Tommy sends a link for
sphereing as we have talked about walking on water and crossing the Mississippi in a clear ball a la The Avengers or some early reference to Boy In A Plastic Bubble.

down by law
that box of matches on the top bunk in the deserted cabin on the bayou after we make our jail break and the bloodhounds lose our scent.

walk on the wild side
This weekend i watch two films i find set in New Orleans: Pretty Baby (1978) and Walk on the Wild Side (1962). Both, it turns out, are about prostitutes and brothels.
when i read my horoscope for the week this morning, i am a bit surprised to find familiar words phrases references. i suppose i shouldn't be, but i am.
GEMINI May 20-June 19
Though Mars, Venus and Mercury cavort in your play pen, your fun quotient isn't as high as you'd like it to be. Are family demands conflicting with career gains? The threat of meltdown highlights a need to reach out and touch someone. While lunar beams illuminate a walk on the wild side, try to avoid that old deer frozen in the headlights thing.
i check, look it up anyway -- full moon is tomorrow, monday night

lucky in love
to find a length of RED RIBBON, RED LACE, RED CORD or RED WOOL is an omen of luck in love. if you should find such an omen, pick it up and while doing so, make a wish regarding the one you love. if you have no one special in mind, signifies new love will be making a dramatic appearance.
should be kept as a love amulet

revelry :: only by the night
the Kings of Leon are keeping me company. a few weeks till they arrive to play The Warfield, looking forward to the live energy, swimming in that. soundtrack for the river is heavy on Kings, and the new release: Only By The Night. they kind of haunt me. hypnotic. over and over i listen.
R E V E L R Y kings of leon
what a night for a dance, you know i'm a dancing machine
with the fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
i get lost in the night so high i don't wanna come down
to face the loss of the good thing that i have found
woo hoo hoooo
woo hoo hoooo
in the dark of the night i could hear you callin' my name
with the hardest of hearts, i still feel full of pain
so i drink and i smoke and i ask you if your ever around
even though it was me who drove us right in the ground
see the time we shared it was precious to me
but all the while i was dreamin' of revelry
gonna run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
with the wind on my back i won't ever even bat an eye
just know it was you all along who had ahold of my heart
but the demon and me were the best friends from the start
so the time we shared it was precious to me
all the while i was dreamin' of revelry
dreamin' of revelry
and i told myself oh the way you go, it rained so hard it felt like snow
everything came atumbling down on me
in the back of the woods it was darker than night
palest of the old moonlight
everything just felt so [empty]
dreamin' of revelry
dreamin' of revelry
dreamin' of revelry
dreamin' of revelry

the beauty of today
The beauty of today, i cannot even lasso with words to put on this page. it has been an eye-opener, a reality, an un.reality, a hint of the future, something always hoped for, dreamed of, worked for all those things and so many more.
hard sweet hard is funded, locked in, going to happen. in a few short weeks i have written a new proposal and it has been funded by strangers who have never met me but love my work and are truly excited to have me come explore, make it, bring it to life there. – just as i am so amazed. there have been so many challenges, and it is not easy to keep a focus on making art when the other demands of life pull and claw. and I think sometimes, will I go under? where is my rent $ ? food? it always works out somehow in the end, and each new challenge brings an even brighter surprise on the other side.
I have learned so much this year, have found so many things to be happy for
TODAY: HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY.
dialed in, very aware, living in a state of heightened awareness, as if the magic is appearing, the formulas are unlocking and writing themselves in the air. acts of faith, belief i feel at times. like I am just trying so hard to think them into being, to realize the thoughts. in such close proximity to madness, i question myself at times. is it madness too? but I am reassured by fellow artists, as I too have reassured them at other times. i am ever.hopeful that this is the flow - that all the long years of hard work, collecting experience and skills, of proposing ideas, trying, risking, heading out into the unknown with the ideas and faith and however much preparedness one can “bring” … anyway I do feel that this is the beginning of a very productive time.
