wash, dry, fold

i was trying to remember what sally mann’s work reminded me of and my kind reader, yotam, suggested it was jack radcliffe.

he was right.

radcliffe documented his daughter’s life from infancy to adulthood. he writes:

…Alison permitting me access to private moments of our life, which might, under different circumstances, be off-limits to a parent. The camera, early in her life, became part of our relationship…

…I wanted to photograph her in all her extremes, and to be part of these times in her life without judging or censoring…

a few months ago i saw some photos of an american photographer who documented his daughter’s whole life. i can’t come up with his name right now. mann’s work reminds me of his.

fuck you, penguin is a very funny blog.

i wonder who’s behind it.

three people told me this week that i look like i’ve lost some weight.

if three people tell me that, it must be true.

so i weighed myself today and i saw that i gained 2 kg’s.

what was that good for?!

we went on a picnic today. picnics are fun, though i am not really fond of outdoor activities. especially when they involve nature.

once i even wrote a piece about this called OUTDOORS and cited it in front of a crowd of 20 people in a local cafe. it became an instant hit.

the picnic was nice and short. dianne and asher brought jahnun and salads and we brought tea and strawberries. as soon as we finished the food it started to rain and we went home.

today james let me sleep late, so we didn’t go out for coffee even though it’s friday.

we went to pick up noah from the kindergarten together and passed through the supermarket on our way home. i told noah in advance i am not going to buy him anything so when i denied him some toxic juice, he started kicking at screaming. i still didn’t get it for him. (i did get some natural healthy juice instead)

when we got home, i tried to fight with james but he wouldn’t. my parents and brother came over for lunch, which was nice, if you disregard the screeming teething baby. (they brought the food so i don’t have to cook)

after everyone left i helped noah with his worksheets. (i don’t make him study. i swear he likes it!)

the broccoli pie i made for dinner was forgotten there, but surprisingly still is edible (but not really tasty). the caulliflower patties i made for noah came out really disgusting so they went streight to the bin. as a result, noah had a really strange dinner consisting of cold meats, pomela and strawberry yoghurt.

the day ended with the movie 1408, which wasn’t that good, but i didn’t expect much so i didn’t mind. we had cable tv for a few days now and i really enjoy the variety. (but i mostly enjoy conan)

that’s the end of the post i just forced my self to write so my blog doesn’t just disappear because i never have time for it anymore.

good night.

p.s. the photo is of a non burnt broccoli pie which came out very tasty.

Over at Zoomdoggle, Jake Bronstein challenged his readers to do the trump over.
My result is not very satisfactory, but you can’t say I haven’t tried.

My brother got me a comic book which I didn’t really relate to, so I decided to replace it at the comic store.

(he knows I apreciate the present and was not affended by my act)

Since I didn’t have time and I am not really an expert I picked up a book relying on my intuition alone.

I’m happy to say I was right to do so.

ojingogo (pronounced oh-JING-aw-go) by Matthew Forsythe, is a comic about a girl and a squid. It started as a webcomic.

you should visit his blog for more of his wonderful illustrations.

A while ago I featured Aaron Meshon’s illustrations in my blog.

I wanted to buy Noah a Crocodile Creek lunch box illustrated by Aaron Meshon but was disappointed to find out they don’t ship to Israel.

Of course I wrote Aaron to complain and he suggested Crocodile Creek might have retailers in Israel. I looked and looked but was disappointed once again, because I couldn’t find any retailers in Israel.

Well, I was wrong. Crocodile Creek do have retailers in Israel.

I found this ball today in Noah’s room and I realized it was a Crocodile Creek ball. I thought it was illustrated by Aaron Meshon, but a short email from him proved me wrong. Good thing no one reads this blog or this fatal error would have spread like a plague and I would have been put to shame.

I bought the ball about three years ago, I think. Noah really didn’t need any more balls back then, but I liked it so much I had to buy it for him (or was it for me?).

It turned out to be Noah most bouncy ball. It’s time I refill it with air, though.

A short while ago I’ve ordered some items from Tilted Tulip.

Yesterday Noah and I went to pick up the package from the post office:

Noah said it’s just like a treasure chest because of the shiny pins: a kiwi hatpin, a kangaroo hatpin, a seal pin and an apple pin Erika added a seasonal gift, which was so nice of her.

(I didn’t post pictures of the rest of the things that were in the package because they didn’t come out nice in my photos)
