Mugshot Monday - "Little Red Swirl Sipper" by Travis Hinton Pottery with Rioja Reserva by Marqués de Cáceres

My wife Cindy and I had a glass of wine to celebrate her passing the first of four NCCAOM Acupuncture licensure exams!

For this exam, she had to study 170 herbal formulas and 300 single herbs. That's kinda nuts.

Btw, these herb and formula names ARE IN CHINESE. Cindy doesn't speak Chinese and is of Norwegian decent, so it was quite challenging. But she did it! 🙂

She has 3 more national board exams to go, but this one is likely the most difficult. I’m so proud of her.

I bought this awesome little cup made by Travis Hinton back in July at the MN Pottery Festival. Love Travis' work. The layers of decorative underglaze he adds is so cool.

I lamented not buying one of his cups at last year's festival, so I made sure I got one this year. It's perfect for a glass of wine.

Cheers! And congrats Cindy! 🎉

ALL FOUR LINEUPS ARE DONE

[your-unfriendlyghost]

Can't recall if you've said you've read taming the star runner or not but you remind me a lot of Travis ngl

I have. And that’s fair, because Travis was like scary relatable to me.

Like the part where he talks about how desperate he is to hangout with other guys was so accurate it hurt- My school is an art school that’s 90% girls, so all the stuff about being the lone guy in a girl-filled place was so real to me. And Travis looking in the mirror at the start and talking about how good-looking he is and then later doubting his looks the instant he makes a mistake…istg that happens to me every time I’m in a new situation lol

that’s not all but yk imma leave it there for now, cos if I really listed all the times Travis’s inner monologue said something I’ve straight up written nearly word-for-word in my notebooks, I’d pretty much just be copy-pasting whole novel 😭

so yeah no you’re right on the money there lol

Chris Connor: A Jazz Odyssey in Vocal Harmony

Introduction: In the ever-evolving landscape of jazz, certain albums stand as milestones, shaping the course of the genre. One such gem is “Chris Connor,” an eponymous album by the iconic jazz singer. Released in 1956 under the Atlantic label, it marked Atlantic Records’ foray into the realm of jazz vocal LPs, creating ripples that would resonate through the years. Unveiling the Sonic…

(twirls hair) uhh y'all should read my stevepop fic :) promise there's a happy ending :)

Sodapop Curtis comes home from Vietnam spitting, shining; the tarmac the plane floats on down to at Travis gleams grease-gold in the sun of early morning. The strap of his rucksack is cutting lines into the pink of his palm. He’s got another plane to catch back to Tulsa, back to Darry and Ponyboy, the lope of the sun splitting the street into strips of light. One year. He hadn’t let himself miss it, hardly. 12 months. Steve’s been dead 2.

“Covid, pregnant women bleeding out, submerged wire on the border, psychos with guns – if people are needlessly suffering and dying in Texas, Greg Abbott is always there to throw the full weight of his office in support of whatever is killing them.” —Matt Hinton

More than a year after a Travis County jury convicted Daniel Perry of murdering a protester in Austin, Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned the former U.S. Army sergeant on Thursday shortly after the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles recommended a full pardon.

A Texas state district court judge sentenced Perry in May 2023 to 25 years in prison for shooting and killing U.S. Air Force veteran Garrett Foster during a 2020 demonstration protesting police brutality against people of color.

One day after a jury convicted Perry, Abbott directed the parole board to review the former U.S. Army sergeant’s case.

The Board of Pardons and Paroles announced their recommendation on Thursday, stating that their decision came after a “meticulous review of pertinent documents, from police reports to court records, witness statements, and interviews with individuals linked to the case.” Governor Abbott quickly approved the recommendation, emphasizing Texas’ strong “Stand Your Ground” laws in his statement. “Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,” Abbott said. “I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.”

Abbott approved the board’s recommendation, which included restoration of Perry’s firearm rights.

Congratulations to all the comedians for a hilarious comedy workshop showcase last night at The Cleveland Improv. This one was funny from beginning to end - and earned BIG laughs from our "almost" sold-out audience (we were close!). Special thanks to our MC Angela Verges, show-closer Anthony Mayo AND a special surprise set (he didn't know it was coming - but good to be in the right place at the right time) from Steven Prince. Someone said I even got a few laughs, but it was just my pre-recorded laugh track (that I take everywhere with me). Next workshop starts February 18 at The Tampa Improv and then back in Cleveland this spring. Stay tuned for dates.
