Photo: ARMY bomb
Apr. 18th, 2022 02:34 pmThis is my ARMY bomb (also called 'lightstick' when you are going through TSA security in American airports because the last thing you want to mention is bombs to those guys). I bought it at a booth outside the stadium. The best part is that there was a pairing booth beside the purchase booth and they would sync it up to your seat for you. When the concert starts, you turn it on and it flashes different colours and patterns according to the set list. At one point, it spells out BTS and ARMY in the seats. I wasn't planning on getting one but when I saw the pairing booth, I considered they were taking care of the confusing part for me and I caved. Supposedly, I can use it at the next concert (should I ever make it to one). And of course they sell 'decorating kits,' but I'm fine with plain. These were some of the bombs which were ordered for the Map of the Soul tour which was cancelled because of the pandemic. And there were photocards (wallet sized photos of the boys) inside. So win-win!
It works outside of the concert, too. Just lights up and flashes. No colour.

Notes: I just finished a graphic novel called I Know What I Am by Gina Siciliano about artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
Also for: GYWO 2022 Yahtzee Roll #3 prompt: brave
and just what do we make of these hands of mine
these hands which could not fend off violation
which were crushed to truth under accusation
which, knarled and snarled, have known little anodyne
these which have packed, fleeing debt, rogue threat vulpine
so many times, which counted coins and station,
which have balled with rage, impotent frustration?
what of these fingers, palms? how do they align?
brave? these which learned to grind when still tender-skinned,
which have caressed life and death, child and lover,
which ever drew a brush across canvas fine?
these which bear stain, of paint, of sin, of letters penned,
which have learned and learned again, which uncover
all, you may call them ‘brave,’ I’ll just call them ‘mine’

Collage Journaling: Mushrooms & Music
Apr. 18th, 2022 06:20 pmI was trying to do some of The Crafty Lefty of Youtube's prompts.
1. Mushrooms/cottagecore. I'm not crazy about this one. I've done it before. I have a lot of mushroom stickers but not much to go with them, if that makes sense.
2. Music. I didn't want to do too much to this. I bought the dancer die-cuts off the internet when I sent a birthday card to BTS' j-hope (I know I'm patently ridiculous but yes) and have many left over.
