Well, let’s see. I’m feeling better. I need to go in and get a final x-ray to make sure the pneumonia is gone and I’m healing nicely. Juniper is sick again so I don’t know when that’ll be. I don’t want to be sick anymore. I’m doing this cleanse thing<\/a> but I’m wavering a bit on my diet. I got really hungry and had meat and that leak seems to have turned into a steady stream. I’m not sure Burgerville cheeseburger fits on the list of healthy foods to eat while cleansing.<\/p>\n

I made it past the first round for grad school applications and have interview this week. I was really nervous but I think I’m working through it. I think I know what I’m going to say — more or less. Is it weird that I spent an afternoon finding photos and bios of all the MFA faculty so I could create a names and faces document to prepare me for the interview? There will only be two faculty members in my interviews. But I don’t know which ones. I also spent a great deal of time looking at student and faculty work online. If I had any memory retention at all might might be concerned I’m turning into a stalker, but alas, I can’t remember a thing. Might have to do with not getting any sleep last night. <\/p>\n

Since my applications are in, that means I’m done with my intense period of creating portfolio work. Last week was catch up week as well as starting a very cool four week online class called Interwoven<\/a>. This week is more house related stuff plus more class plus preparing for interviews. I owe Red Tricycle pitches, but I’m so distracted. I’m focusing on just making work for the online class and after the four weeks are up, I want to work on more typewriter and topographical map drawings.<\/p>\n

Speaking of class. I actually crocheted a granny square. This really is an amazing feat.

I also started on this cute little bee mobile:

I have all these great books checked out from the library — Richard Serra, Joseph Bueys, lots of land art books, animation books, and I’m too tired to read. So I just look at the pretty pictures when I get moments here and there.<\/p>\n

ok too tired to blog. bye bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
