Singular and the same

I'm trying to write here at least once a week. I think that's good if I can keep going with it.
So Jon is away to a convention in Denver till Sunday. I'm having supper with Ben tomorrow night. Otherwise I'm just here by my lonesome self. :-(

I sent out a couple mail art things yesterday but otherwise there's been no progress in the studio. I have to remember to go in there to keep the plants watered. A gallery in Bethesda is interested in showing my coastlines but has been delayed in getting up to Baltimore to look at them so that's on hold for now. I've been passing the time doing jigsaw puzzles on the iPads. Read "Twelve Years a Slave" in two days despite it being a rather long book. It was so engrossing I couldn't put it down. I'd seen the movie and it was pretty faithful to the book. God what a long ordeal. I can really see the case for some kind of reparations being made for slavery but I guess it would be impossible logistically.

Also read "The Great Gatsby" and was impressed by how faithful the new movie was to the book. Word for word even. Still not crazy about the Baz Lurhman excesses in the movie but it's starting to grow on me the more I watch it on HBO.
