The best fairy tales are about the same thing; transformation. You know? See, a duck becomes a swan. It's beautiful.

Uncle, how to get to the beautiful country? by Xiaoyu Wang

[moveslikekeithrichards]

cutting up a melon feels so fucking serious. put on barry manilow, weekend in new england. crank it up louder than god. cutting up a melon feels This Serious. big-ass knife looks like a scimitar, just slicing huge chunks up like a butcher. when will our eyes meet. when can i touch you. it feels like im carving the fucking roast beast. category 5 maniloment loud as fuck blasting through the house at 11pm. i feel like a fucking chef. i feel like jesus christ on his cross. when will this strong yearning end

just saw a pigeon doing the puffed up courtship dance thing to another pigeon, and as he was strutting around he suddenly stopped for a split second to do a very brief preen-peck at his own side, then returned to the strutting around. and i surprised myself by instantly losing respect for the male pigeon in that moment, like come on man i appreciate you had an itch or whatever but how is she supposed to feel special when you're getting distracted by bullshit like that? which on reflection i don't endorse, i mean those are pretty harsh dating norms i'm imposing on these pigeons, from a total outsider perspective, for no reason. probably not all girl pigeons are as uptight about that sort of thing as i would apparently be if i was a girl pigeon, maybe she even found it endearing who knows, i don't know her. it's none of my business really. sorry pigeons.

a few doors down from me my neighbors have a squirrel bar nailed to the tree in front of the sidewalk, not exactly this but something like this:

it's been there for years and they never "stock" it so it's just sitting there. anyway, i thought it would be cute to make a little squirrel out of sculpey and leave it on one of the stools in the middle of the night. i also made a little sculpey beer bottle with its own label.

it lasted exactly one day and now it is gone. it didn't fall off, i stuck it on with tape. what do you think happened to it? your most fantastical and wrong answers only, please

[chillyfeetsteak]

i wanted to provide another update because there has been more activity at the nut bar

a few weeks ago i sculpted a new patron:

and put him in the bar. the next day he was gone. a couple weeks later he reappeared painted... but with ANOTHER new guest: a 3D printed squirrel based on the first one i sculpted (with a bottle!)

I really need to lock in and clean my apartment, but I spent the last twenty minutes trying to find the owner of a 1960s yearbook I recently thrifted given how g-damn enthusiastic his autograph section was (turns out he was a freshman who was moving away)

Also I googled in the name and where he moved on a lark... it appears he's a practicing lawyer operating out of this county. It sorta explains how I found a yearbook from a school on the other side of the country, but not why I was able to get a hold of it. (Also what do I do with it? It feels weird to keep it knowing the owner is still alive)
