I hope I make progress in ceramics today. I'm planning to stay for seven hours max only.
edit: i ended up staying for eight hours, making all six convex and concave pots, carving through one old pot on accident, noticing that one pot cracked at the bottom, and spending about a good 40 minutes cleaning up my station. none of the new six pots match the eight inch criteria, but it's the experience and effort that counts i guess. or i hope. too exhausted.
now i just ate a whole bag of sea salted baked lentil chips in almost one sitting. it's the rice cooker, taking forever to steam my veggies tonight. i couldn't help it. my mind and body are both mentally and physically tired from working all weekend. where did this weekend go?
well, actually last night, i did take a couple of hours off with juan and went to the long beach second saturday downtown art walk. turned out that it was not as glorious as the downtown san jose ones, but i did find joy browsing through some of the local shops that usually close early throughout the week. i found an oval plate drawing of an owl on a branch with a deep forest green border for $2.99 at a shop called make collective. apparently it belonged to the owner's mother-in-law. now it's mine. that's exciting- inheriting someone's own work of art. i find that meaningful.
i also purchased three books from fingerprints, and a slice of vegan cherry pie from zephyrs. i don't like cherries, but their cherry pie was the perfect kind of sweetish tart taste i was craving for. yum. i shared that with juan while watching gravity falls (the disney cartoon) before going to bed.
next time i visit fingerprints, i may get a few random cds for kyle, my penpal, and maybe browse longer in the poetry and spirituality sections in their bookroom. maybe even grab a coffee from berlin next door. i miss their coffee. i haven't had good coffee in awhile. but that's probably because i have been making my homemade earl grey soy lattes and just plain green tea every night.
