I never realized how much connection I have with the clay. More of how much my emotions are effect throwing clay. This past Thursday, I had wedged 3 balls of clay balls of clay. And they all fell apart when I threw them on the wheel. One actually even lifted my bat. I’ve been in [...]

My friend VM just got back from having the infamous Katz’s pastrami. Strangely enough, I had just gone to Katz’s last week with JD. VM was in awe that it was my first time there. Quite a shocker for a native New Yorker. I’ve always past by Katz’s but never really been in there. I [...]

Argh! I was throwing my clay on the wheel and my bat decided to go flying. Woops! It went a few feet away and my clay landed face down. In addition, my splash pan split open. it was not a good day. For some reason, every time I try to lift or center the clay, [...]

After my NYCares project I met up with the twins to go head over to the DUMBO art festival. We had to hustle because open studio was going to be over at 6pm. Of course, we got there at the knick of time. Got to check out some stuff that we would consider art and [...]

I went out and about with my mom today. As we got on the train, this lady was occupying another seat with her bag. She reluctantly moved her bag when she saw my mom and her wet umbrella. How rude. These are the people that really need to get fined on the train. At [...]

What is it with the office and food. But we’re talking about food. The other day, while preparing my lunch a few of my co-workers were weaving in and out of the kitchen. And they all had the same reaction to my Nutella. It was always N-U-T-E-L-L-A like they were in some kind of trance. [...]

It was many first today. I made my first bowl in my pottery class. So psyched. Can’t wait to learn to trim, and hopefully I can glazed that sucker. After 3 classes. That’s so cool. The couple from the first class showed up again. My fellow classmates usually refer to them as the Couple. But [...]

Have you noticed that when we get older that things somethings get reduced to politeness and pleasantries. All you have to do is keep saying nod and smile. I realized this when I ran into a friend of mine from junior high school. Or perhaps, I’ve just become too cynical for my own good and [...]
