My new deardiary twinkle stage fright, and I can't really decide upon a way to begin giving birth to this thing. I suppose I will just open up and push with the contractions and call up a friend to come by and visit everyonce in a while. Sometimes it will smell like talcum, sometimes it will not stop crying, and sometimes I will beam with pride over it's sentiments. I think I'll name it Calluna after myself. It will flush out the lessons of the maya.

Currently at work on an art program with a friend. We decided over breakfast that we would begin right away to put together a show. An opening. Invite friends over to talk and drink over it. Maybe try to put some dollar value to it for laughs sake, and talk about it like it ment something. We'd construct it out of found objects since we have no funding and Kirk has a knack for finding cool stuff in trash piles and junk houses.
Lessons learned:
-designate a day or two to work on your art otherwise it will end up in your closet with all the other crap you've given up on
-don't drink a lot of wine before you start your art or else you might forget to do your art and start playing video games, destroy your art, make something that get's you committed to the hospital where other sick artist types end up, or start making out with your art friend
-pay your electricity bill. It's really hard to work on art in the dark.
-just keep working and don't think too hard about whether so good or no good. you've got a party to throw, a deadline to meet, and you've got to crank out that art.
-when working with a friend, only one person in a single given day is going to have the mojo.
-meds help that mojo happen.
