the female gaze

Look with your eyes, not with your hands.


Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future.

Revive

Three more clementines and a bath later... not so sleepy, not so motivated, pretty chilly (the house is cold tonight). Ordered some used books on video art from amazon, in preparation for my new stint as a site-specific video artist this January. The Sex and the City featuring the Guggenheim was on tonight. Looking forward to a fun week as my Father is on vacation and we have some excursions planned, like going to see Bowling for Columbine and maybe some more liberal propaganda if we're lucky. My sister proposed doing something in Massachusetts, so I think Northampton bookstore-browsing, bead shop picking, and pizza eating is pencilled in too. Again, more liberal fun for the kiddies.

My sleeping pattern has been way off kilter lately. It's been a steady routine of shut-eye from 4:30 am to between 10am and 2:30 depending on what I need to do that day. Sometimes I get a nap in late in the day, again, depending on what the day holds. If there is one thing I've learned, from the past two summers or even this semester with 8am classes five days a week, it's that getting up early is the best. I hate it, granted, and I refuse to think of myself as a morning person. Seriously though, once you get in the shower and pump some java into the arteries, it's ain't so bad. But to begin my list of resolutions, getting to bed early (and at the same time every night) is a good one, from my experience, it's the only way to get something done. Okay, I don't know if sleep is next on the agenda, but since I am actually writing about how great "getting up early is" I think this is a sign that I am retired for the night.
