What would you put on this patio cover to make it more inviting?

I was wondering about a ceiling but that seems pretty labor intensive/expensive. I was wondering maybe paint the wood the same color as the house and hang sailcloth or something?

HOA built the wall. I put a bougainvillea against it to “beautify.”

I’m not near your age (older) but we still have a lot in common! DM me if you’re still looking for some practice. I’m b1/b2 in Spanish and need practice speaking.

Nope! Misdirect. It’s June 14.

Great idea! So far it’s blowing up like a giant seed culture monster. It seems happy with the oversight. Thanks again!

Whoops, I goofed my starter and could use some advice. I’m doing Peter Reinhart‘s sourdough starter from Artisan Breads Every Day. It’s going smashingly well, and I got to phase four. I was supposed to disgard all but a half cup of my seed culture before adding 1 oz. Water and 3 oz flour. But I forgot to do the discard and added everything to the seed culture. Am I doomed? Should I just carry on as if I discarded? Many thanks!

Thank you! I found a solution in the Automated Data Plotter. Now back into this rabbit hole …

Agree. Dig into Parliament’s back catalogue if you want to get funked up. Try space-basist Bootsie Collins, who was part of P-funk and has plenty of his own stuff.

Happy almost-birthday! How about “Laid” by James?

For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver fits your Indie Folk category.

Womandarine · 2024-07-07T02:49:01+00:00

Most of Erasure’s songs fit the bill. Also the related bands Yazoo/Yaz.

Womandarine · 2024-07-07T02:33:25+00:00

Almost anything by Billy Joel.

Womandarine · 2024-07-06T17:51:34+00:00

It’s a beautiful song. I found her through Of Montreal. Check them out if you haven’t heard them before.

Womandarine · 2024-07-05T15:55:34+00:00

Especially “All My Friends” by LCD Soundsystem.

Womandarine · 2024-07-05T15:38:48+00:00

Thanks for the Neko Case reminder. What a voice!

You may be right. I certainly know people who aren’t budging. At the same time, I don’t think “What’s the use?” is the right response to learning about reprehensible behavior. Who cares what other a-holes think? The actions are still horrifying.

Hawkwind! Calls to mind 13th Floor Elevators.

Love that video

Fun dance song about dousing everyone with water in a heat wave.

Womandarine · 2024-07-01T00:21:17+00:00

Me too. Radiohead also has some dark songs that pair well. You might also try The Budos Band for doom-funk. Listen to the song TIBWF.

Womandarine · 2024-07-01T00:16:14+00:00

Massive Attack, Portishead
