Add sliced up grape tomatoes to it for some sweetness and a tad of sour to counterbalance the saltiness.

A Cute Little Bookstore in Agricola Street Books
I had a chance to visit a cute and cozy little used bookstore called Agricola Street Books. I was there during their book buy-back weekend, and while I waited for them to value my book for store credit, I made a quick walk around video, being very TikTok mind-oriented these days. When they were done, I basically had enough for the one thing I saw in the store I wanted, and made an impulse buy, something I rarely ever do. But for things Van Gogh, it’s easy to Tan Gogh and buy!
I edited it later, narrating it and putting the appropriately named Literature voice effect (voiceover) on it. It’s a female voice, but you see how effective and nice these voice effects are to keep a clean and even sound. And maybe you can understand why I prefer to use them rather than my own voice.
Charming little bookstore, don’t you think?
Tiny Origami by Me
I saw a 60s doc on someone who did tiny origami for a career! And I thought I’d try it myself, even though I have made smaller origami. The latter was with tweezers, and didn’t look great as it wasn’t supposed to, having been a test for Japanese potential surgery med students. Man, I mean talk about having confidence in your surgeons if they were able to fold a paper crane out of 1 cm square paper! At that small size, paper thickness relative to size becomes a factor because it doesn’t get 15X thinner just because you use paper 15X smaller in a square side, and 225X smaller in surface area!
How do you think I did? I have no intention of trying the crack the market to make a career, or even money, out of it, though.
Upped my Gift Wrapping Skills
Before Christmas, I was asked to volunteer to do giftwrapping for a charity. I was going to say no, only because I was a terrible gift wrapper, but I decided to finally remove a weakness I’ve had for over 50 years… despite being a good origamist who can fold paper like most people can’t!
My First TikTok Surprise
After 199 consecutive posts of mostly flag designs, I am no longer ahead of the game to post more. At least not posts I can yet share, or that I’d care to share because I discarded those designs without using them for my initial consultations. But I’ve been active on TikTok of late, so I’ll share some of my adventures there in this and future posts.
