Lie Berry

We went to the library the udder day and it's new and feyncy (fancy). Library21C (that's 21st century, gang). It was loud when we went in, there were kids running around everywhere building lego rockets or something for a competition they were having. I was like, "what kinda libary is this?!" -like an old person. There are sewing machines, 3D printers, a media section with cameras, a green screen, an isolation booth for recording vocals and editing software for audio/video. The guy in charge of that department is named Roland, and our son, Roland, is the only other Roland he has ever met. I'm hoping I can take some free classes up in there, you can check out the cameras and lighting kits (they have some complete package thing you can take home) and make some movies. 

I found a better art app for the tablet, Sketchbook Express. It's free and neat and better than Sketch Guru. I made this lamp with it. It's our bedroom lamp. Ain't it sweet? We got this lamp from the thrift store, of course, but it had a different shade at first and *protip* we swapped it with another lampshade that was cooler.

Do you ever get excited and depressed at the same time, like, "oh man, I'm gunna live my dreams!" and "my dreams are stupid" simultaneously?
