The odds and ends in the creative  world of Thendara M Kida-Gee.

The Old Rainer Brewery, South Seattle

What a weird construction. It so reminds me of some childhood construction I would have made from lego in my parent's study.

I Heart Chickens

We look after these beautiful ladies from time to time , for our neighbors.

They are fascinating, entertaining and inquiring. I gave up eating animals when I was twelve and certainly would have done so sooner had i met a chicken and made the connection. My grandmother had passed her PETA magazines on to me, she never opened them knowing what was inside and when I opened them and learned about what was being done to feed humanity, the murder and torture that went into making this so called "meat" .

I quit the stuff, much to the dismay of said grandmother who did eat meat, mostly.

There is so much disassociation between the meat people eat being animals - we name it things like hot dog, pork chop, steak etc and have no idea whom it has come from.

I am happy I don't eat animals, they are my friends.

Golf Cubes

Not being a player of golf myself I never knew there were cubes involved until staying at a golf based resort.

It was a restraint to not move them, being a language i don't speak I am not sure what that would do to the game of golf.

I like the idea of walking round and wacking balls but I dislike the contamination golf courses seep with their sprays to keep those lawns so perfect, the water use. An  elitist sport based in upper class white male culture, secretive and you know when things are that tidy on the surface it's a real mess beneath, maybe we don't  that and I just assume it in my own biased fashion.

I do like the cubes, let the tetris begin.
