SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!

SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
12.21.12

Sorry for the late post. I flew to Texas yesterday for Christmas and was busy the entire day. So, here I am with one of my sister’s dogs. (My brother-in-law actually took this photo, so it’s not technically a self portrait.)

This will be a short post, as I’ve got a full day ahead of me. Kolaches and coffee are for breakfast. Might try to go to the Menil Collection, my favorite museum in Houston. There’s a party tomorrow night. And general overeating to do everyday. Most of the things I really want to do while I’m here involve eating.

I weighed myself yesterday. I’ve gained 6 pounds since I last weighed myself two years ago. That will triple by the time I get back to Brooklyn.

Have a good Christmas!

Christmas Eve Eve

Today I woke up at 1:30PM.
And then I made myself a big breakfast.

And then I remembered that my younger sister was having the family over for dinner.
A sort of Christmas Eve Ever dinner.

So, I had to go eat MORE.

Here are some photos:

no xmas card

(That's when Kristina, my older sister, saw that our aunt had sent Windy, my younger sister, a Christmas card but not her. Maybe she's just not as special.)

WINDY!

I'm really into blurry photos lately.

TREATISE ON LAW

In one of the classes I'm taking, the professor always begins with the "Our Father" prayer:

Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Today I decided to listen to others as they prayed, to see what sort of mistakes were being made, and this was the only one I heard:

Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name; Thy Catholic come…

On an unrelated classic rock note, "Stairway to Heaven" is NOT the song I wanted to hear on the drive to school today.

P.S.     Because I was listening to mistakes people were making during the prayer does not mean I was looking for any sort of weaknesses in others' devotion to God. I was just looking for mistakes.

Bad reviews

This is a conversation I got via Etsy this morning, concerning my language on the forums:

"You don't know me and it's likely that you have zero interest in my feelings or beliefs, but at least twice in about as many weeks you've managed to work the "n" slur into a forum post.

I can't make you stop, but I can tell you that particular word, and all the history and feeling behind it, is offensive to me. I don't use it, I don't hang with people who use it, and I don't believe I should have to read it in a place where I'm paying to do business. At the very least, if you insist on posting it in these public forums, would you consider including a type of benign "spoiler space" so I can avoid it?

It's not my intention to start some big convo, forum, or Admin-involved back-and-forth deal. I'm just asking that you consider the people sharing the Etsy environment with you."
