This morning, I woke up to a world of this. Guess we won’t be traveling today. Tomorrow is supposed to be just fine. That gives me a full day to laze around, catch up online, bake cookies, wrap presents, listen to Christmas music…

I have this foolish idea that my office/studio at home should be somewhere that I could actually, well, work, not just store piles of stuff. That’s crazy talk, I know, but I keep trying. Most recently, I cleaned the desk. I put away or otherwise disposed of all the clutter…

Baking and the associated dishwashing were not my only activities today. There was quite a lot of coffee-drinking and snow-watching as well, seasoned by a large dose of last.fm. A few more active endeavors: I can easily get to my bookshelf for the first time in the past year. Business…
Welcome!
I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.
