I'm working a boat load this week and since today is my only day off, Dala took off work to hang out with me. We're currently at the craft store, just dicking around. I'm just going up and down the fabric aisles thinking "Ooh. That ones pretty." The propensity for craters to hoard things like fabrics, buttons, and whatever suddenly makes a lot of sense.

Edit: Ran into a customer at checkout that is a member of the local quilters guild that put on the quilt show I went to the other week. I told her how much I loved their work. She was so nice.

We're gonna make soda bread today, which has me excited as hell. I don't think I've had soda bread for about 20 years now, so I'm long overdue for it. I don't know which recipe Dala chose, but I'm sure it'll be good.

Edit 2: It was a pretty straightforward recipe, just flower, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. It was still pretty yummy though. Next time, I think we oughta toss in some spices.

Trawling through wikipedia last night, I discovered naive art and outsider art. I think both sound interesting, outsider art more than naive art. I'm gonna put it on the list of things to look into. tacocat, mk, you guys know a lot about art, don't you? Have any good books you might point me to?

I can't say much right now. I just jumped out of a moving car to avoid rehab/the homeless shelter. I'll try to update everyone on that situation when I get to a phone charger

Bro. Thanks for the links. I'll look at them when I get home from work.

In the mean time, be careful, be smart, be safe.

"Outsider art" or "Art brut" is one of those phrases that people use but fight about a lot. I thought I'd said something clever about it at some point but a search just has me using it casually.
