• productivity is up and to the right

    I am getting lots done today. I got my lazy arse to the gym this morning and worked out for an hour and a half. I did the precor cross trainer thing for a half hour, then a mellow half hour row followed by a half hour brisk walk. I’m hoping a little weekly rowing…

  • Hard working woman

    Hard working woman Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I made sure I had some plans this morning because I’m just feeling a little lost and dewildered at the idea of spending the summer painting. I’m so terified about money right now. I was going to go to the south bay as a pseudo day off and…

  • Cutest boy in the world

  • Need old mortherboards and components

    Hi, if you have pieces of old computer motherboards and collections of capacitors, leds, and transistors, you can send them my way. I’m considering taking my project one step further and embedding objects into my paintings. Looks like I’m taking a trip to Weird Stuff Warehouse on Monday. I haven’t gotten to see any art…

This is actually…

  • Is Thursday almost over?

    Where has the time gone? I spent this morning studying, this afternoon painting and this evening studying. Time for bed. Here is a bedtime story. Have you ever read the Jean-Paul Sartre cookbook? I first saw this in an email forward in probably 1991. That’s before there was a real big world wide interweb that…

  • Womanhouse 1972

    We recently watched a documentary by Johanna Demetrakas about the Womanhouse project in my women’s art history class. My class had some surprising reactions that I didn’t expect from a group of liberal San Franciscans. Here is a brief history of the project followed by some of my responses to reactions. Womanhouse was an art…

  • The 80s are the new 80s

    We went to New Wave City at the DNA lounge last night and danced to some 80s music. I don’t dance anymore so I had to drink a lot of vodka and I think maybe I had one or two or three or four more than I should have. So instead of studying all day…

  • carbon babies take over

    Hydrogen converts to helium. The helium hangs out in the helium bar and the center of the star, chilling and mixing until gravity starts squeezing. Things get heated up and the helium starts making carbon babies. That’s what I learned today in class. Wednesday I learned that corn consumed them all! Them being the mound…

    Fears I have: â?¢ I won’t get the book deal and I’ll be up shit creek for money. I could really use a book advance right about now. â?¢ I will get the book deal and it will break me into little pieces â?¢ Art school will put me in large amounts of debt â?¢…
