can’t sleep in: my brain is buzzing
An Wei Wei's Zodiac Animals at LACMA
Even though it’s a rare rainy Saturday, I can’t seem to stay asleep in the cozy flannel sheets. Too many thoughts roiling my brain. My to-do lists are constantly growing instead of decreasing, and I never seem to get everything noted on the desktop “stickies” which help me keep track. So up and at’em, and I’ve already had breakfast and designed a new blog header before 8 am! What do you think? This iteration has only artworks from the past year – not as a boast but to keep me picking up my sketchbook or fabric and making something. That’s what keeps me happy.
I realized after the first 2012 entry that my goals for the year didn’t mention Travel! That is also high on the list for this year, but as always there are challenges. Mercer won’t leave Yoko in a kennel, so we rarely go anywhere together that Dog isn’t welcome. Also I need to get to Virginia to see the family, and I try for two visits a year. That means our parameters are usually circumscribed to car trips that take place during my teaching breaks. We both really want to go to Europe again, but until Miss Yoko checks out, I’m afraid that’s pretty unlikely. Maybe we can rent a camper and do an American wander this summer…time to do some research!
Devon comes home this week so can’t wait to see her – we’re planning to go to the new exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography next Saturday to see “Digital Darkroom”. I’m sure it will be fun as we’re all fascinated by the possibilities of image manipulation to make visible the imagination.
