One of my favorite Christmas carols, mostly cause it reminds me of family and closeness. But why am I thinking of that song, while sitting alone at home...Today we got our first snow! It's not much, but enough to be excited about.
I love that snow! I often claim it's one of the reasons I moved to this little lumber town. How it's dances downward, while a few catch a drift, as if trying to head back up to the sky. So light and fragile, melting as the touch my window. I just wished it was more...Windex practically swims through it, but enjoys every moment of it. But atlas, the sun is trying to poke itself through the clouds...
So I haven't been home, seriously. I think last night was the first night I spent in my own bed, even without Jason. Just me and the dog, who is now sleeping again in a dog bed that bearly can contain her. It felt good, I slept really well. I've been staying with Jason mostly because he and I hang out so late. I'm not neglecting Windex, she comes with just about every time. But I finally said I was staying here, and it actually worked. I also had time yesterday to clean my sheets, it had been two weeks, though only the dogs had been using them. I like my bed a lot, and just knock out on it...
Last night was the last of the Fall Senior Shows, which one side of the room was better than the other, minus Ed's placement of his spectacular forged bracelets and rings. But I love going to these things and bumping, literally, into old faces. Craig, who graduated with a degree in ceramic in SP05, was there for Larry Phan's show, which really resembled someone's from a few years back, Eric Camino. Anyway, Craig is a hoot, yes I said hoot. He's my Dad's age, and a big flirt. I informed him of my change in emphasis, since I lack aesthetics when it came to my pots. "I disagree, I think you had very good aesthetics." But regardless, I had no support from the Faculty. He asked what was in stored for me after my BFA. "Grad school, I would love to go somewhere in Oregon, but where ever will give me a paid internship, that's where I'm going." He starting going on and on about UNM, and how things are kinda messed up there, but you doing your own thing. "You just work, that's all you can do." I only knew Craig for a semester tops! But he has inspired me so much when it comes to my artistic abilities.
Which leads me to my show. I have a year, to be completely finished with it. Which also means I need to start talking to my committee. So far I only have two people, TWO! I need at least three. So I need to start putting Ideas together, and running them by them and others...
