This is what my day looked like today. Yep, it was a beautiful 70 something degree day out in Tucson. I woke up with plans. Big plans. For one thing, I was going to write my pieces on watching movies with Bean and on disaster movies. For another, I was going to clean out the enormous mountain of books, papers, magazines, and movies next to my bed. But there was the dripping. The FUCKING ...
One thing that's good to do on a Saturday, if you're Bean, is get out your VAST COLLECTION of Build-A-Bear Critters, dress them in various outfits, and go on a camping trip in your house. For the record, why is that doll tent (which is actually a cat tent) just as onerous to set up as an actual people tent? Hmmm? Of course, the Fur Sharks like to join in on the critter camping....
Original Program from the Retrospective. I'll frame it with the collage. I have talked many times about the time that I saw 27.5 Fassbinder films in 3.5 weeks at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, certainly one of the major Film Experiences of My Life. Not only do I continue to carry the Fass Fat on my legs to remember the enormously excessive amount of beer I drank during the Fass ...
Remember the KDD Makes A Collage video series? Well one friend followed the whole series as I made the collage, and he is the only one who recognized the final collage or at least told me that he did, so he won the Grand Prize -- a collage from the scrap materials from the KDD Makes A Collage videos. This is the prize. Even though it's small and simple, certain pieces played a key role in ...
... day that will steal my time, another day when I don’t do the things I know I can do. Another day when my gifts are a curse. Another day that will come and go. kdotdammit captures the frustration of the writer submerged in wasteful duties and limitations imposed by others. Time ticks awaylike water running down a plughole as hours are spent mired in unproductive drudgery which seems ...
Actually packing up two collages -- this one and this one -- to hand deliver to their new home, and suddenly the dark clouds are lifting. I'm back in the present. My art. My collages. My friends. Caring loving people in my life. Woo hoo for lifting the Clouds of Doom.
As I was driving just now, I realized that this kind ofdark gloomy depression thing that is hanging over me is more than just exhaustion. It’s like a living thing that is suffocating me and I can’t climb out of it. It’s so dark, so horrid, so bleak, so dire. I figured out what it is. It’s that photo. The one I posted with my piece on The Boosters. I am so grateful for all of your comments. ...
...an Amazon trade with me. That worked. I used it to buy Bean birthday presents. #3 All of these pieces are personal and come straight from me and my heart. If you are interested you can email me at kdotdammit at gmail. I've listed them by numbers in the order that I made them. #4 Many thanks. And even if you're not interested in buying any, I hope you enjoy looking at them. I'll have ...
Following thornyc 's cue, I decided to start my day by cleaning off my desktop. Here is a bunch of stuff I've been saving. I'm giving it to you and pressingdelete. Enjoy. Time to hit the road for a cool crispy chilly morning run. Yay, for cool crisp and chilly.
