I'm avoiding headlines in trash media like the Times, but the report summary is more nuanced than I imagined it would be.

I've got so reclusive that I'm starting to get aches and pains so I forced myself to walk outside for 10 minutes. I'm washing my coat, I'm going to spray it with comforting perfume and find other ways to push myself in going outside in small tolerable amounts.

The aggressive, loud, volatile neighbour upstairs who sucked us into a 2 yr noise complaint has just realised she has two children to look after over Easter hols *and* her new neighbour is now learning the electric guitar. He's a clumsy fingered beginner with a big amp. Thank you Karma.

I was printing from a woodblock yesterday and a fellow artist said 'it looks like a Bokashi fade used in Mokuhanga printing.' I hadn't intended it, but it was pleasing to hear nonetheless. toshidama.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/t...
