Went downtown west center this afternoon to go Japanese stationery shopping - found and bought a Kakusta standing silicone pencil case for my urban sketching.
Micro.blog’s RSS reader Inkwell is now my way to view feeds. When I sit with my iPad, the web browser has an always open Inkwell tab. Its Today tab loads new posts, my left thumb taps title cards, the right side of the screen shows the full entries, I read them, check back after a while and repeat.
Watched The Importance of Being Ernest, a Take Your Seats National Theatre at Home presentation, on a whim upon recommendation on YouTube this night - only available to watch for a week from today 🎭
Currently reading: Dilla Time The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, the Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm by Dan Charnas 📚
The Shape of Paris by Brett Novak is my intro to the creative freestyle skateboarding of Andy Anderson. I appreciate flowing street style skating videos, and this one is not only a study of the athlete’s artistic and technical ability, but also a love letter to the city of Paris. (via kottke.org)
Finished reading: The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher - a new habit of mine as of this audiobook is reading on my weekend midday walks: very good, will continue 📚
Many cyclists (in groups or alone) on my midday walk. I plan to start getting out on my bike within the next few weeks as well…
Spent the sunny, warm day in Potsdam walking among the early flowers on the Freundschaftsinsel and the vibrant paintings at Museum Barberini in the Avant-Garde: Max Liebermann and Impressionism in Germany exhibition.




There are snowdrops in our courtyard once again, with more flowers this year - today I caught a glimpse of them from the ground level.
