but I think that adds a certain charming dorkiness. (I’ve got several posts queued up now to make up for the week’s silence. Enjoy!)

Recently I did not hang myself because of friends near and not-so-far.  Don’t be deceived by the neatness of the stitches - Adventurekitten wove that lightning-bolt band herself. The other came in a box of delights (and glorious Christof-style silliness) earlier in the year. I’m a very lucky person!

Yesterday I did not hang myself because my crush on roller derby continued. Speedy Wasabi is an awesome jammer - she’s so fast and agile. Pat had to point out the joke in her player number for me: 404, “not found” error. Whoosh…

Philodendron

Thank you, pholant! It’s a split-leaf philodendron, which turns out to have one of the best scientific names I’ve ever met: monstera deliciosa. Wikipedia informs me the fruit is edible, but I am definitely not that brave.

meta yay philodendron
