I Found A Tiny House, And I Can't Help The Way I Feel
I can't wait until I can have a whole house. It would be an older house, like the ones along Eastern St. in Louisville (by the Dennys, if you need an easy point of reference, as we did), or like the ones in Cooper Young in Memphis. I want to be able to paint, and to decorate, and to leave my shoes in the living room. I want book shelves (the floor to celing kind, preferably built-in) and framed posters and big paper lanterns with birds on them. I want a screen print studio that doesn't have a sink, shower and toilet in it. I want to walk around in my underwear.
I'm not sure why I'm so stuck on this tonight. I've been thinking too hard lately, I guess. But it's not been all bad - I've gotten the urge to make stuff again. I'm trying to finish the sweater from the SNB Nation book that I started a year ago, and once I get done with that, I'll move on to another, smaller scarf, and a re-do of the short sleeved sweater that I tried to make over the summer. I drew a screen print design in InDesign this afternoon, and when I finish up here, I'm going to stretch a screen for it.
I think I'm trying to make the next few weeks go faster.
I'm also trying to get back into the habit of writing every day. I feel like I'm slipping, and with my newspaper column, I don't want that to happen.
Tonight, for some reason, I'm all stream of conciousness. I think reading all of that Virginia Woolf for class is finally catching up with me. I'm enjoying it, for the most part.
Classes are getting busier, midterms are getting closer, and all I want to do is just make stuff and read books and listen to my records until it's time to go back to Memphis.
It's started to get colder outside, and I want some apple cider.
(Wow - I'm scattered today. Maybe, if I'm going to try this writing daily thing again, I should try to provide some sort of real account of events and thoughts and all of that. I'll get to it tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a quick re-cap:
- I have a show at the Blue Bottle on the 21st
- Lebowski Fest was amazing, seeing The Colin was wonderful, and I had a great time.
- my Photos of the Week push totally worked!
- I haven't been feeling to good about me lately - I've been entirely too introspective and defensive, if not outwardly so, than only when no one is looking.
- I finished the Colin's scarf, and he loved it)
Seven months to go!,
