Back in the 80s, how did autodidact polymaths bitch about pendantic details while reading books? Why, by writing in them.
I like finding scribbles in books. Tee hee.
(It’s a Marion Babson mystery. It was OK.)

Couture: Hosed
I’m gearing up to do more silk screening this summer, and I’m trying to improve the process from last year.
One major inconvenience was washing out the silks using a shower hose. To get enough pressure, I put a thumb over the end of the hose, and that worked. Except that that made everything in the bathroom wet, including me.
So I though about getting a garden hose with a pressure nozzle, and connected it to one of the faucets. I got the right connectors (from 24mm to 2/3″ (yeah, so confusing)). But here’s the problem:
Garden hoses are so bendy!
After exploring other options (i.e., rummaging through the Cupboard of Mysteries for half an hour), I found this steel band thingie. It’s kinda bendy, and kinda stiffish.
I gaffaed it onto the hose…
And result!
Much purdy. So work.

I’m experimenting with my newish Blackmagic camera. I ISO’d it down a bit, and f’d it up a bit. So the back wall isn’t a total white block now.
But here I didn’t angle it high enough, and the battery ran out:

I’ve been looking for a copy of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds for quite a while, but it’s apparently been unavailable since like forever. But look what I got today!
Apparently Agnès B released it on DVD in France? Or something? And isn’t that a purdy DVD?
Anyway, thank you, Agnès. I’ll buy even more of your clothes.
