Name a PlayStation 2 game.

The same friend who informed me that a PS2 could play dvds and so convinced me to buy my first gaming console, gave me a copy of this. I played way too many hours of it.

Some little trees from today’s pottery session.

Has anyone had students turn in a Twine project on Canvas? I keep getting the following error about there being no such story.

I've done the reloading/restarting bit and tried different students files with the same result.

Nice to be back in the pottery studio. Seems like I somehow accidentally channeled the cover of Mendelsohn’s new Odyssey translation with this one.

Idk what they use to pre-caption gifs, but this one is pretty bad.

Got the glasses holder back from the kiln today. It’s kinda fun.

Apparently I need to practice drawing people crawling around on the ground. Went over my 10 minute limit on this one because I kept erasing and starting over. 🫤

#ClassicsTober Day 1: Hypnos

I’m going to try to do drawings this year for each day. I’ve decided I will just sit down and do them quickly in ca 10 minutes as a bit of fun and not care that I’m not the best artist!

Managed to snag an early morning, last minute donation slot. Got a free tshirt, bp and temp and hemoglobin checks, and snacks.

Honestly surprised, pleasantly surprised, how much a ride to work clears my mind and shoves the anxieties and worries into the background for a bit.

It’s in chilly here this morning, but Meg has wisely found the sun while I’m still sitting in the shade. #TinyJoys

A #TinyJoy today amongst all the horribleness. Jo let me bring her out on the patio. She had fun exploring and eating cobwebs.

Forgot to share the #TinyJoy of my smiley socks here yesterday, so please enjoy today.

Ripley does a great job waiting while my dad practices. #TinyJoys

He does hunt, but it’s really more of a camping trip with his bow as he never brings anything back.

Back to the pottery studio again. Many of our glazes have dried out after 9 months, so I was at a loss as to what to do. Settled on this Minoan style octopus. My coral needs some work.

Meg is now soundly sleeping in a chair on the patio. Soaking up the sun. May everyone have such a moment of respite today.

Here’s a #TinyJoy. Meg has been coming out to the patio every morning with me for over a week. She’s learned to do it after Ripley goes back inside.

Meg has had some patio time four days now! A little sun bathing cat for your enjoyment. #TinyJoys

Meg has made it to the patio again. #TinyJoys
