Views & News: Still 50 edition
May. 5th, 2026 05:26 pm1. Because of work and another scheduled commitment tomorrow, and two 12-hour shifts later in the week, I decided that today would be my lazy, do-what-I-want day, so I had my session with jazz man, came home and collaged, on an off, from about 10 am to 4 pm. I made one regular card, a double-sided postcard card, one 2-page spread and two 1-page spreads. And I listened to Curtain (Poirot's final case) on audiobook on YT. And had scrambled eggs and then later, a BLT, and two cups of coffee. And the fried plantains I found at Wegman's (because today is also Cinco de Mayo).
It was good.
2. What is the word for being annoyed at how much romance, romantic relationships, marriage, fidelity and infidelity, etc. consume popular media/art/conversation? Whatever it is, I have come down with a bit of that. Like, can we talk about something else? Anything else.
3. I got an oversized book at the library about the Hirshhorn Museum and I am looking forward to leafing through that. I love those kind of books even though I will never own a coffee table to put them on!
4. Now I am going to read and scan some of these spreads and enjoy my last day of being 50.
