Mistakes that locals don't make
I was foolish about how much fuel my body actually had, and overshot physically: a long walk to the BART, another walk, and I was very very faint in the galleries. I was disappointed. It wasn't a lot of work, and it was displayed in ways that made no sense to me. The intimacy of work made in the studio and left there after premature death was lost. But at least it's done. I was also foolish about the sun and all the sweating I expected to do with all the walking, and ran out without a jacket. I remember about 12 years ago, I had an informational interview with a guy who ran an arts non-profit in the Bay and he talked about the weather and how it pretty much hovered around 60 degrees and you always had to wear a light jacket. I had listened so well until today! But I take it to heart now and am trying to warm up with tea, in my puffy coat.
Total satisfaction

Surfacing again




I just saw a proof of an article I wrote for the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild and it looks great. I'm also getting more organized around my hanji book, so I'm hoping to push that along during spring break. Tonight I get to see Shara, which will be great, since she's so loving and positive. That's exactly what I need for tomorrow's critique and Thursday's midterm evaluations. For now, a nap is in order.

Hazy days in a hazy mind

After a tiny nap, I rushed down to get overpriced groceries so to avoid the rain and sunset. I treated myself to cheesecake in an effort to motivate myself to WORK the way I need to this weekend, on writing.

Everything begins again

Meanwhile, I am getting all these emails for the Korean American Film Festival New York that my hanji video is screening in. I'll be there for the second screening for the Shorts 2 Program on Saturday, March 19, 8pm at Chelsea Clearview Cinema. I can't make the first screening on Friday since I'll be enroute from California but I'm doing what I can. If you aren't local, you can just kick back with popcorn and watch the whole thing on YouTube.
Now I am off to the gargantuan task of making my bed. With the weight of the deployment stress gone, it's like when you finally get a chance to rest after working like a dog and realize how tired you actually are. My mind is so scattered, and I feel I haven't said a thing I've intended to on this blog for the last how many months. Because I get onto the computer and all I can say is that it takes a lot of energy to make this bed. And if I'm really smart, I'll lay down on it and take a nap.
Stateside, relieved

I was antsy all day since I knew Ben was flying home. They routed him through a different European country, so I was relieved that he wasn't laying over in Germany, and got the call an hour ago: he's home! The deployment is OVER.

Hitting the reset button

The good news is that I flew back, got a ride and lovely dinner with a new friend, and then had another marathon letterpressing class where my students surprised me with how quickly they're picking up techniques. I love seeing them stretch and push themselves and am excited to see their individual projects as well as tomorrow's set of finalized class projects.
