While it was great tropical weather, the only thing folks wanted to talk about was the US election, and why we elected Von FuckFace..
Now that I'm back, and DU is back, it will be my main source of news...

(18,402 posts)white porcelain. I kid you not. It is totally cleansing my brain. It is about whiteness, and about the about the process of creating the finest form of this thousand-year-old invention, made from the earth. It's also a travelogue, as he visits the "white hills" regions of China, Germany, and England, and a quirky history. I would normally not consider myself a candidate for such a book, but it seemed perfect for escaping these times. Plus, I was a huge admirer of the author, Edmund de Waal, who wrote "The Hare with Amber Eyes."
The book:
The author's own white porcelain work
I am also playing a lot of solitaire and doing crosswords and sudokus.

(29,673 posts)I can't, I'm afraid I'd throw something at my tv. I only watch local news. I'm doing a lot of games on my iPad, and watch all the Christmas movies on hallmark channel., I've seen them at least twice. Also the weather channel is nice this time of year. I'm still sick......wake up almost everyday worrying about tRump and his presidency...... I sincerely hope I make it through this nightmare, oh and thank you DU, you're the only bright spot in my terribly dark place right now.
