On Blogging

I live in New York now, it's very exciting! One day, Hannah and I saw someone on my street (in Brooklynnn) eating china spaghetti out of a box (that once upon a time, I remembered, jr.high maybe? could pass as a purse if you were in like, art club?) Something about the way the noodles slapped against his chest hit us both at once with an unconquerable craving for a noodle lunch to call our own, so we JMZ'd straight in to the heart of China and sat ourselves at the restaurant pictured above (it was February). They gave us a very, very strange tea. It made us very quiet, and confused. They were watching a game show with a very, very round woman in a unitard and tutu who was contorting her body to fit through a hoop that of course appeared too small for her very round body. She was so taut in that unitard, it was remarkable.

One thing I love to do here is eat really incredible food all the time. It's everywhere! It's the best! Another thing I like to do here is shop too much. I have so many matching tropical plants on my windowsills, they look so full of something when everything behind them is covered in snow, winter is a marshmallow world, you know! In addition to these plants, I have a small collection of rocks, shells, and sticks which I started bringing home from East Hampton when I knew I was soon leaving it for good!

And what good it was when I left! What an experience THAT was! Ask me about it personally, privately, for I disclaimed my right to comment negatively about the foundation. Regardless of the insanity, the whole thing looks amazing on my resume - produced limited edition hand gilded art publication, contributed to works exhibited in major NYC galleries, developed and applied non-profit fundraising and event planning strategies, participated in board meetings and led event planning meetings- by the way if you need help updating your resume, I think I have truly mastered that particular language art.

Finally, I would like to formally announce that I was accepted in to one of the two grad schools I decided to apply to just weeks before the deadlines approached, and that I will in fact be living in New York for a bit longer in order to attend NYU for my masters in Art Education. This news probably includes some kind of enviable summer studio art program in Italy, and the guarantee of eating pizza for dinner for the next few nights to celebrate! YES IT DOES! I EARNED THAT PIZZA!!

UPDATE: Just had pizza for breakfast!

Hello friends!
This blog does not seem to really exist,

Here are some updates!:;,

I am in New York! I am in East Hampton, actually, with the beaches and bunnies, and deer! I am an intern/apprentice here.
I paint a lot and it is very satisfying.
I just lived in LA for two months, didn't I tell you?? Jeez sorry, this blog maybe doesn't exist.

Most importantly, I got glasses!!

Right!

Man, I just have no fucking clue !!

oh hai !

SO
I'm at a cafe! This is the first time I've ever gone public with my internet addiction (which has been really hard on my shoulders since I've been unemployed) because the air conditioning here is so much better than it is in the house, and it's nearing 100 degrees outside. The average temperature for the month of May is 85, but it was near 100 every day! The average temperature for the month of June is 92, so that means it'll be near 107 every day? Hard boiled, man.

So I just heard that Bo Diddley died a couple hours ago , which is sad but okay 'cause he was pretty old anyway and I bet it's really boring to just be old after having been Bo Diddley for so long, BUT it's weird too, because a couple hours ago I was getting out of the shower and thought that I heard a ghost humming to me, but really I'd just forgotten that I'd left my Pod on shuffle and it was just Bo Diddleying to me softly from the other room. SO NOW I know it WAS a ghost!!!

I know it

I know there are better songs from the 90s to be looking up on youtube, but there aren't better songs from the 90s to look up on youtube that I used to sing any time I was lucky enough to be alone in a public bathroom in Jr.high.
Well, there aren't many, anyway.

Today is my last day of work, instead of classes today we're having a sort of field day for the little peeps, which means I'm going to get paid for sack racing, face painting, and spin arting !! YEAAAH!

I liked my job, I could do it again, even. MAYBE I WILL! I'm going to miss my 80 urban babes, they taught me so much. Like what it means to "make a grizzly bear."

Aiiiie am I terrible at keeping this blog!! Today is 4/20, happy holidaze to all! Sit down to be small, stand up to be tall!!!

I am keeping myself indoors today with hopes that I will get so bored I will clean the house, but so far all I've done is make fried rice, and chow it down in front of other peoples blogs.

Austin has been a holiday, constantly, except for the rare hours that I'm actually working.
I've been spending a good deal of time on my front porch with my best man, drinking & smoking and watching thunder storms and the weeds in our yard spring up. Spring!! Spring looks great on this city. Yesterday we went for a dip in one of the rivers, sun bathed in the shallows on top of a baby waterfall, hot top, cold bottomzzz, what holiday!! The skyline from my porch has turned a fantastic neonish green, the birds are singing like troplicalia, and on friday I saw my very first fire fly. What a south we've got, here!

Last night was slow so after some porch waiting, we got up and wandered towards some noises we heard. We ended up getting pulled into a neighbors house to witness in a good ol' country jam. Ha! So surreal! So funny!!
