a fairly peaceful week here. moving along quickly. sometimes it seems as if the *day* in the office will never end, yet suddenly i realize it is already … thursday. and time is really moving terribly quickly. this week has been very autumnal and beautiful. mi poeta had a birthday this week. i am not big on traditional celebrations and he has no expectations that i *will* be, but we had a sweet evening. we had dinner downtown at Indo, which, no matter if it is the same or not, is *not* as tasty as Pochi. he had his first bubble tea! we came home and watched a slick made-for-BBC-tv video and ate chocolate brownies which i actually made. and he can now purchase a stack of poetry books at half-price books, come home and eat organic chocolate with rosehips while he reads in his kissmyface bubble bath.
otherwise, i am spending a good deal of energy resisting a bladder infection (yuk!) and pondering the fact that i have not shown any art in my journal or updated my site this entire year. yes i know … photos out the butt, and i love them, but somehow they are just not the same as *handwork*. i am taking mental stock of the work i have done this year and realize it is almost all book art. 3 books to completion, 2 which were gifts for the girls. the rest prepared books or some type of gluebook. i keep thinking i should scan them. why am i so lazy about that? (because scanning is tedious and it is more fun to glue and paint!). yes, i have done a bit of work on paper or canvas, but it is in the corner waiting to be worked over. worthless stuff. i have many projects and ideas in my head. i am always visualizing. but of course it is the same old story … by the time i get home yada yada doo … i have also been doing (too) much surfing and finding much inspiring stuff. in fact, i am often amazed. i need to update tesoros badly. but i think i want to change the system. i love this little journal, it is simple and clean and easy to work with. i am also thinking of updating my whole art site. it is a million years outdated.
