That Vertigo Thing

Yeah, kayso, I'm dealing with some vertigo right now. Like scrolling the screen literally makes me feel as if I'm going to fall off the sofa. It's an old song, but one that still plays on, even though the record is severely scratched.

I think what set it off today was being in a warm environment (my studio) and going out into a cold environment (outside). The temp difference I guess confuses the inner ear and then away we go. It's kind of like having a caloric conversion test. The one the ENT gives you where they swirl hot or cold water into your ear and it makes you feel as though you're going to fall off the table. It's my very favorite one. Kind of makes you leery of hot and cold running water.

Had a relatively productive day in the studio. I actually started glazing a kiln load of pots and such. I had to vacuum out the kiln since I had an exploding piece of greenware last load. The shards went all the way to the top rows of coils, which is not a cool thing at all. Kind of shortens the life of your very expensive coils. I had to hang over the side of the kiln, looking like Winnie the Pooh stuck in the honey tree. I kid you not. And to facilitate all that, I had to take the shop vac apart and clean it because it was apparently pissed about having not had that done. Dust everywhere. But it's done.

We also had more visitors today than we've had all week, which is good and sad at the same time. I wish we had more traffic. I'm thinking the publicist needs to get on the ball.

And that is the end of my very uninteresting thing. You know. Blah blah blah fishcakes.

I bid you adieu.
