As the slide into full-blown winter solidifies, the concepts of failure and reduction have taken over my thoughts. When one thinks of improvement, of being a “better person”, the tendency is to look at what we lack and emphasize what we can acquire. I feel like I have been caught in this quagmire of acquisition [...]
I’ve been a busy beaver the last few days… preparing my CV and resume for the rigorous path of applying for grants, residencies, and additional opportunities. I’ve made it this far and could definitely use some feedback…
It has been a tremendously good week for me. I’ve recharged my batteries so to speak by surrounding myself with artists and other creative creatures.

This is going to seem like a ramble… but… I’m idle at the moment and idle fingers must tap keys in order for me to stay awake at my desk. I might as well think through some one of the things that is running through my weasel-brain today.
My neighbors probably hate me right now.
