Happy to report...

I have finished my bio and it is whisking it's way over the computer networks to where it needs to be.

Next on the agenda is to go and buy more coffee for the morning. I'm down to my last scoop and I don't think I'd be in a good situation tomorrow morning if I didn't have my full quota of caffeine.

The weather has officially changed to fall and I have had to break out the long underwear (it's some of my favorite)... I have more on the way (with my boots and winter coat) but it hasn't arrived yet. It's being sent to the studio which means I will have to go down there this week.

I like the studio, but the one think I learned in grad school is that I need to have a television near me while I'm working. I don't necessarily need to be interested in what's going on - it just needs to be on... I just don't want to spend time "working" without one around.

Since I've been posting photos here are some I took on the walk home over the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday and at Astor Place...

More.

On the agenda today is finishing my bio (I think I said I was going to do that yesterday but I didn't). I did get a good portion done but I'm just not feeling it. I am also going to have to break down and do laundry... maybe I'll take the laptop to the laundromat and work on the bio there. I also should go down to the studio and deliver some of my memorabilia I have gotten from the Show over the past week.

Yesterday I went for a walk down to Tompkins Square Park and watched the dogs in the dog run. It made me miss Stinky... I did see a few doxies while I was out (although none as cute as Stinky).

I need to post to I Heart Ann sometime soon as well, before I forget what happened on Friday.

KG has a point...

It was pointed out to me by Karolina via email that the photos I posted last night have no nature in them. I will start with an excerpt from her email here...

i like your pictures of the sky scrapers and your statement on nature vs manmade. but, there is no nature in it. if there where trees in the reflection it would go with the statement better. in fact though, i like that there is a complete lack of nature and only man made reflecting man made with the dialogue of natural vs man made being applied to it. because the definition of natural is one that is near impossible to answer.

When I was making the statement I think I was talking in general terms... the clouds in relation to the buildings - the sky... oh hell, I don't know what I'm talking about...

This morning I am going to finish my artist bio. REALLY! I know I've been saying it all along - but I'm going to go out into the world and do it. I think there are too many distractions here in the apartment (ie television and internet - and television on the internet)...

I went to bed last night before 9:00. I was worn out... it's going to be brisk today - perfect for a walk after I get all my tasks done. So I better get moving.

Do I really want to go out this morning?

I'd actually like to sleep some more, but I can always sleep in December right?

It rained like crazy yesterday afternoon and it reminded me of home. This morning it's a bit chillier. I can take it though... I'm a tough cookie with a soft center. (it's almost a little too soft)...

Today when I get back from the show I need to buckle down and finish the artist bio. I've been offered help by a few people to proofread so that is nice. I just have to buckle down and do it. I also need to make my sign for Monday so I can have it replicated for my Chicago operatives...

Well, I guess I better get a move on... although I may get more camera time if I were in a robe.

Putting yourself out there...

I just sent an email to Sarah Sze to see if I could meet her while I'm in New York. It never hurts to ask.

Here's a link to her website Sarah Sze. She had a piece at the MCA in Chicago last summer which I really liked...

I'm trying to write my artist bio and it's not easy... maybe I can get someone to write it for me... (I'll make you cookies!)... or maybe I'll just appropriate Ann Curry's bio and use it as my own... hmmmm.
