hello? hello? is this thing still on? no apologies, but tuck yourself in for a hella long post. :)

on friday sven & i went to amago's frogz, a costumed dance troupe to which i had two wildly different reactions. pre-intermission i was delighted: the costumes, lighting and gestures were both suggestive and enchanting. my favorites of this period were "frogs", "reptiles" (spookyneat crocodiles!), "strings" and "intermission." however, post-intermission i was disturbed, and not in a good way. "racoons" started off the set and was both boring and repetitive, but once "orbs" began, with angry french balls stealing shoes from children until the whole audience was howling & sobbing, i was really unhappy. it got to the point where three children were on stage punching the orbs, which i can't imagine was the intended effect, and if it was, then that would make me even unhappier. nothing post-intermission matched the joy i found in the first half, and it sort of made the whole project a wash. i'd probably go again, but with some serious reservations.

but the thing that made it all worthwhile was that we stopped at burgerville for strawberry shortcake & saw fireworks exploding over the river again! this is the second time we've gone to burgerville late and had to pull over into a parking lot, climb on top of trixie, and enjoy the fireworks. (i think it was the start of the rose festival.)

last weekend sven & i went to the stumptown comics fest, meeting alex & surprise guest ben! alex says i'm not updating often on the blog. it's true! now that the majority of the people i know are blogging (now michael's friends bryan & steve are in on it!), where the heck am i? for someone who's underemployed, i sure am busy! anyway, i bought everything both girl-tables had to offer.

psu: alas, really no work from maggie this month. her boss found they had $60,000 less than they thought they did, so lots of stuff got put on hold. she says she wants to hire me and even knows what she wants me to do, but can't commit even when the fiscal year begins though i should check back with her then. she asked, "but that's okay, right? i mean, you have other stuff lined up?" um, no. i guess i should. *sighs* she told me about a full-time position that might open up in extended studies in july. and stephen gance is leaving, possibly not under his own will; he's the webct admin guy i first talked to when i got here.

meowmix: i got the important stuff (ical & address book) running before my phone call to maggie. email is on another server, so i fortunately don't have to worry about that. handy to have a 30gb ipod & sven's huge hal 9000 drive, i tell you. :) surprised to find i could only change my default shell via netinfo. still haven't played w/ expose. still lots to do: itunes imported everything on my hard drive sometimes more than once, so i have to weed through it (and deauthorize tori, i suppose). and it's narcoleptic: 30 minutes left, and then BONK. thinking of calling it "eliot" after t.s. eliot's "book of practical cats." any other suggestions are also welcome. "fluffy" is a close second. :)

randomly ran into andrew at fresh pot. that turned into something sven's been wanting to start for a while: the "write now!" group, where we get together and write for 2 or 3 hours. i think it'll be good time for me to do vein of gold exercises & poetry. but this weekend is booked and next weekend is the pride parade, so not till the end of the month, it looks like.

found: funny guy! got him to sign my book, says he knows someone with my name. "the booty don't stop." got the same picture of george & laura bush i did (but addressed to "mr. f. magazine"). called someone right then about the motorcycle note. told him about the ephemera exhibit, and he'd like to see pix.

unconscious collective meeting: we animated in under 2 hours! "catch" is a funny little animation where we all drew something and came up with a little 7-second snippet, which doesn't sound like much but the last time sven animated an 8-second bit, it took him 8 hours. hooray for adobe after effects (and lower production values :)!

came home to a blackout. i love blackouts! we walked around the neighborhood in the dark, though there was enough light from the rest of portland to reflect under the silver sky to give everything enough of a glow to see clearly, but all the annoying street lights were out (too bad! i would have -loved- to have seen stars with all the lights out). i took the opportunity to explore a house under construction, one of my favorite activites (and this thing is HUGE! but it doesn't have a studio. hah!).

yesterday, i weeded for four hours. :) i'm hoping to keep at least part of the jalex zapp-garcia memorial garden and i'm hoping she can point keepable stuff out to me before i get all crazy with the planting & the gardening.

last night we saw "the cockettes" at cinema 21, who i first heard about from the lipstick librarian, linda. sven & i dressed "fabulously": me in a long-sleeved tight black-silver shiny shirt w/ lose teal shiny pants and with my hair in pigtails & diamonds glued to each eye, while sven was dressed in a sparkly black dress and black & white striped hose and glitterbrushed and tiny star stickers near his eyes and big clunky black shoes. ee!

today has been more studio prep, though sven is at a point where he's actually working on the lovecraft film over there. yay! me, i'm more interested in the garden because its lifespan is now or never, but i did wash the studio windows. :)
