Been working at reordering the site, and tidying the house. Regrettably my desktop computer is hiccuping like a vaudeville comedian, and I can’t quite diagnose the problem. It’s about five years old, which I know is ancient computer-wise, but I wasn’t really looking to replace it this year. Now, however, I start to think about… Continue Reading

I’m in the office doin that thing
The school year winds down – the complications continue. I keep drinking the coffee, listening to the podcasts, reading and barely writing. The shape of my body has been changing, and it has meant needing some new clothes. So clothes shopping, which can easily slip into the compulsive place. I’m trying to keep it together… Continue Reading
Another opening, another show…
I had a lovely time last night. And of course I’m filled with regret for all the people that I saw for mere seconds and couldn’t have a real conversation with. It’s always the case. So many wonderful people came! Paule and Ed and everyone at the gallery were accommodating and thoughtful. I showed up… Continue Reading
We are embarrassed again…
Big drawing day yesterday, most of it accomplished while R, the savvy intern, was sitting at the computer scanning slides from decades ago. While I usually like solitude for working, I was surprised to see how much I was able to focus with the right person there. There was something comforting in knowing that a… Continue Reading

I got some help on Friday, and that kicked my butt into action. The weather was bliss, such a shift from all cataclysmic… Continue Reading
Monay’s Hero: TJ Toter…
Monday’s hero, in which we celebrate the inanimate.It’s weird how one can develop an affection for things simply by using them, but when an item proves itself through repeated use I can begin to feel something that can even edge into respect. Todays hero is the Trader Joe’s Bucket reusable shopping bag. During the trip… Continue Reading
Powerpuff…
In anticipation of poker this weekend, I went out and picked up some cigars. I have to say that I haven’t been smoking as much lately. It’s just something that I’ve been forgetting to do. The fact that I can type that sentence probably means I’m not an addict. Last night I got some stellar… Continue Reading
Keepin it mellow…
Took lolitasir for a jaunt to some favorite SF spots: The Magazine, where I picked up Italian and Japanese dirty comics, the main branch of the Library to see my piece there, and then off to the Mission where I got two incredible luchador masks thanks to J. Finally we went to Mr S for… Continue Reading
