the mac and the mic

so long the list grows, and how quietly this blog slips further down it.

here i find myself, on this foggy july first. a terrifying freedom, my life has, and i am grateful, and i continue to wish for some sight into the unknown.

meanwhile, i am humbled by my new job, teaching film-making and screenwriting to a class of developmentally disabled adults. i didn't predict this new trajectory in my life, but (at least) through september i'll be on it. continually learning, often overwhelmed.

and more news: i was reluctant to join this twitter phenomenon for so long, but then suddenly i wasn't. it fascinates me now that this site, this era we're in, even exists. so yes, i have taken up micro-blogging: here's my page and i would love to see whomever may be reading this over there. the short spurt style of it, crosslink show-n-tell, and the 140 character limit excites me. and of course the voyeurism! it's a lot like looking into a fast-moving river, staying still but watching it go by, all the muttering and the complaining and exclaiming and so much more. when something like michael jackson's sudden death happens the sheer volume of the voices was stunning.

and back on earth i am taking part in an art show called "Inside Out" at the Notre Dame Wiegand Gallery, their summer show. info here. i'll believe i'll have two paintings in the show, and a some doll hospital patients will be making a field trip there as well for installation. the opening is Friday July 10th and the show's up through august 7th.

however, if anyone heads down there let me know so i can point you towards the REAL attraction at notre dame, which is a family of deer.
