planting heart seeds

right now i am wearing these kinda cute but also kinda hideous sherpa booties i got at the gap with a gift card. they are so comfy...the thing is, i think they would only really look cute on sarah jessica parker. but they are rad none the less. it never fails...i always think of so many great, amazing, life changing things to say when i'm miles away from a computer! come to think of it, i bet i'm never actually miles away from a computer.

i'm settling into a nice, sustainable routine with work and aparment living. every few days i go to the library to get new cds to sustain my need for music at work. the library rules because everything there is free! so, you don't get to keep it forever, but who cares, most cds i dont want to keep forever anyhow. lately i am all about frank sinatra. it's the perfect smooth listening for pumping out chalk art or lounging in the apt, or lounging at work when i'm supposed to be pumping out chalk art. ya know. also lately, everything either rules or blows. also, anything that is stupid (that blows) is an idiot. i love how my current venacular and inside jokes with friends are always changing. luckily (although posting this will probably change this fact) i think "heart of hearts" is phasing out in the land of me and bobo.

i am feeling so damn artsy lately! it rules. i want my apt to be a land where a myriad of artistic projects are always in different stages, and right now, it is. it makes for a pretty big mess, but who cares, i haven't made mcminnville friends yet. right now i am making myself a new journal, and it's the first real book i've ever really made and it is so fun. i dissected some old books and studied the binding to figure it out. i'm also working on a collage of sorts, but it's more like artistically defacing an old book. the book is bright yellow and is called "the broken heart: the medical consequences of loneliness." how cool is that? i'm going through and collaging and writing on lots of the pages, using the existing book as a background. i want to try and keep the scholary tone and make it a collection of things i'm learning about love, loneliness, and brokeness. for that last paragraph, i apologize if i bored any of my non-art major friends. i want to make so much art and so much music and put it all over town and see what happens.

if you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. be sure to stay busy and plant a variety of crops, for you never know which will grow...perhaps they all will.
