Lis's Project 365

This is what snow should be like. Light, fluffy, just enough to cover the landscape and make it pretty, all of which make it easy to shovel.

This is Sal. She is a Black and White Tegu Lizard. Her tongue is difficult to photograph because it’s always in motion. She’s cool.

why bother creating a real product that has the same name and look as its fictional counterpart, but is not, in fact, that product…? I mean if you’re going to do it….do it.

there were several of these ceramic women in a display case at work, but it got deinstalled, and now they are scattered randomly about the back offices. I don’t know if any of the others are holding their right fingers in their left hand, or if any of the others are wearing monkey masks. But both those features make this one particularly creepy.

there’s a cool installation at work, for all that it’s very simple: a bunch of hula hoops mounted on the ceiling, with bells on strings dangling down at different lengths. If you walk through it slowly with your hands out, it makes a lovely sound.

I realize Kat has also posted a picture of microwave popcorn, but what can I say. It’s tasty stuff and easy to photograph.

I went to visit my best friend today, who is recuperating from surgery. She’s tired but otherwise doing very well. Partly because of Penelope here, who is cheerful and generally nice to have around, but also helps in finding comfortable sleeping positions.

This is what happens when the wick burns all the way to the bottom, and you pick up the candle and the wick doesn’t come along.

Earlier this week, my coworker emailed to ask if I could assist with a pianist who was coming Saturday to help with the Art Studio program. She explained that his check and contract were on her desk, and it was his first paying gig and she expected him to behave appropriately. Which I thought was a really weird comment, until I found out who he was:

He charged us $2.00, and wore a tie because, as he told his mother, “it’s respectful.” He turned down an invitation to play with a friend because he had a “job” and he bowed after every song. He’s 7.

This pelican was part of a display in one of the window cases at work. It was my favorite such display, and now I regret never taking a picture of it, since it has been taken down. But at least I’ve got the pelican.
