I'm an inventor.

My stomach is sore. This is because I went to my first yoga class ever yesterday with DYA and got quite an ab workout. Then I followed it up with an evening hanging out with Liza and Tony (aka vfc and gloden5000) which involves lots of laughing on its own, but when you add a group viewing of the Mommie Dearest -- it doesn't get much hotter than that.

I spent so much money yesterday, between buying two pieces at the student art sale, dinner, snacks at Walgreens, and then a cab home because it was cold and rainy and the Clark bus drove right by me when I was at the corner. I also ate so much tasty-but-not-good-for-the-body food. Today it's chilly and grey and I plan on staying home and eating food from the organic produce box while reading and writing. Then hopefully tonight hang out with JR which will also involve "hanging out". Luckily, sex is always free. And sometimes booze too since he often buys me drinks.

Though I'm also tempted to dig out all my old paints and see if they've dried up and make use of blank canvasses I've been carrying around for years. But that would be procrastinating.

I'm a dildo, you're a whore.

So yesterday I bought these two pieces at the art sale. They are pictures developed on glass panes.

( take a look at them )

And I'd like to mount them and put them in my office window. Perhaps finding two frames I like, removing the glass panes, and putting a transparent/translucent backing to them. Or leaving them bare. Or, in moments of feeling ambitious, I think I'll construct some sort of box with an artificial light source. Anyone know how natural and/or artificial light might degrade the print? I'm pretty sure it's silver gelatin something....I will e-mail the artist directly, but she's new to the process herself, so I halfway suspect she won't know. Which is why I'm asking all the various artists/photographers/smart people on my friends list.

So my playdate for the night cancelled on me this afternoon. And I'm not that bummed, even though I do want to get with this guy again eventually. I should get some schoolwork done, since so far today I've just watched two movies (Criminal and House of Flying Daggers), but I want to continue snuggling on the couch and watching television.

Or maybe I really will dig out some art supplies. See if my oil and acrylic paints are crusty beyond use.

Last night Liza gave me lots of old CDs she wanted to clean out of her collection. Several of them are entertaining for a song or two, but can't really hold my attention. However, I'm totally in love with this Yoko Ono/IMA album. I'm now at the part of the album with the 15 minute song where she's doing vocal work that sounds like she's getting killed or having an orgasm. Or both.
