TIME IS A LOAN SHARK™

Other than that: Working Not exercising enough, but some, and enjoyably, as it's no longer winter. New mobile-- Alias™ with QWERTY. (have to get used to typing straight keyboard with thumbs!) Jewelry sales have been great for wholesale market! (nil on Etsy, but I've been remiss...) Met the owner of Fuego 718 over the weekend… Continue reading TIME IS A LOAN SHARK™

RIP DST

Oh how I hate the end of Daylight Savings Time!Why must we switch back every autumn? Darkness at 5:30 has begun and I hate it!Rrrggghhhh!

change

Autumn can be a time of restlessness, too. Things change, transform. Some things die. The threat of dormancy looms. The urge for hibernation, for hiding, can come on strong and unexpected. It is a time for vigilance! One must be ready for anything-- strong and easy-breezy; carefree and confident. It is never a good time… Continue reading change

missing

Daydreams of the spires of Prague and other old world cities; Red rooftops; Street lamps with foreign shapes. Unfamiliar syllables and sinistra in the sottopassaggio! Winding streets that lead somewhere I've never been. I'm missing Europe, and autumn will not likely send a return ticket this year. - - - Everyone I know seems to… Continue reading missing

the arrival of heat

Just in time to coincide with August. Perhaps brought on by the two full moons of July. Electrofork is busy once again. Many design projects in progress and several about to begin. Also preparing for two group shows which will take place in September, but whose exact dates I have yet to learn. Thinking that… Continue reading the arrival of heat

Time.

It has been a swift spring, with tumultuous weather to match the tumults of Time; of Getting Older; of Uncertainty, Questions Needing Answers, and of Procrastination; of Plans waiting to become Plans of Action. Well, something like that, anyway. Yes, it's all true. Each passing year passes faster than the last. Time is patient and… Continue reading Time.

Cartography of Time.

time, quantified. This afternoon I have been largely absorbed in the interpretation of three weeks' worth of collected data into a visual key. It represents [my] time, (which can be a slippery thing when one works as a freelancer), and how it is spent. The goal of this exercise was to find where the largest… Continue reading Cartography of Time.

Ides and such

But more to the point, the calendar has already passed the first week mark in this the third month of 2006. Madness! Soon a whole quarter of the year will have gone the way of the snow from the blizzard. Time is relative, to be sure. As are most things. My recent start at keeping… Continue reading Ides and such

shiny streets under lamplight

Had a mind to take some long-exposure photographs of rain-glittering streets earlier this evening, but a recommendation to visit friendly faces at the wine bar distracted and stole time. Pleasantly. There is a Chinese proverb: "May you live in interesting times." A blessing and a curse, quite possibly perpetrated in some way upon every generation… Continue reading shiny streets under lamplight
