Thanks Be To Cat

July 16, 2019December 11, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

As we prepare for this holiday season, let us not forget what it is truly about: Sending your cat to board at a place where they take vaguely seasonal pictures of him, and apparently give him a collar. What do you want from me?

Items Available For Purchase, Possibly As Gifts

July 16, 2019December 2, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

As I believe I have mentioned in this space a few times before, I have a store on Zazzle, where various items are for sale with designs I produced from pre-1923* sheet music covers. If you bought one of them, I would get some money, which would be pretty cool. This is the one that … Read more

Lessons From A First Day of Run-Commuting

July 16, 2019September 24, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

Multitasking in the Key of Ow It seemed like a good idea at the time. The ferry terminal is only about three miles from my house, which is a doable but long walk. Taking the ferry home is nice, but it means that I don’t have time to work out in the gym at work. … Read more

#ProduceTip

July 16, 2019September 16, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

Your vegetables will look approximately 372% more glamorous if you put them in a fancy gardening basket. Wheelbarrow optional. On a related note, does anyone know what I can do with three habaneros? That won’t kill me?

A Second Letter to Judy Wenzel of 307 N 12th Ave Wasau, WI

July 16, 2019July 11, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

Dear Judy Wenzel of 307 N 12th Ave Wasau, WI, What happened last year? This is the second time you have used my email address to book yourself into a hotel during the month of September–this time it’s the Best Western on 1001 N. 14th Ave in Sturgeon Bay, WI–and I can’t help but notice … Read more

The Fifth Annual Cheesemonger Invitiational

July 16, 2019July 10, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

Picture, if you will, a cold storage unit in Long Island City. Outside it is a grubby wasteland of featureless warehouses and tiny pieces of broken glass, with only a few taped-up signs and a line of suspiciously young and well-dressed people to mark the door. Inside, a man in a cow costume is standing on … Read more

Live-Blogging the Met

July 16, 2019June 30, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

Well, live-tweeting actually, since blogger’s mobile interface is, shall we say, poor. But if you feel like it, around 2 pm Eastern time I will actually be physically in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, looking at things and making comments about them on twitter, as @daisyj. I promise to try to find more interesting than … Read more

Blogging the Met: Mostly Jars

July 16, 2019June 19, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

They have a lot of stuff at the Met[citation needed]. Pieces of rock that might have been part of something, pieces of rock that might have been used for something, sherds, etc. But, if you are going by the things they have collected that are not pieces of something else, a person might be forgiven … Read more

Blogging the Met: Some Interesting and Uninteresting Things

June 13, 2014 by Daisy Bateman

One of the problems I have with major museums is the inevitable feeling that you missed almost everything. No matter how dedicated you are, even if you wear ugly shoes, you are guaranteed to end the day tired, foot-sore and blurry-brained from information overload, and you still will only have actually looked at about 0.003% … Read more
