as the world turns
i woke up at 8:30 this morning feeling so urgently like I needed to submit my chapbook to Sundress Publications. So i did, and now I wonder what’s going to happen– They’ll get back to me by spring about if it’ll be published or not, but that’s a long time. I’m definitely interested in this web-based publishing thing that they’re doing.
What else? Daniel from Nashville is visiting for the weekend and i’m VERY excited to see him. It’s been a long time since we’ve hung out & a lot has changed, in both of our lives. Probably more in his, since he’s come out of the closet and i’ve just basically made a lot more paintings and gotten a different haircut.
today, must focus:
-christmas present-making.
-drawing.
-making money & fixing the car so we can drive to KY next week. (how do i do this?)
-reading art books.
-crafting with printmaking friends.
-cleaning apartment
other things:
-tonight i’m going to a bonfire, and it’ll be great fun.
-i gave knoxy an adorable haircut. i want to kiss him all the time.
-i really want to go on a trip. to new york, specifically. reading over all those poems i wrote about NY this morning have made me a bit nostalgic. and then i read this article on Brooklyn Rail about the de Kooning show, and it made me want to go one more time and see it before it comes down.
-we watched the newest Harry Potter last night, and the best part was yelling things about “Love, Actually” every time there was a close-up of Snape (examples: “Mr. Bean wrapped my christmas present!” ”I gave my wife a Joni Mitchell CD for Christmas!”)
-started running again. I’m pretty pleased that i didn’t lose much ground during the broken toe fiasco.
-i love breaks from school, and i love christmas.
