A photo of me posing in a costume. It’s a white ghost with a big head and long curvy legs that stretch out from my chest to my feet but are doing their own thing on the way down.

Last week I made a costume! It’s the Cab Calloway leggy ghost from “Snow-White,” the Max Fleischer Betty Boop short. I haven’t sewn anything in a long time, and I made a lot of mistakes but I also really enjoyed the process and am excited to do some more soon.

A Prius parked away from the camera on a steep hill. The skyline in the distance shows we're very, very high up. Two wooden doors are poking out of the trunk, held down with bright orange straps.

I bought an old exterior door for $100 today from a friendly guy on Craigslist. I knew it wasn’t going to fit in the car, so I brought some ratchet straps. What I didn’t expect was that this guy lived on the higest point in Highland Park, up like a 50° hill. The car beeped the whole time home to make sure I knew the lift gate was unlatched, but otherwise I’m very proud of my tethering abilities! Also he threw in a solid interior door for free that I guess I’ll use for lumber, hell yeah.

A picnic table with a red-and-white checkered table cloth holds a ridiculous collection of wooden cars all lined up, ready to race.

Two play cars sitting on a street corner. They are both eerily drained of color.

I want to push this thing over so bad. Legally this is a joke for humor purposes only

Pleased to see a Mike Bennett piece in my neighborhood!

Didn’t know Merlin had this kind of pull honestly
