Softsheep Etsy Store!

Lilian set up an Etsy shop for me. It doesn't have too much stuff on it right now.

We priced things steeply because we're almost afraid of getting orders. I want to put up some of my other drawings so that I can get rid of them and have more space for more.

Time Banking Community

I heard a really interesting story about time banking today. It is like bartering, but instead of directly exchanging goods, you provide services and you log how much time you spend, and then you can redeem them for other people's services.

The system in Boston is Time Trade Circle

Fancy Fish Recipe


At Oishii, there is this black cod dish that is really amazing. I found a recipe online, though, and now I'm trying to make it. The miso I used is not that white, though. It is more orange.

Lynn Jewelry Inc

Lynn has started making earrings and selling them on etsy, and I bought a pair today! They are kind of like these.

Getting Back Into the Groove

I've started dancing again with the old Polynesian dance group from college. Now they rent space from Green St Studios and share the costs depending on how many people show up. I'm performing this Friday for the MIT Vegetarian Luau. It's good to get exercise again and also reconnect with people.

Aquaponics

Aquaponics sounds really awesome, especially if the fish can just be fed table scraps/human food rather than having to buy little fish.
