Sep. 13th, 2007 05:41 pmOkay, people. Stop making stuff happen on Friday that I want to attend. Until we get some scientific advancement happening, there is only one of me, and it is already booked up with too many things!
Thank you for all the great responses to my last thinking-out-loud post. I don't wanna get a big case of the "love ya man"'s, but really, I appreciate being constantly surrounded by thoughtful, creative, fun people. And in so many different areas of my life, too, friends and burners and coworkers and derbyfolk...
Burn decompression is going pretty well, now that I've gotten through that first week with so much stuff. That kind of made it easier in a weird way. I didn't have time to brood on how I wasn't in the desert anymore since I had so much other craziness to attend to between work stuff and a wedding out of state and the gallery performance and everything. (Though I did burst into tears after loading back in from my show just 'cause I was tired and relieved that I was done and that I could sleep for a long time.) So now that that's all calmed down, reality camp is more of a relief than a downer. I've been eating a lot of ice cream and have enjoyed just sitting around at home watching movies. This morning I did really wish I could ride my bike around on the playa instead of going to work, but, you know... in general. I go back to derby tonight. My brain doesn't really want to go and my body feels out of the habit of skating, but I'm looking forward to seein' my ladies and I think the exercise will feel good.
As far as projects go, I still want to finish an album, but I decided I want to get the film score done first. I've decided not to get a grant proposal together for a deadline tomorrow that I'd been considering- the idea I had still feels too half-baked. I think it would be better for me to finish things before starting more new ones. My artist-neighbor at work just finished his most recent big project and said he was really relieved when he realized what the next thing that he wanted to work on was. I feel like I have the opposite problem- too many balls in the air at once, and rarely finishing. I say I like multitasking, but maybe it's just a fear of saying something is done.
