tuesday afternoon

yayyyy tuesday

listening: haken concert was SO good. incredibly fun. i brought two friends with me and one of them said that he wasn't expecting a metal/rock prog band to be so "sploinky barbershop quartet" re: songs like cockroach king, lol. orchestra concert was sunday and it was good! face did hurt a lot after because this is a youth orchestra that i volunteer with so naturally we need a 90 min rehearsal before the actual concert. pain. but the kids did good. they did a mozart oboe concerto and the soloist was incredible. but also on my own i've been listening to borodin symphony no 1 and 2.

reading: finished volume 2 of mdzs! xue yang is such a loser nightmare failboy. we've entered jin guangyao zone which fucks severely.

watching: dunmesh and klk, again. i love the way dunmeshi is doing backgrounds, they're so detail and delightful to look at. i've also started watching comrade detective with a friend and it's VERY funny. goofy communist buddy cop parody bullshit. channing tatum is in the intro for some reason that i cannot ascertain but makes me laugh anyways.

playing: ran and played dnd! mtg! i've decided i want to put together a mono green deck so if anyone has commander recommendations lmk.

making: yippee making!

trimmed those little teacup experiments, i don't think the shrinkage will be too bad but we'll see. they all have mismatched feet now oops

started a seder plate for passover! i think at this rate it will be done before the holiday which is exciting. i'm going to do it red with a pomegranate motif. this is the bottom for now, the top is blank and boring so no pic for now.

pre-bisque work needs to be done on these, the big one is a flower pot for my mom that i'm covering in purple slip and then carving a tree into i think

finished the sgraffito on this guy, my roommate accidentally knocked a divot in the edge of it at the end of last year so i mirrored it on the other side of the bowl and incorporated it into a design!

some kiln stuff came out too!

cat yarn bowl!

this bowl was supposed to be a deep, dark green on the outside but i forgot that this kiln is cone 5, not 6! so surprise color but i still like it

and finally, someone abandoned this little guy so i slapped some glaze on him and took him home. i have a matching cat one that's still kilning. look how precious. i want to put air plants in him. taking name suggestions

eating: spicy butternut squash pasta with spinach. we made so much of this. i think we finally finished the last of the leftovers today. too many steps for me to do on a tuesday and i have a Moment about it but she took over and it is very good. we used cavatappi which is objectively one of the best pasta shapes out there.

harissa chicken thighs with shallots. yum! all i really gotta say about it. used gochujang because we don't have harissa and it still slammed.

deb smittenkitchen soy glazed chicken. 10/10. goes with Everything. i had it with brussel sprouts over rice, then the next day with that pasta leftovers, and then again yesterday with mac n cheese. took like 10 minutes and slams.

(if anyone wants the nyt recipes lmk and i will post screenshots!)

misc: busy but in the swing of things! gym time has REALLY fallen by the wayside which is not great for my mental health so i'm working on trying to incorporate that back in where i can. but otherwise i am doin pretty good!
