Waiting On A Package For A Secondhand Freewrite Traveler. I've Spent A Good Half A Year Debating To Get

I'm an addict to stationery. When I feel stressed about life, I peruse Instagram on stationery tags. When I feel depressed I peruse the shops. When I feel beaten and want a real pick me up, I use all that research to buy an item I checked out for weeks.

The past few years have resulted in a collection I really don't need. *Sigh*

A simple kind of love

I had started on Camp NaNoWriMo this month but then it's fizzled. Life just gets in the way sometimes. Also, I'm experimenting with writing my story by hand. I think I picked too big of a notebook because I can't carry it with me. It's discbound but also letter page size. If I was still using a book bag to travel with, maybe not so bad but I don't anymore.

I've been in the mood for something new and it's been a mental debate for me. I don't need these things but I love gadgets. My options that I'm debating:

- freewrite traveler (maybe Alpha because it's cheaper)

- pomera dm250

- just buy a new laptop (current is from 2014)

- use Bluetooth keyboard with my phone

- pick a better sized notebook for story writing

Y tu mamá también (2001, Alfonso Cuarón)

The song is catchy, but I really just loved the backflips. Rock on.

I can't stop rewatching this video. The animation is badass. The story doesn't make that much sense but the sequences are so cool.

How beautifully done to represent some of history. Almost begs the question of “are you ready to sit at the table?” Are you ready to face the past?

It’s Thanksgiving today in the US and so many will be sitting at dinner tables, maybe with people they love, maybe with people they don’t love so much. And we all don’t realize how these moments create our own historical tapestry, and when we come together those individual tapestries for a brief moment interweave.

If your table setting stays ready, you don’t have to get ready. 🍽️🍷

The Dinner Party was created by Judy Chicago between 1974 and 1979. Each wing of the triangular table is 48 feet long. Arranged chronologically along the wings are thirteen place settings; including a unique runner and plate, as well as a chalice, napkin, and utensils. 

Wing One of the table begins in prehistory with the Primordial Goddess setting and continues chronologically with the development of Judaism, to early Greek societies, to the Roman Empire, marking the decline in women’s power, signified by the Hypatia plate. Wing Two represents early Christianity through the Reformation, depicting women who signify early articulations of the fight for equal rights, from Marcella to Anna van Schurman. Wing Three begins with Anne Hutchinson and addresses the American Revolution, Suffragism, and the movement toward women’s increased individual creative expression, symbolized at last by the Georgia O’Keeffe place setting.

You can see The Dinner Party and all of its discoverable details on display on the 4th floor of the Museum.

This was my favorite NYE display. The family was all sick with colds but we enjoyed watching the displays from around the world.

I have this intense urge to procrastinate.

I must have something due soon.
