Started working with new artists support group that Diana started. We have our second meeting tomorrow.

Helping Jen move has been a total nightmare. Dealing with what little stuff I still have there and the painting she bought from me have been horrible. I think overall too the stress of moving, of her moving and me leaving what has been an imperfect sanctuary, has been tough. More crap tonight and then the movers come tomorrow. I will be out of there tomorrow morning. Hopefully going to open studios and doing other things besides moving.

Doesn't seem to bother her too much though.

I met a woman on craigslist who seems very smart and funny. We may get together sunday for open studios. Just friends I suppose: also someone asked me to go to the Pixies last Friday, but I bowed out. I couldn't afford it anyway.

The debates were good and bad. I hate Bush, so I'm biased,but he did make some good points. Kerry seemed very solid and more liberal than I expected on some issues. I guess they will both get some undecided voters out of it.

With Viox going off the market things are starting to pick up here. Another nasty drug by a nasty pharm company. People love to tell their stories even after I say "We just want your name and phone number." Bizarre. They want their money, I guess.

I've got "Desperado" playing in my head. It's not good. Maybe I need a cheap MP3 player to cure me of these random songs.

My favorite song right now is Tricky's version of Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos". Great stuff.

Worked on my novel, formatting it with the photos, decided I need to focus on that and on the installation piece.
