Potholders and Roald Dahl.

Today is about these things:


1. Roald Dahl. Of all of his literary accomplishments, I believe that his most valuable contribution was his devotion to silliness. When I read Roald Dahl, I am eight years old and I want to jump rope and make mud pies (is eight too old to do that?) and speak in a British accent. His autobiography, Boy, is a gem. I plan on reading Uncle Oswald very soon.

2. Potholders. Specifically, these potholders which I'm making. Are they targeted for six year-olds? Yes. Does this deter me from making them? Certainly not.

3. Strawberry cream cheese. It's yummy.

4. This band that I unearthed from the murky labyrinthine depths of last.fm.

May your day be filled with sundry delights and lots of sunshine.
