ZZZ

When Laura Holder talks about her dreams they are very funny. Me, I'm not a dreamer as much as a talker. I'll sit up in bed in the dark or anwser the phone all the while sounding very, very alert when really not. Something always gives it away though. I'll be going on in the conversation and then say something very odd. My roommate once called from a bar asking if I wanted to join her and dead asleep I said, 'When you get home...you need to push play on the anwsering machine.'

Most recently, E sat at the edge of the bed when he came home and said, 'How are you?' thinking I was wide awake. I said, 'I'm good but I missed you this week. I had a lot of cute outfits.'

YOU'RE More Than Donuts?????

I've been attending a lot of parties these days with blog and
fotolog type people. I have to say it's been a lot of fun despite
the dork fest that it is (this dork included). People introduce
themselves as their blog or fotolog name which is quite funny.
Last night I had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of great people
who I'd link to now if I wasn't so damn lazy. Did you know that
many people thought this here KDunk was a guy?

It’s Raining (Again)

On rainy days I think about art. Today I am dreaming of sunny
San Diego and am thinking about how I’ve never been there. If
I had a million bucks I would go for the weekend and check out
one of my favorite artists Andy Goldsworthy currently showing at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Also on the brain is the work of Andrea Zittel I recently caught a PBS biography on Andrea that was very good. Part of the biography featured Andrea in her studio home in Brooklyn which I’ve had the pleasure of visiting a few times. Andrea works in themes. One summer she raised chickens. Another time she wore only smocks. For one month she drank out of glass bowls.
Strange-yes but I am inspired by Andrea’s confidence to jump from interest to interest with no regrets. She seems only able to do this because she produces something of substance before moving to the next.

Ok. Now back to replacing the toner in the office fax machine.

(sniff sniff-one of my first photos taken w/the camera)

Camera Gone

Yup. Left my camera somewhere-in a cab, on a garbage can-I
can't remember where or when. All I know is that I was in such
a rush yesterday and my sweet little baby Canon Powershot
S330 Digital Elph is gone. This really sucks. Not only was it a
thoughtful and expensive gift from someone but I am just a
few weeks from going to Spain where I planned to go to town
on taking photos. It sounds dumb but I've really had such a
growth in confidence as result of this camera. I am even going
to be featured in a small article next month in a German photo
magazine talking about the camera and linking it to my site.
Oh well. As a wise woman once said, 'On To The Next'.

Dear Cat Advice Person-

Each morning, noon and night 'my' cat Jane feels the need to
stand by the basement door and meow and meow and meow
and meow and meow and meow as if her life will end should I
not open the door to the basement to let her down. There is
an open window down there so this is why I do not open the
door. But why is this happening? What is down there that a
cat could possibly want? Some old college yearbooks? Financial
papers to be gone through? Lumber? I am pretty sure there
are no mice so then what? Any advice you could offer would
be greatly appreciated.

My Opinion Is...

I don't share my opinion enough on things. I never
generate a conversation based on some interesting
thing I've just read or heard about and I read and
hear about plenty of interesting things...or do I? I
always wait for someone else to initiate the convo
and then I chime in with the occasional, 'Wow-that's
interesting.' Better yet, I throw questions back at
the person who is talking so I can stall while I think
of what I want to say. Sometimes I just stall so I
don't have to think. This strikes me as being very
writer like-observe first communicate later. I'd like
to practice being more in the moment-less cautious.

Feel free to leave me comments on general topics or
specific things you want my opinion on. I need the
practice.
