Whooosh! men at work

There's nothing like having half your space discombobulated by carpenters to get you to clean some shit up! Following the heavy rains a couple of months ago, several of the windows in our apartment got waterlogged and leaky, one so bad the drywall disintegrated at the top, leaking chunks of gypsum and attendant insulation onto… Continue reading Whooosh! men at work

I should have gone for a bike ride, or walked to the park– something outside, as it’s another beautiful day.

But I've been sitting here in front of the computer all day, getting very little done; seemingly no great ideas to add to my current projects, and utterly uninspired. Stuck. Stalled. Frustrating to attempt to be productive and fail.

“Lend Me a Tenor”

Directed by Stanley Tucci, starring Anthony LaPaglia, Tony Shaloub, and Justin Bartha– saw it at the matinee today- very funny. Shaloub is hilarious ("God Damnit!!"). More later, just jotting it down... Also– see Thursday's *new* drawing, as well as the rest of the cabinet card portraits I've been working on, at my folio grouping on… Continue reading “Lend Me a Tenor”

One… Continue reading Twas last year at around this time

dream of the boat-dwellers

There were four of us in a pickup truck; two were visitors. We were across a gulf of water from where we needed to be, but were heading back to the other side soon. We decided to stop along the water’s edge to see the view before crossing– the sun was hitting the mountains and… Continue reading dream of the boat-dwellers

Studies show dream recall at all-time high

Just a quick thing. I know I mentioned last month that I was at around 50% recall rate in terms of how many days I woke with memories intact enough to write them down. Well, it's gone even more mental this month. Every day of November I've written down at least one dream upon waking… Continue reading Studies show dream recall at all-time high
