So I’m writing this at midnight
I just spent three solid hours
Staring at my ipad
Making an animation
So totally absorbed
in every little illustration
And the accompanying orchestration
that I nearly burnt the whole place down
To my great mortification
You see,
I forgot that I was boiling a pot of water
In the other room
and when I finally went into the kitchen
There was a strange smell in the air
the pot had been sitting bare
on the hot hot burner
for quite some time
SO much so
that the ENAMEL WAS MELTING
inside the pot
There used to be holes in the enamel
ANd now there are not.
The bottom of the pot is completely smoothed over
Cuz of the enamel just melting away
And the wood handle was starting smoke
It could have been a real bad day
Had I not discovered it in time.
Moral of the story:
Ingeborg is no longer allowed
To use the stove
When she is making art
The end.
