adventures in spaciousness

Not much done on this, but there's some sketchy stuff and a partial first layer of paint. Who knows when I'll get around to working on it more, and I don't want to forget about posting these or lose them, so here they are.

Icons for kapuahi:




 

- Except this is before Havi and Alexis moved in, and we're still waiting for Ha to get here, so there will be more photos after everyone's actually, y'know, here. With all their stuff. Zee and I (um, mostly I) are somewhat lacking in the stuff department. (My inner minimalist cried a little when Havi showed up with throw pillows and bathroom rugs, but hey, I'll live.)

(Yes, I put flax seed in my tortillas. It makes them less likely to fall apart.)

First, I have to post the icons I made some time ago. Otherwise, this story isn't going to make sense. So:





#9 Is Gary from Alphas, with the scene that inspired this icon set. My brain went YES THAT! and ran with it, because light! movement! meanings!
tl;dr living in my brain is a lot like being surrounded by symbolism on crack.

Story time: I pulled up wikiquote to find the Joseph Campbell thing I wanted to quote at Tasha, and it wasn't there. What was:

( Big picture! )

It's strangely delightful to have your assigned meaning show up in someone else's mind.

   
Pictured: plain Greek yogurt with coconut, berries, and dextrose (food hacks!); black beans seasoned with I-don't-remember, mung bean sprouts, celery. (Is there anything I won't eat celery with? Probably not. It's fun to use as a utensil, and it's one of my few unequivocally-safe-to-eat vegetables.)

I mostly failed at cooking this week - in the sense that not much turned out nice enough to make me want to take photos, not in the sense that I didn't do it. Which, as you know, Bob, is normally not very conducive to me eating - but homemade tortillas are enough fun to make that I'll forgive them for not being very pretty.

My attempt at maple-oat-soy bread was a pretty spectacular failure that ended up muffins, and I gave those away because I didn't like the texture. (And then went and got bread from the bakery, because I've been craving bread like nothing else...but a day later I'm regretting it. Wheat: still not on the good list.) Homemade soy milk was...messy, and I didn't have cloth to filter it through on hand, so I ended up decanting it. There's labs coming in useful in the kitchen again ;) Next effort may get photographed. 

None of which are very interesting. Oh, but the other photo links are finally fixed!

Right, so - I have photos from the end-of-semester portfolio review, it's just a matter of cropping them all and uploading them. Eventually.
For now, have some icons:

   

I spent today organizing my brain, which ~counts but can't really be photographed. Part of that involved physical cleaning, but there wasn't enough to make for a good photo there, either.

Final exams start soon, but paperwork for summer housing is before that, and afterwards is moving day. I fully intend to spend the summer doing the mental equivalent of spring cleaning, because I have all this stuff that isn't working for me or needs repurposed or reframed or repaired. Moving will help with that, I hope. I am not unpacking a single thing until I know where it belongs, even if that means living out of boxes for a week. (I'm not really sure if I'm talking about my mind or my living space, at this point. Not that they're so different to begin with.)

Also, because I have been linking this everywhere: this is interesting. (Well, for people who find things titled "Exploring the link between reading fiction and empathy: Ruling out individual differences and examining outcomes" interesting.)
