Okay, so I wanted to check out some paintings of Paris, France. I mean, who hasn’t dreamed of strolling through those charming streets and seeing all the iconic landmarks, right? First off, I started digging around to see where I could find the best collections. I figured the museums there must be packed with amazing stuff. And boy, was I right! I found out about the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, and the Musee de l’Orangerie. And get this, there are even more spots dedicated to individual…

Alright, guys, gather ’round, let me tell you about this little project I’ve been messing with lately – we’re talking about Takashi Murakami’s “727”. Yeah, you heard that right. I’ve always been a fan of Murakami’s stuff, ever since I first laid eyes on it. So, I decided, why not dive deep into one of his iconic pieces and see what makes it tick? So, first off, I started digging. I mean, really digging. I wanted to know everything about this “727” thing. Turns out, it’s not just some random…

Alright, let’s talk about this bottle of Heidsieck 1907. You know, the one that’s been making waves. So, picture this: I got wind of this old champagne, thought, “Why not?” and decided to dive in. First things first, I started digging around. This champagne is from way back, 1785, started by a guy named Florens-Louis Heidsieck. Originally, it was just Heidsieck & Co., but then it split up into a few different names, like Piper-Heidsieck, Charles Heidsieck, and this one, Heidsieck Monopole. Fast forward to 2011, a big French luxury…

Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole Roman middle names thing, and let me tell you, it’s a bit of a rabbit hole. Started off just curious, you know? I mean, we all hear about these famous Roman names like “Gaius Julius Caesar” and “Marcus Aurelius,” but what’s the deal with that middle name? So, first thing I did was just a simple search. Found out that in ancient Rome, a lot of folks, especially the guys, had at least two names, and sometimes even three or more! The…

Today, I wanted to try something totally different, and kinda creepy, I’ve got to say. I decided to make a wax figure of Marie Antoinette. Yeah, you heard that right, the famous French queen. This whole thing started when I stumbled upon some facts about Marie Tussaud, you know, the wax museum lady. Turns out, she learned the craft from a dude named Philippe Curtius. So, I thought, why not give it a shot myself? First off, I had to gather some materials. I got some beeswax, a wig, and…

Okay, so the other day I was looking around for some stuff about kids, you know, preteens, and some stories about them. I started by just typing in some simple stuff into the search bar, like “preteen stories” and “kids stories.” First, I clicked on a few of the results that popped up. They were mostly just normal kid stories, nothing too crazy. Then I refined my search a bit more, trying to find something a little more specific, but it’s hard to describe exactly what I was looking for,…

So, I’ve been working on this little project lately, something I’ve always found fascinating: making my own armor out of many interlocking metal rings. I’m talking about chainmail, something like those old medieval knights used to wear. Sounds cool, right? Well, it’s been quite the journey, let me tell you. It all started with an idea. I’ve always been into medieval stuff, and the thought of crafting my own chainmail was just too tempting. So, I decided to give it a shot. I read somewhere that the Celts were the…

Hey guys, it’s been a while! Today, I wanna talk about something that’s been taking up a lot of my time lately: the 1991 Post Collector Series. Yeah, it sounds old, and it is, but that’s part of the charm, right? So, I started by digging into what this series even is. Turns out, it’s a set of 30 baseball cards. They’re not huge, about 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. One thing I noticed right away is that they don’t have any team logos. Kinda weird, but it gives…

So, the other day I was digging through some old boxes in the attic, you know, the usual weekend chore. And guess what I stumbled upon? A 1928 $10 bill! Yeah, I know, pretty cool, right? First thing I did was give it a good look. It’s got Alexander Hamilton front and center, and the Treasury Building on the back. I mean, it looked old, but I had no clue if it was worth anything more than, well, ten bucks. So, I started doing some digging online. Turns out, these…

So, I’ve been messing around with this painting by Henri Matisse, “View of St. Tropez.” It’s a trip, let me tell you. I got really into it, you know, like REALLY into it. First off, I spent hours just staring at images of the thing online. Then I started digging into Matisse’s whole deal. Turns out, the dude was a big shot in the art world, especially when it comes to using color. They call him a “colorist,” which sounds kind of made up, but okay. He did this painting…
