Scintillation is rapid variations in apparent brightness or color of a distant luminous object

If the object lies outside the Earth's atmosphere, as in the case of stars and planets, the phenomenon is termed astronomical scintillation; if the luminous source lies within the atmosphere, the phenomenon is termed terrestrial scintillation.

Trial Prep

(Actually, it's not so bad...)

Coming or going?

These days..

I am drinking alfalfa, oat straw and clover.

Also, I just laughed so hard I cried, and it felt amazing.

All day long, shifting burdens
Now stop: just settle

Thanks, Buddha!

After last week's swearing in ceremony, Buddha joined me in a glass of wine.

Rite of Passage

Shameless celebration! :)

Raise your hand if you just finished the bar

OH OH! ME! I did! I did!


(And everyone cheered at the end. And it was great!)

Ceramics

My ceramics class ended a few weeks ago. On Wednesday I went to Studio One and picked up two pieces I had glazed. I had no idea how the glazes would turn out, and it was a little surreal to find these things glazed. I barely recognized them. I'm very much looking forward to going back next session and digging right in to hand building. Clay is awesome.
A close-up of the side. It looks like an old wall.
One of the spirals broke off this piece, but now it makes an excellent spoon holder.
The bottom is pretty neat too.

Apparently I am taking requests

Can't get enough afternoon light

Studying for the bar is hard

And the amount of support I have gotten while doing it is amazing. This is a rose my neighbor clipped and dropped in my kitchen window. Not pictured: cheering e-mail from friends old and new; home cooked dinners; answer to crazed phone and text messages; visits from people who will sit close to me; a baby I borrowed just to hold.

Live is beautiful, ya'll.
