It's a grey morning, supposed to rain.
There are construction workers on the roof next door.
Will I end up doing laundry today?

9:11 AM
Aahhh, I just love that first shot of morning caffeine! I'm feeling so much better.
So, here I am, a 32 year old man, and I'm getting another huge zit, on the side of my nose, by my eye. It gets very annoying to get such large ones everytime I get a bit of stress.

So where in the hell are the left over RML sampler cd's? I'm supposed to send some off. Digging through my closet is going to be a joke. Oh the humanity!

Started, very unexpectedly, a new painting that is demanding to be called "An Emotional Fossil". I suspect that it's about my recent return to optimism, feeling in control, etc. A lot of my negativity seems to be dead and buried, but it is a reminder that it is always there, even if in fossil form. I don't want to be so naive and think that I'll never go through a depression again, because I know I will. But I have been feeling very good lately. Besides, I believe that negativity and depression are necessary transitional periods. It's a shallow belief to think that we should always be happy. But wallowing in misery isn't good either...it's just a change.

And just like that, "An Emotional Fossil" has gone in a different direction, one completely unexpected or hinted at in the beginning. It always amazes me how my paintings have a life all of their own, but I do encourage that. Much like someone like Rauschenberg I prefer to be a medium instead of some super-genius, controlling artist. Not that all artists who prefer control are jerks, or even geniuses, whatever a genius is. I don't think that I really believe in the genius cult.
On a lighter note, I can't stop listening to "Our Lips are Sealed" by The Go-Go's! Ahem.....My hardcore, avant-garde buddies would be so ashamed of me!

3:16 PM
Working on "The Magician", the second of the "Major Arcana" series.
Writing e-mails.....

DA is not letting me upload any art. I have no idea why. I don't think it's being done on purpose, something just isn't functioning. So I can't put the cover of "My Brain" on-line. Blah.
I am having a very good day. I'm anticipating a unique week.

6:19 PM
All this week will be "The Simpsons- Treehouse of Horror"! Yay for Halloween shows. Those are always the best.

10:58 PM
Made a pasta dinner, with vodka sauce. Unfortunately I wasn't too crazy about it...the sauce was too runny, at least to me.
Went and, finally, did some laundry, but I got all embarassed while I was in there; the moment I step in the door there are two cute college girls, and one is painting her toenails. That does it for me, I think watching that is completely sexy. But I really was embarassed, so much so that I didn't want to walk by them for fear of getting caught staring at her feet.Oh, the drama of an unrepentant foot-fetishist!!!!
