Some pictures from the Sacred and Profane

This year's Sacred and Profane was a wet one. I helped my friend Kim with her piece- a giant papier-mache volcano with hand made charcoal for participants to draw on the walls and a nice warm fire to congregate around. We whitewashed the walls in one of the end rooms at the Battery on Friday and then lugged the volcano over on the ferry wrapped in plastic to ward off the rain on Saturday. Around 4 we erupted the volcano with a bunch of red-dyed baking soda and vinegar and then burned the volcano. There was a lot of drawing on the walls too, here are some images from the day- setup and then during the S&P.

todays topic: ye olde vs. ye newe

am i the only one slightly tickled but mostly bothered by all these 'ye olde' blah blah blahs? especially when it's some kind of 'ye olde shoppe' of some kind or another?
i want to see a
YE NEWE
or two.

happy belated birthday, b.

why i love my name so much: there are double consonants in all of the four parts of it.
there is nothing i like more than words with double letters. now, ideally, i prefer double 'o's, but i will take what i can get. and i'm quite satisfied with my lot.
on that note, hear are a few examples of real beauty:

harpoon
harpoon-gun(my favorite word of all time, incidentally.)((it has a great punchiness to it, don't you think? yum.))(((i know it probably counts as two words, but i always slip the hyphen in there to try and loophole around it. hey! loophole's not bad either.)))
kangaroo
('kangaroo pouch' is how i like to hear the word kangaroo best)
monsoon
typhoon
loony
moon
moon-moon
cartoon
a-choo
choo-choo
roost
door
floor
shoot
scoot
brood
blood
zoo
