smoove operator, Friday, 9 December 2011 03:43 (twelve years ago) link

In two parts.

1. Patti Smith. Four photos, but counts as one thing on my wall, IMO.

2. Archie Bell and the Drells, in a floating frame.

The two bigger ones I bought at a chain craft store in NC in the early 00s, like a Michael's or a Hobby Lobby or something. They were white and I painted them with cast iron-effect craft paint. The other one I bought at TJ Maxxxxxx/Marshall's/one of those places.

That's why I keep the map to Pierogi Heaven.

thejenny, Friday, 9 December 2011 20:03 (twelve years ago) link

I want to go to pierogi heaven! Chicago sounds more awesome each time I learn something new about it. Pierogi Heaven!

On the walls of my cube I have:

1) a calendar I got from Etsy (lol thejenny)
2) two cartoons of pugs
3) picture of Benson wrapped in a blanket
4) a card from my boss

ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ (~curious orange~), Friday, 9 December 2011 20:08 (twelve years ago) link

None of which are really interesting enough to warrant taking pics of right now.

Ha, a few weeks ago (and again, a few days ago), I got into a long argument with someone who thought Burt Lancaster, in The Sweet Smell of Success, and I have the same glasses. Evidently not having the same glasses isn't convincing enough.

Map to Pierogi Heaven.

I actually almost went to Pierogi Heaven for lunch today. As in, I dawdled outside and peered in before deciding to get a sandwich somewhere else.

Ronan: A poster for Stalker! Where did you come by that? I love it.

Great thread idea :)

This, as a large framed print:

This woodcut print by Australian 30s artist Christian Waller as a framed postcard I got from the ANG (would LOVE to find a poster sized version)
http://cs.nga.gov.au/IMAGES/LRG/32161.JPG
Along with a bunch of other various B&W pics I took myself, postcardy sized, in littl frames in an arrangement

This is the kitchen wall, our corkboard: many of those postcards are from ILXors!

(also featuring a scribbled pizza dough recipe that I cleverly noted needs "4 cups warm water" and "2 tbsp warm water". o_0

Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it. (Trayce), Friday, 9 December 2011 22:52 (twelve years ago) link

jaymc when you are out lunching that close to my work, you should let me know! If you want lunch company, that is.

thejenny, Saturday, 10 December 2011 00:00 (twelve years ago) link

He probably doesn't. The jaymc I know likes to eat his pierogies in peace. Metta World Peace.

Jeff, Saturday, 10 December 2011 00:12 (twelve years ago) link

Fuck you, pierogi.

James Ensor! Belgium's famous painter! Pick him up and shake his hand! Appreciate the man!

Dranke, the German Drake Impersonator (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 10 December 2011 06:58 (twelve years ago) link

i thought the lyric was "dig him up and shake his hand"!

Ronan: A poster for Stalker! Where did you come by that? I love it.

I got it on Amazon actually, it's quite small and was fairly expensive for the size. I really should get it framed as I currently just have it stuck on the wall.

SandboxGarda (HI IT'S RONAN), Saturday, 10 December 2011 11:48 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, it is "dig him up" now that you mention it.
