Sunday February 2: Groundhog Day. 5:56. On the sidebar of austinkleon.com the post for 2/2/2021 was about Groundhog Day one year into the Pandemic. So today is Groundhog Day FIVE years on. Question for today: what is the equivalent of making an ice sculpture, doing something kind, playing the piano? Thank you Bill Murray. Thank you Austin.
don't know what i'd do without my UHU gluesticks (21g). I buy them by the boxload. And i have a special box of japanese ricepaste glues as well as an assortment of wheatpaste glues for when gluesticks are just not enough which is, indeed, a rare event.
I love junk journaling ! Very relaxing I do admit for my NFL journaling I buy stickers but …there’s some funky stuff to be found which makes it more fun 🤩 helmets weird team numbers from years past lots of 10sand 15s (I wonder why?)
I, too, have a passion for glue. I feel like I have been to glue college, having experimented with so many types, and now have settled in to my favorites! I make junk journals, and sometimes they become art journals. Though they always start as junk journals. I have beautiful paper ,many, many types, colors and textures, which usually start a page with a collage, but my favorite supply is... scraps! Torn bits of packaging material, tiny pieces of fabric, old broken charms, and the odd button. They have so much character, and a beautiful "oldness" about them. I also love to put quotes on my pages, using wisdom from Kahlil Gibran to Miss Piggy. I could go on and on, but you get the idea! I am so glad that you shared the article about junk journals!
The SNL documentary! Robin Sloan’s writing! Much joy, thank you very much.

I’ve got Brothers on my shelf! Looking forward to reading. Thanks for the recommendations on the other two Van Halen books.

Thanks for the reminder, so what if it’s crap. The important thing is to keep showing up.

There's a ridiculous but very uplifting DJ edit of that Charlie Chaplin speech: https://open.spotify.com/track/2VJc4bhwtkvX1tZ6so5MtR?si=187546c30e344800
Thanks for the Charlie Chaplin info. Brilliant stuff.
70% rule is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it. I think Oliver should put his name on that page.
Wasn't that a great 7 minutes? I've just about finished Questlove's Music is History, so what a gift to watch that intro.
