So, I was trying to figure out this whole Salvador Dalí thing. You know, the guy with the melting clocks and all that weird stuff. First, I started by looking up books about him. Just wanted to get a general idea of who this dude was. I stumbled upon this site, Goodreads, and saw that he’s got, like, 347 books listed. Can you believe that? 347! And they’ve got tons of ratings, too. People seem to dig his book “Diary of a Genius.” Then, I wanted to buy some of…

Okay, so, I was thinking about something the other day – Bibles, of all things. Specifically, I was wondering about the difference between the Catholic and Protestant versions. You know, it’s one of those things you hear about but don’t always really understand. So I did what any normal person would do, I started poking around to find out. First off, I tried to get a handle on what makes them different. Turns out, it’s not just a little thing here and there. It’s actually kind of a big deal….

Okay, so yesterday I went on a little adventure to check out some kokopelli petroglyphs. I’d seen some pictures online from, you know, those stock photo sites, and I thought, “I gotta see these things in person!” I love this kind of stuff, those little windows into the past, you know? First, I tried to figure out where to even find these things. I did some digging around, looking for some kind of guide or map, ended up looking up many images. After I confirmed the location, I just packed…

Okay, so today I wanted to dive into something that’s always fascinated me – the execution of Marie Antoinette. You know, the one where she was like a fashion icon to European courts? Yeah, that one. I got really into it, and I’m gonna tell you all about what I did and what I found. First thing, I started by looking up some paintings. I found this one by a guy named William Hamilton, and it’s in the Museum of the French Revolution. This one really got me thinking about…

Okay, so today I want to talk about this crazy art performance I tried to recreate, called “Rhythm 0” by Marina Abramović. You might have heard of it, it’s pretty infamous. The basic idea is that she stood still for six hours and let the audience do whatever they wanted to her using 72 objects she provided. I wanted to see if I could do something similar, to see how people would react and what it would feel like to be so completely vulnerable. I know, sounds wild, right? But…

Alright, so I got really curious about Thor’s hammer. You know, that big ol’ thing he swings around in the movies? I wanted to know, what’s the deal with it? Is it just a big, powerful weapon, or is there more to the story? So, I started digging around. First, I hit up the usual spots, you know, just skimming through some websites. What I found out initially was pretty much what I expected. Thor’s hammer, which I learned is called Mjolnir, is a symbol of strength, power, that kind…

So, I got really into this whole thing about names, especially the ones that give you a bit of a chill. You know, those names with a dark twist. And since I’ve always been fascinated by Japanese culture, I thought, why not dive into Japanese names that mean “evil” or something close to it? It sounded cool, and I was curious to see what I’d find. First, I started by just googling around. I typed in stuff like “Japanese names that mean evil” or “dark Japanese names.” This led me…

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with different swords, trying to figure out which one is the best for combat. It’s a tough question, right? Every sword has its own thing going on. I started by watching a bunch of videos online, you know, the usual stuff where people are swinging swords around and talking about their history. They made everything look so easy and cool. First, I got my hands on a katana. I’d always heard they were amazing for slicing, and let me tell you, that’s no joke….

Okay, here is my sharing about the “antique scarab bracelet” today. I always like to wear some accessories, so I went out today to find some cool stuff. I went to a local store but didn’t find anything I liked. So I thought I’d give it a try online, you know? I just typed “scarab bracelet” into that search bar on a website, and guess what? A whole bunch of bracelets popped up. I gotta say, some of them are pretty eye-catching. I spent a good chunk of time just…

Alright, so, today I wanted to do something different, something shiny, something, well, old-timey. I’ve always been fascinated by those antique lockets, especially the Art Nouveau ones. You know, the ones with all the swirly lines and natural motifs? Yeah, those. I decided to make an “art nouveau locket with diamond”. First things first, I needed some inspiration. I spent a good chunk of the morning scrolling through images online. I started with a general search for “Art Nouveau” and got lost in a rabbit hole of designs. I love…
