changes.

i'm looking for a new place to live. i have to leave this house by the first of january.
stresssss. before then, i have to work a week straight, entertain my cousin, host a holiday
party, help my mommy cook dinner for christmas, go to bisbee, & finish two pieces for a show
that i will be in in february. i have to find a new place too. i've been looking so much the
last two weeks unsuccessfully. the word "dive-y" has become a staple in my vocabulary.

i continually plan to get a head-start on this packing & purging process, but my house has
finally become freezing & i feel immobile. we're too poor & also environmentally opposed to
using our central heat, so we've been making fires every couple of nights (john gave us at
least a quarter of the cord of wood he bought!) & isolating ourselves in small rooms with
space heaters. one of the reasons i have to get out of here is because the house is just so
large. i cannot deal with its expanse. it's a perfect house if i were an adult & owned it &
could make it more efficient, organized & home-y-- but not so right now.

gathering songs for a winter compilation, which will be everyone's christmas gift. i am going
to do a lino-print of a cute girl in the snow with fir trees for the cd-envelopes. i want to
make them out of paper grocery bags. hopefully i'll find the time for all of this.

do you have a favorite winter song?

i'm trying to create the feeling of nostalgia that comes with snowfall, hushed pine forests,
smoke burning, grey skies-- all of the things that we never experience living in arizona in
the wintertime. so far, it's mostly folk, piano jazz, & some ambient instrumentals. i need
to create a more diverse selection. the opening track i think is really perfect: a track from
the rachel's album music for egon schiele.

someone gave me squash from dumpster diving, & i prepared it for dinner tonight, not knowing
it was spaghetti squash. i made a sauce for it (thinking it was some other sort of squash)
with butter, orange zest, molasses, cayenne pepper, salt & pepper. it was tasty, despite my
surprise at the contents when i cut it open after baking it. i've only ever treated
spaghetti squash like pasta.

sorry, i dont have any pictures. i never use my camera anymore. i guess that's what happens
when you get a degree in something like photography.
