It's picture time!

So far, readings are going very well. I'm almost done with three books and there are only five days until school starts for me, so I have to hop to it!

No writing, but been keeping a journal (an off-line, paper one that is).

Nothing much else in the life, so... onto the pics!

My sis and I went to a flea market out of town last weekend. My sis hunted for bottles for her apothecary box project, while I browsed for records and books.

After a while, I found a guy selling records. I found Talking Heads' live album, the soundtrack to Stop Making Sense, and a Brian Eno album.

But, the fourth was a special find. It's the limited edition of the Speaking in Tongues LP. While not extremely rare, it was sheer fortune to find it. I snagged it for a palsy ten bucks. Here's the history:

"For the artwork of the sleeve, the band invited artist Robert Rauschenberg to create a record cover. He designed a plastic envelope package with clear discs that could spin around. After the record company Warner Bros. deceided [sic] that the special sleeve would raise the price of the album too much, it was released as a limited (but large) edition. The record itself was pressed on clear vinyl. Byrne himself painted a cover for the standard edition." - Franny, The Name of This Site is Talking Heads

A new hobby I just got into is soap-making. Today, I made two acne soaps (basic recipe from here). The smell of tea tree oil is overpowering and I can barely smell the eucalyptus mint scent I had also added, so for future reference, to take it easy on the tea tree oil. Otherwise, here are the results:



(that's my hand, JSYK)

Those are pretty awesome, y/y?

So, that's what I've been up to these days. How 'bout you? Find any new hobbies to keep your life interesting? Any cool finds? Post all about them!
