an exciting disaster,

Kirsten pulled out, some broadway show deal.

I'm left a tool shed,

and the curious metaphor

of a roof ventilator, whatever you call those things.

Will this train wreck come to full fruition?

I left a stuttering voice message to Brian

Volunteering myself on Mondays

I was very nervous,

hopefully he will get back to me.

ELYSIUM

Taste of Tea

Directed by Katsuhito Ishii

Tuesday of next week.

3.30

maybe someone will come

-

Today is Graphic week

proposed by Steven last week

I need three references

and three photographs

by Wednesday.

-

There has been a great upset, 

I've lost Ulysses,

Something I'll never understand.

But I will recast

and this will happen.

-

There will be a screening soon:

Taste of Tea

Please look for posters.

-

Elysium is now a reality,

I told this to Brad Saunders,

who said it was a cool idea.

A day will be fixed, next week.

-

This week is graphic week.

I will need three of them by next, Wednesday.

I don't remember Mr. Berkman assigning this last term.

-

By the end of this weekend,

Triangle will be finished!

What a laborious journey,

Jill, I will say here, is the shining star,

-

I have auditions today I am ill equipped for.

-

February 15 will be thrilling,

a shoot for John!

With Mr. Choi, a master of seeing

quiet beauties in the banal.

Aspendale, I'm a bit behind, I know!

Lessons from Kit

If you have an open womb,

and you rub coral against it,

it will grow inside of you

then out,

and age, until you let it go.

There is always someone missing in the family photo.

I went to Monrovia Today

I made a left on Camino Real

I saw Katie

Her house was NOT suitable

-

Use what is there.

I instantly paired

the weariness of her eyes to that bird

which now sits alone in the cage

-

On the road

I wanted to take pictures of industrial landscapes

that's Monrovia, I guess

mammoth structures

five or so miles away, when I had gone the wrong way.

But I turned back around

because I had nothing to say

They were only interesting metal looking things

Returning to that which has already passed

is no fun.

Which suggests,

with the right rationale

my laziness is justified.

Return from a brief excursion

Spent a weekend in Aspendale

Past three ghost towns, I saw

But I couldn't take any pictures

What could be said of them

which hasn't already been said?

Decrepit buildings always make powerful imagery.

-

In memories one might find the nooks entirely inaccessible to every other human being on earth.

You might be the only person who can understand them.

The key: to capture what, without you, would never have been seen.

A lesson borrowed from Bresson.

-

In two Wednesdays, Elysium will materialize!

The club thingy they do every term will take place in the cafeteria

An idea Josh and I had:

We would have a small table, white linen, and fine silverware

A scene reading, a break up maybe?

We considered Mr. Beglin as a volunteer reader.

We unanimously agreed he was funny and would draw unsuspecting new-termers.

An integral ingredient is also necessary: Mission Tortilla Chips.

Remember to purchase at Costco.

-

Big surprise, on my way back I discovered I left my glasses six hours away in a cold vacant cabin. Sling and the rest of them will return in five weeks. I will rethink this misfortune as a self imposed limitation. Like film, like life.

Some dates to keep in mind:

A curious effect

underneath the oak tree

through the green gauze

a quarter before all the light went away.

All the maple leaves became softer

An older woman named Myrna has offered me her home.

But I prefer the tool shed now,

everything reinvented

reinvigorated

I also save forty dollars.

The answer was right there!

My thinking was hasty

so I overlooked.

But the interior is powerful indeed

I felt it at first sight.

-

I will get permission.

Hunter, Sunday. 

Celebration!

A new tool!

Point & Shoot

Purchased in Long Beach from a nice lady,

Stacey something.

She worked at Boeing

Shot a few test frames:

will post soon,

CVS had forgotten to leave the negatives 

in my envelope.

-

I will go to school tomorrow

To pick up crumbs

left behind from last term.

Never, ever leave behind bread crumbs.

-

To be filed:

An exemplary image,

reproduced from Josh's refrigerator.

This would marry well with the walking mirror.

Be cautious.

Work should not be made by mixing ingredients.

I made some sketches.

concerning Garfield Estates.

Will post soon.

The hanging can has proved problematic.

Will fix, somehow.

Remember, the land of condo people.

I haven't asked enough questions.

What happened in the living room

when Darrell came home

from Neil Labute's play,

"The Distance From Here"

Early January?

Searched for apartment today

Offered forty dollars
