all of interest i can think of to say

1. drawing took a long time. i like them, but it was one of those days where one day just felt like one verrrry long day (not like seven days in one like sometimes happens in the studio when groundbreaking stuff is happening). i just drew these capguns again and again. it's fun to draw when the paper is small because if i mess up, i mess up and i didn't lose my whole drawing. but still mostly i was just so bored. thank goodness, thank goodness, for this american life. i choose not to put quotations around that title, or put it into italics or whatever a radio show would be.

2. s. and i had a typical but relatively rare bicker moment on the phone, and then he called me back nearly immediately to apologize and said that he was sorry he was cranky and i didn't deserve it. who on this wide green/brown/white earth is that kind and good? it wasn't like a big fight, just a little something i can't even remember. but still he called.

3. the waiter last night at the restaurant ended the evening by saying 'it has been a pleasure to serve you.' who says that? who has ever heard that said to them by a waiter? i got shy.

4. my new beautiful car tells me how many miles my gas tank has left until i run out of gas. this is the gift that makes me just that much more peaceful as i drive.

5. i can't wait until i graduate.

6. i read 'the disappearance' by genvieve jurgenson (sp? sp!) and her tone is so haunting, it makes me want to think in the rhythm that she thinks. god i can't wait to start seriously writing again once i graduate.

7. we got our spots in the museum where our gradshow work will go, and my spot is so huge, like 13 feet wide by 14 feet tall. a near perfect square of hugeness. what will i put in it? my little pins take so long to draw, i started to feel like it was useless to draw them all so carefully, but still i did. each. tiny. little. pin. and. its. shadow. and. its. other. multiple. shadows.
