11:38 PM: living the artist's way [#] [0]

craigslist has changed my life again! because of an ad i posted in the "artists" section, someone from the multnomah athletic club (one of those places where a membership costs $4500 a YEAR to maintain -- if you can get in at all) contacted me to run an artist's way group for them in june. i met with them for the first time today. they're so enthusiastic about it that when the person who first contacted me found out i was in the office she ran up to hug me. because it's a summer session we've agreed to shorten it to 7 weeks instead of the usual 13, and they want it to run even if only a few people enroll, and they're not even charging their usual 20% overhead to members! so i'm very hopeful about this.

speaking of which, after a few weeks of thinking that neither my monday night or tuesday morning groups were going to make it, i now have three participants in my monday night group and a maybe (but really, proably not) for tuesday morning. i'm so excited!

that means this week is being spent (when not at work) making the studio ready, which really at this point is not very much work for me, but a lot of work now for sven, who has this amazing idea to create our own flatfile system and wants to implement it by monday. eep! and of course the really cool star lamps i've had for a year now but haven't had a place to put them. curse our tall studio ceilings!

while doing my part to put up curtainy things in the studio tonight, a decorative molding fell and socked me in the mouth. it split my lip so badly sven was initially afraid i'd need stitches. the studio refrigerator has no ice in it but it does have otter pops, so i used a "Louis Blue Raspberry" to numb my lip, which caused me to be unable to smile or say words with the letter "m" in them for the next couple of hours.
