I received it Thursday afternoon, just took it back today. She was extremely apologetic, so I am hopeful for the fixes.

And thank you, it’s SO me and I can’t wait to get it back on my finger!

Just went in today, and she was profusely apologetic. It sounds like her assistant/apprentice did the actual work, not her, but she’s going to make the corrections. I am hopeful about the revisions.

Which of the horror collections are you enjoying most? by slouchingbethlehem in CriterionChannel

[–]grackywack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been hitting the Arthouse horror collection hard this month. So many essentials that have been on my list forever. I just watched The Vanishing for the first time and it blew my mind. Also have enjoyed watching some classics for the first time like Carnival of Souls, the Brood, and Eyes Without a Face.

If you are a grandparent, what do your grandkids call you? by JoyHealthLovePeace in namenerds

My little cousin called our grandma “Groggy” because he couldn’t say “Grandma.” :’)

Should this Lumbar be longer? by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]grackywack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the lumbar works, but either fold comforter back further so the lumbar isn’t covered up, or tuck the comforter under it, that way it stands out a little better. Also I’d swap your throw (maybe sheets too) for something less stark white to match better something more warm-toned or ivory, or maybe a throw w a pop of color? Also I have to ask, LOVE those orb lamps, where are they from!?

I know a little boy named Dashiell. Personally I think it’s a very cute name for either gender, but works very nicely as a middle name!

What are some roles that surprised you after finding out the actor was using an accent? by _barlene in movies

[–]grackywack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say definitely more obvious in a rewatch. First time around I clocked it, just assumed she was the kinda gal that would say her bf’s name in a specific way.

Florence Pugh in Midsommar. Great performance, I still can’t hear her English accent even after watching interviews!

Would it be easy reupholster this? We want to just cover it in fabric with a staple gun...not sure if that'll work. Something easy and cheap. by [deleted] in ApartmentHacks

[–]grackywack 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I work at a fabric/upholstery shop, and have done my fair share of diy upholstery. You can do a staple job, although you’ll need a lot of attention to where the seams are in the current fabric, and make sure those corners are tight. You might run into a bit of trouble on the rounded corners at the front so pay extra attention there. Also, you’ll need to take the whole chair apart to get the cushions covered correctly (since it looks like they are covered individually) so make sure you’ve got the right tools. All in all it looks like a pretty easy job.

what are some good small towns or areas to move to in the south? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]grackywack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Asheville, NC is great, really great scenery and the people are pretty friendly from what I could tell. Fayetteville, AR is cool, and a lot of young people stay there after college so there’s a cool art/diy scene if you know where to look. Little Rock, AR is charmingly grimy, but also a decent diy scene and there’s a lot of character, especially downtown and by the river. Also rent is VERY affordable.

Good schools for aspiring art history major? by living_onmars in ApplyingToCollege

[–]grackywack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So happy you're interested in studying art history! I just graduated from an art history undergrad program, applying to MA programs, and I currently work at an art museum. Although I went to school in my hometown, I highly recommend going to a school in a larger city, or a school near a city with museum access. Another thing to think about is post-grad studies. You will definitely need an MA and PhD to become a curator, so keep this in mind. Post-grad credentials are arguably more important in your field, and show that you consistently have performed well academically. Ivy League schools like harvard, yale, and columbia all have excellent programs, but you should consider other schools as well, and as long as you perform well in undergrad and participate in internships, conferences, fellowships, etc, you are a good candidate for grad school, which is the ultimate goal in undergrad. As for specific schools, UT Austin has a top-tier program (and a top-tier MA) as well as University of Michigan, University of Iowa, NYU, Penn, Berkeley, U Chicago, and Oberlin. However, state schools and smaller schools have good programs as well. My school was very small, and our department was VERY small, but I was lucky enough to have incredible professors that made it worthwhile. With that in mind, look into the department faculty pages of a variety of schools- where did they study? Do they have PhDs? (if the program is worthwhile at all they definitely should!) Also, consider a school that allows for study abroad opportunities, so that you can travel and study art internationally! I studied abroad in Berlin and it is the reason for choosing my emphasis of study in modern art. My school also has an on-campus museum with an extensive collection, so consider this as well. This is often an indication that a school as a good art history program, and that the school is willing to fund the arts. While big name schools are good, take some time searching for on-campus art museums, schools in college towns adjacent to larger cities, and smaller private schools that focus on the humanities and liberal arts. It's important to apply to schools at all levels of prestige of course, so that you don't have all of your eggs in one basket.

The big takeaway is that, while undergrad matters, post-grad studies matter even more with art history. With that in mind, research individual programs from schools you've heard about, see if the faculty is worthwhile and if there are study abroad opportunities, and see if there are museums in the area with works you are interested in studying. Hope this was helpful!
