not an earth shattering entry this one. nothing insightful. just a quick intro of rupert the new betta fish.
the girls were fighting. pissing me off. went to the aquarium store on another matter and the guy told me to bring the girls back.
wasn't easy though. i've never ever EVER returned any animal i've brought home...no matter how crazy they are! [let me refer you to exhibit A: matea!]
but i'd had it with the girls. hard to work at my desk when they're right there in front of me, joan crawford being so mean to sweet rhonda.
so that's that. when i left the store, he'd already plunked them into the girl betta tank and i spotted joan immediately....and was gratified to see that although she looked the best in the tank, she was finally cornered. serves that bitch right.
so, this is rupert. he's in janet's office and i'm sure she'll love him. they haven't met yet.
The sketches are designs for the page-a-day collage book I'm working on. I did a great job for the first 19 days of March, then I forgot the book at school and I'm now four days behind. Of course I forgot it again today. I plan to cut out the pieces for at least one day and make another sketch for today's entry. Tomorrow I need to put it in the car when I get to school.
This book was included in the Visual Journals exhibition at Abecedarian Gallery in Denver Colorado in 2011.
Tiny manual turned gratitude journal. That's a standard post-it note on the front, for size comparison. The manual was from a SD card reader.

p.20 A lazy day, stark contrasts at the Forum Mall: shiny consumerism and dingy reality. Saying "please" is like begging here—waiting for my nonalcoholic drink named Romeo & Juliet. It never came.
p.21 Scenes from Kalighat: the goddess, a line of scared tourists walks through, baby with kohl, rituals we don't understand and the group of aggressive men outside who offered to take us in.

I extended a photo from a catalog and journaled on the brown part. It's *really* hard to read, but I like the look. Maybe I should have journaled on the road instead.
I have a tendency sometimes to journal or sketch on whatever is handy. Most of the time the bits and pieces make it into my journal in a timely manner. Sometimes they don't. This sketch was done over a year ago. I found it in a pile of stuff I intended to glue into my journal. Better late than never.
5 January 2019, left side: great weather, walk on Falckensteiner beach. In the evening we saw Wallace & Gromit "The Wrong Trousers". I think the evil penguin is best!
January 6, 2019, right side: Weather changed, suddenly everything was gray. We went for a walk in Heikendorf and saw a woodcut exhibition in the House of artists. Unbelievable how filigree some of these pictures were!

5. Januar 2019, linkes Seite: Großartiges Wetter, Spaziergang am Falckensteiner Strand. Abends haben wir Wallace & Gromit "Die Technologe" gesehen. Ich finde den bösen Pinguin am besten!
6. Januar 2019, rechte Seite: Wetterumschwung, auf einmal ist alles grau. Wir waren in Heikendorf spazieren und haben uns eine Holzschnitt-Ausstellung im Künstlerhaus angesehen. Unglaublich, wie filigran einige dieser Bilder waren!

Trial page, trying out some paper weaving. Love this technique! Would work well for plain pages of journaling (lots of those in my last journal), especially if the journaling is a bit too personal to share online...
June 18 & 19, 2011...the photo is hinged onto the page...here it is shown closed...
I blogged about these pages here -
