I went to see the history of jewelry exhibit at the Frist yesterday. It was an overload to the senses, and hard to see past all the gawking, expensive looking middle-aged-or-older women who would wait, cat-like, to squeeze between the case and me. I found all their jewelry amusing. Most of it was huge, gaudy, showy stuff that might actually have ( Read more... )

I think sometimes I realize, for whatever reason, that as long as I can make art, screw around with silver and fire, and do something like this that seems inexpressably special, I'll have something to feel happy about. It kind of makes the rest of the things that happen in my life seem bearable or even unimportant. Ultimately, I need art and ( Read more... )

AWA is nibbling on my toes. I feel the need to finish that costume. Please, self, do that. I am running out of time. If only I had felt inspired and happy enough to think of it earlier in the summer.

I woke up as the man was pursuing me through the yard and then fell asleep ( Read more... )

As I was leaving the student lounge, I noticed directly up against the seal of the doorway, there was a tiny, fat snake. It was only about as long as my hand, but it was so big around that I knew it wasn't an adult, and when I looked closer, I saw that it had been stepped on or squashed at the head and neck. I also immediately noticed that it ( Read more... )

I had the strangest dream last night that I was moving from one house to another, and that I was part of some family that doesn't really exist. I don't remember much but moving things, and this weird magical feeling that seemed to pervade the air that had something to do with the house and high, three-story rooms with belongings left behind by ( Read more... )

I wish I could figure out what all of these were derived from.
