I walked around my childhood home in Squirrel Hill and lucky me it was being totally gut rehabbed and I was able to 'get in' and see the basement stairs I fell down in 1976. So fun bumping into you at the Mattress Factory! What are the chances??? Pittsburgh 2025.
almost!!!
still have about 10 deadlines before I can get back to studio mode gah
taking a few days off soon. need a few nothing days.
now where was i
its been a minute. peace and love USA peace and love. absurd horrifying theater.
offline May 31 – June 9 for the most part.
they look physically unhealthy. a lot of processed foods. cellular aging thing
when I was a kid I didnt overthink things, had no internal dialogue, trusted everyone
life is a strange gift
had a cool call, then oof botched a few things, delivered a project later than I wanted, lots to do still. note: I will be totally offline for about 10 days soon. detox by way of circumstances. will see what it does to my chemistry. remember 1995? that feel. slower, more mysterious, more social.

mostly very busy. all good stuff. excellent call yesterday. met old friends at museum for much needed social interactions. def rec this. visit.mcachicago.org/exhibitions/... onto prepping for events. figuring. ideas and logistics. was rainy most of the day which suited the inside times. travel soon.

just walking tonight. slow. smells fantastic out here
early call tomorrow with some brilliant people. everyday im amazed by the smarties I get get to meet. blows my mind. what a time to be alive. best and worst.
my partner back later tonight from NY. could use a hug. its weird not touching any person or animal for days and days. im big on hugs. people at work DO NOT HUG.
did get my backup pump the other day. did get some old-timey long acting insulin in case my equipment double fails. this is how we travel. redundant systems.

oh no not this ugh yucky

this book I just started kind of depressing and stressy. What else do we have… need something warm and empowering maybe collective imagination, love, magic. When I was a kid I used to read the old set of encyclopedias someone gave my family I loved them they were bound in white texture and smelled
