here’s how it goes.

there is much work to be done! there are plans, deadlines! time runs short! this is right about the time that you have ideas for all sorts of other projects; art projects, meandering things which will likely take ages to finish. never do those million other ideas arrive when you are deadline-free, or have an… Continue reading here’s how it goes.

04 November

Well I added a few more shots to the photos, as I realised a few didn't make it in the first go. Like the ALI G. school. And the Tattie Creel! So now there's 105 or nearly. Also: I have removed the 'comments' option from this blog, as 90% were from annoying mf spam-bots. I… Continue reading 04 November

31 October

Happy Hallo'ween kids. I have at long last completed the rather enjoyable job (ha! job, indeed) of transcribing days of the trip. Long, yes. But I was having too much fun reliving it all to make short of it! So there. The tale of our encounters with "Fatty" were, in particular, sending me into hilarious… Continue reading 31 October

otherwise…

Okay, two rants in two days and I've written absolutely nothing else in a couple of weeks. Getting geared up for the trip abroad, but several worrisome things: a mild ear infection (which could become quite painful in the compression of an aeroplane cabin), and today- a pain in a tooth- maybe a cavity making… Continue reading otherwise…

Firstly, the whole random search maneuver in the subways is idiotic. Anyone who… Continue reading terror

signs of the times

advert : funny attention : unconstituional Well, I have been remiss at this blogging nonsense of late. In lieu- working on many projects, watching and reading much news (and despairing), planning trip to the UK. I have begun work on a new 30' x 40" canvas, and so far it looks great, so that's intimidating.… Continue reading signs of the times

ugh.

well, things are getting worse. broken levees, and the city fills. it will never be the same as it was. devastation. crime. further evacuation. (still, some perspective can be gained by looking back at the tsunami in indnesia- that was on a much larger scale) president bush is such a #%$*... well, that's nothing new.… Continue reading ugh.

the big NO

So, from what I have managed to gather thus far today, the wrath incurred by Katrina upon New Orleans has been less than maximum warnings estimated, and that's good. Very early this morning I recall a clip during which a meteorologist said that were the eye to pass east of New Orleans, it would be… Continue reading the big NO
