happy sunday

hey kids
guess what!
my weekend got infinitely better. well...ish, anyway.... ok yeah it was good.
yes the shopping was therapeutic (didn't buy anything...buying stuff won't make me happy--but it was good to figure that out. actually i did get something---another brian jacques redwall book---i still love that series! definitely enjoy buying books from the 'ages 9-12' section at chapters--nice break from strange concepts like realism in 19th century art history)
washing dishes last night was great (i got a phone call! at work! no one calls me at work. you call me while i'm at work, you'll make my day) the movie afterwards was perfect---i love those surprise nights out when you find out someone cares enough to sit around waiting for you to finish your shift so you can hang out with them, even though you smell like dishpit and you really worked late---THANKS CANDICE AND LAURA i really appreciate it. :)

meanwhile, i hit inspiration!!! hallelujah!
not just for photo, but also for painting: last week i did a lot of reading of textbooks for my Mississauga classes...(i actually caught up in all my readings!! never before! never again!) ...not because i wanted to read, but because i was avoiding my stupid studio stuff which was not being nice to me...(studying art and art history at U of Toronto, joint program with sheridan...second year and *sometimes* lovin it)

anyways i already mentioned i have a problem with concept and content in my photo projects...once again it's the lack of brainpower factoring in there. i think i mentioned taking pictures of my fish? yes i did. ok so i moved on from that...my fish (hairy conniption is his name) didn't really appreciate the spotlight.
my photo idea...is something about art history shaping the way i create my own art and my ideas and eventually myself... 20 slides... also sort of a sculptural piece as i'll project images from AH onto myself. weird? no, don't worry, it's just sheridan.
yep so getting the pictures taken and the slides processed sometime between now and tuesday at 6 still feels like a monumental task but at least i have an idea to work from. (i wish that idea would come sooner!!) same with painting... maybe i'll stick a picture on here eventually...or not. only if you're planning to buy it.

it feels weird to tell everyone my studio projects like this...
but i'm really excited to be excited about something. it's been a long while...feels good. feels alive.

so i think that's about all i can think of to write about at this quiet moment in my hugely busy life...
oh i think i'll just get back to my relaxing sunday evening reading my book. :)
