I’m sort of back! I have time to write, finally… but I’m very sick. Usually when I’m sick it’s just about 2 days of misery and then just mild symptoms to get over. This has been a 4 day mess of crap! Now, I can’t really hear, and I think it’s because I may have two ear infections that migrated from my sinus infection or whatever. Heeeeh? Oh well, at least the fever fest is over.
I live here! I saw this photo the day after the launch- it has made its rounds I see:) Spectacular.
Why? … why not?
pen and paper, and photoshop for a little bit of shading - Feb.2010
—I’m thinking of printing and framing this— :)
I’ve had beer, then coffee, then nyquil. Interesting.
roll the dice…
-I think to myself and I fold the thought into an origami paper heart, and set it afloat on the flat glassy water’s surface. The water reflects the stars and the last fringe of pale purple on the torn edge of the horizon; gently carrying the vast velvet black behemoth sky on its shoulders. I am folded down to knees and elbows in dark silver sand. On the edge of the water, my hands are wet. I exhale and the air leaves my lungs, propelling my folded secret hope into a delicate drift; a path that I no longer have any control over. Somehow, it feels right to give up control.
As a result of spending 8 hours a day indoors, without windows, and in front of a computer for 5 days a week, I find myself craving some exploration into the wild. More and more every day. On weekdays I see probably 2 hours of daylight between when the sun comes up and I get into work, then when I venture outside to pick up lunch, then a brief beautiful glimpse of it going down as I drive home.
It’s dark when I get home.
I was excited that I would be getting out and enjoying the outdoors today, but the weather has decided to be rainy all day today. Screw it, I think it’s raincoat time.
Also, I have some kind of grand idea that I might start planning little camping trips for the weekends. Probably just day trips; I don’t know if I could sleep alone out there yet.
