This is a Facebook bit of nonsense. "Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you..." Etc. May as well put it here, too, now I've spent the time. 1. I've been wrestling with a cowlick above my right temple since I… Continue reading tagged: 25 things

dreamfish & timetravel
I've been reading "Winter's Tale" by Mark Helprin. Escaping into a magic, mythic New York covering the turns of two centuries has been a delight. The Lake of the Coheeries is across the river– New Amsterdam frozen in time. It imparts a fierce glitter to all things winter and icy (and allowed me to have… Continue reading dreamfish & timetravel
images from the past
Some friends, also hailing from Rochester, have been scanning old photos and uploading them to Facebook. These are a few of my younger self. The first on was taken at the Clinton-Washington G station, probably in '89? The other two were taken at Mt Hope Cemetery in Rochester during a summer between years at Pratt,… Continue reading images from the past
deletions p.2
Wow. Having spent the past hour and a half at this, it becomes apparent that many sites make it difficult to close one's account– or even to find out how to do so! There were at least five to whom I've had to send a request via email (replies pending), and one whose structure did… Continue reading deletions p.2
deletions.
I've been thinking about deleting things. Despite having undergone a great purge of belongings before moving into this apartment with Ben, I find I still have too many things. Every surface in my office has gown increasingly cluttered, and it makes it difficult to be serenely productive (perhaps that's an oxymoron in some ways, but… Continue reading deletions.
A film for three walls
Here are some images from the Pipilotti Rist "Get Your Body Out" installation at the MoMA. Kim and I wen yesterday, and when you enter this huge room, it's an immediate sonorous, soothing embrace of color, sound and light. The whole room had been carpeted and invited lounging– complete with a massive, blue, iris-shaped banquette… Continue reading A film for three walls
migration
This morning I migrated my whole "Untidy Revelations" archive from Blogger. Have intentions of doing this CSS thing, but the week runs short so it will have to wait. I'm interested in learning more about it, and have been learning a bit about tags v. categories. Still more refining to do in that category, but… Continue reading migration
Hmmm
I'm contemplating whether or not to upgrade to Custom CSS in this realm. Honestly, I'm perfectly happy with my blogger blog, but getting my head around setting up a fully-functional site on WordPress is on my list of things to do in 2009. Hell, it's only 15 bucks, I may as well do it. For… Continue reading Hmmm
relearning drawing
Here is my big secret: I haven't done drawings on a regular basis for many years, aside from fits and starts. False starts-- or re-visitations. As a result, I can no longer draw anything unless I've seen it, or worse: unless I can see it-- in reality, or in a photograph. I've lost my ability… Continue reading relearning drawing
Overheard in the ether
Two things in rapid succession that meshed nicely (and made me smile): An excerpt from an online column: "Well, that whole faux-happy moment [in our culture] appears to have expired. So you are right where you should be: full of trembling and dread, eyes wide open, unable to filter out the chaos of reality." Followed… Continue reading Overheard in the ether
