Things have been somewhat low-key lately, and I have not had much energy for blogging or printing, though I hear the call of the metal from the basement; it is saying “press me into paper”. Soon. Soon. (Speaking of which, does anybody have a good recommendation on where to get high quality papers in the Boston area (besides Bob Slate and Paper Source; I already know them and what they have)?)

We had an OK long weekend, but I feel like I’ve little to show for it, except for finally taking down all our Christmas decorations. The tree that we bought from the boy scouts in Arlington really lasted, though it smelled strangely like urine from the moment we got it home.

We did have a nice little relaxing and romantic day trip to Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon, and found a nice antiques store where they had this huge square dining room table which really inspired me to get a really huge square dining room table. I keep thinking about it. We haven’t been to Portsmouth since probably last summer when we went with Trixie and The Villain, and there’s a surprising amount of building that’s done. RiverRun books moved to Congress St, and in their old location is SecondRun, for their used books.

We finished reading (aloud) Popism, the gossipy book by Andy Warhol and Pat Hackett about Warhol’s 60’s scene. The story ends badly, with a big “the party’s over” thud, but it’s overall a fun read. It was a good choice for a Terri & Ezra read-aloud, because it’s written in a very oral style– I’m guessing it was dictated by Andy to Pat Hackett. Maybe more on it later.
