too spaced out right now to write anything decent, but let's see how i can do under this condition!

i was working on an exaggerated landscape today with watercolor and ink, and i haven't been so meditative with my work for such a long time. i imagine its also the combination of excellent weather, my awesome windsor & newtons, and my new brasilian jazz (ryuichi sakamoto and morelenbaum). also i must have slept for ten or eleven hours last night! crazy! so, the spaced out-ness is probably residual grogginess from a slow brain. (and yet it seems so fast!) still, its wonderful how these things can work to make you happy and at the same time, other people happy (or at least incite some thought). the nice thing is, as long as it's around and accessible, you're still making people think and/or making people happy long after it's been made! just like the written word. no ego-trips! (and as i've been reading, the whole self-absorbed context-regardless artistic idiom has long been passe).

i had some comments to make on moral soundness, but i will save that for another day when my thoughts are more cohesive!

note to self:
*edit K's personal statement
*work on presentation, presentation, presentation (bullshitting)
*go to England
*make a left and go to art store in London
*brew mead: honey, yeast, water
*work on de-cal syllabus and class material
*send fun stuff to renee!!!!! <3

until next time -- SIT UP STRAIGHT!
