1. When my laptop became incapable of supporting its own monitor’s weight, I made a harness for it out of a loop of string and a keychain loop. The keychain loop is to make it adjustable: I can make the string shorter or longer (tilting the monitor forward or back) by winding more or less of it into the keychain loop. The harness won’t stop it from slamming shut if you tilt the laptop too far forward, but mostly it works pretty well.

2. I am enjoying having a hematine ring again way too much. You see, hematine is magnetic, and the aforementioned keychain loop is attracted to magnets. Thus, I’ve ended up playing around with that a lot. I’ve also been discovering just how many everyday objects respond to magnets. (Unfortunately, metal spoons are heavy enough that you can’t actually lift them with the power of a single magnetic ring.)

3. I am a Jew born on Sunday, and am therefore free to choose my own destiny. Yay loopholes! …oh god, maybe being born a Jew on Sunday destines you to enjoy playing Hunt the Loophole.

4. I don’t really like cake, and outright hate frosting. For about as long as I’ve been old enough to have major input into the decision, my birthday cakes have been made of ice cream, brownies, or both.

5. I have an entire bookcase filled with the products of the many, many art workshops I’ve participated in over the years. (Okay, so it’s a fairly small bookshelf: seven shelves, but each only 12” by 9”. And a couple of the things on it are dolls and other things I didn’t make. But it is full, and almost all with my art.)
