Mr. K doesn’t appreciate my random Ai image prompt generation tool. #DivorceCourt

Riot

There is some hardcore 90s riot grrl picking the musaq at this resto! I’m all over it. Fiona, Sarah, the whole shebang!

Home

Some ninety year old homeless dude said, “That’s a pretty ass shirt!” So I guess there is some sense of style left in the world. #FashionIcon

Pull

Because no one is around today, I created a database tool to generate image prompts based on randomly selected criteria for colors, genders, moods, head positions, gazes, and objects. Click a button and voila! Random new fun creature. It’s kinda wild! I’m having a lot of fun playing with it. #BookmarkEmpire

Summer

Things Mr. K needs to let me do this summer that I’ve never done before. Visit Boldt Castle. Go to the Bouckville Antique Festival. Make it happen, Universe! #BusySummer #BookIt

Demo

The matte acrylic arrived today, and I thus now have a fully functional demo! It looks fantastic. I’d love to share it with you. If you need a bookmark, drop your addy in a message, and I’ll send you one. It’ll help me get the kinks out of my production process. Danki! #BookmarkEmpire

Tens

I don’t like the phrase “tens of dozens”. If I weren’t busy, I’d research when this appeared and whom I need to time travel kill to eradicate.

Madge

Madonna – nor any of us really – could have imagined that her constant presence in media for thirty years would simmer down to an endless variety of short thirty second clips of her saying whacky shit on my phone around-the-clock. What other celebrity has so much A roll footage? I can think of none. I mean, it was once said that Princess Di was the most photographed person in the world. But she was more passing through and being snapped by the paparazzi. She wasn’t constantly being interviewed – a talking head – like Madonna. I often find myself thinking about where I was when and what I was doing when Madonna had those eyebrows, that hair color, lip line, and was chatting about Kabbalah or being interviewed at a vanity fair shoot. I’m not complaining. I enjoy the nostalgia.

In unrelated news, we need to talk about the constant barrage of text message reminders from doctors’ offices. What Ai decided that we need daily reminders about appointments a week away? I want to talk to the manager! With my gang of medical handlers and frequent appointments, it just becomes noise. Do I need to get a burner phone for medical only?

Project

I’m working an a fun new craft project for my etsy store. I’m feeling energized! Chatgpt suggested it. So it must be legit? For one side of the product, I want it to have a plastic coating to protect the art. On the front only, the back will be regular paper that the user can write upon. I was experimenting with self adhesive lamination sheets with limited success. These sheets are great for some things. It’s essentially a big clear plastic sticker. However, they are designed to “self seal” by attaching back-to-back with another sheet. They cling to one another around the edges where the glue meets. If you put just one onto something, the adhesion is lackluster and can easily peel up if you play with it. Not good! I searched for “permanent adhesive” sheets but those still talked about “self sealing” with another sheet in the description and reviews. Ugh! Not what I need! Then it hit me? What about good old-fashioned clear contact paper? Contact paper is forever and could hold a bowling ball to a wall! And cheap! Much cheaper than lamination sheets, and I can cut it to size easily. I think I’ll have a final demo by this weekend.

Many

We finished season 1 of Pluribus. She got her atom bomb. #Spoilers Mr. K still hates it. “This isn’t scifi! Nothing is happening!” He prefers the Hallmark Channel. He’s sensitive.

Steam

We’re at Steamers on the river. We sat outside. It’s a bit chilly, but we’re in the sun.
