Flat pieces and Netbook
First firing in 2011 is done. It was ok firing. Fired the flat pieces, pitcher, and soy pourer. I like them. The shape gives more dimensions, and the softness to the curve. I glued the cork to the cap, and looks good, I think. Now moved to the teapot.
I fixed the LCD of my netbook, the first replacement LCD I bought at the EBay did not work well, but second one I picked up the website recommended in this blog worked perfectly. I changed the wifi network adapter to Intel Wifi Link 5100 as well. Reception in the basement went up significantly. It was from 802.11b/g to 802.11n with the same g router. I am pleasantly surprised. On the very bad note, my ford winstar is in shop, will cost $1600 to repair the engine malfunction light. It was running all right, though. Well, lots of mugs. Mug is so cheap compared to these repairs. I am in wrong business....

Ready to fire
I went the dentist for a pea-side blister on the gum next the molar, and he extracted the molar being infected a week ago. I was just shocked he said to extract it since I did not have any discomfort or bad taste in the mouse. It was like the moive, Marathon Man for the procedure to extract despite several novacaine shots. Just pure torture. After coming home, I had fever for two days. I should insist to wait for a week.
Finally loaded the kiln. I need to wait until Friday due to forecast of the possible wind. Well, there are many orders in this kiln, so better be patient. The storm system will not be as bad as the first forecasted for tomorrow. We missed two big storms, NYC is expecting 14". Less shoving is always good news.

New year
A happy new year. Our daughter was back in the town from Abu Dhabi. She loves the collage there, and seems very comfortable living and studying. She went back on the new year's day. 22 hours, the same as traveling to Japan.
I am back in studio after a week off. I applied most of shows for this summer. I decided not to apply the Three River Art Festival this year. I really like Pittsburgh, so I hope to find another shows in the future.
Lots of small pieces are out of stocks, and I am busy throwing on the wheel. I will have the first firing early next week. I signed up the show called "Thaw" in the Hungerford building, and have no idea what to do. It's in March. Rather thinking about it, I decided to make something, and inspire myself. I still do not know what to do.....
