Morning met with CP and AF. Then got some keys made, rented two DVDs for 71 cents (2 buck credit and a twofer day). Then to police station to get report needed by school for computer stolen.  Then to O's for lunch and the pool for swim. Over 80ºF here today, clear and bright. Bikini day at the pool, lots getting ready ahead, tanning even before spring break tanning season. Open lanes though, not many swimmer around 2PM. New warm season hours coming after march one. Outdoor Lap 7am-10pm weekdays & 11am-8pm weekendsAt school now waiting for a lecture by Andy Rubin then dinner with him and the printmakers. No computer at home, no web, no email, no streaming music. Cut off until a replacement hopefully this week Life goes on. Friday Brinks Security will install stuff and on a completely different front a replacement microwave will be installed courtesy of my home warranty. Started a small 5x7" painting on board for ArtHouse benefit, continuing on another and still on startup stage on another. Will have another long weekend coming up after class tomorrow, openings and what not. Tags: installation of security features and mi, no net, painting, school, swimming

 Traffic was terrible all day in Austin, coming and going. I guess everyone that had been stuck off the road decided they had to drive around. Schools opening and legislature too added to the mix. I think first day with drawing students went OK. Small group, all female studio majors, all but one Texas natives. Around 4 o'clock temperatures yesterday were still in the 30's and I thought there would be no one or very few swimming laps outdoor. Wrong. Every lane was in use. 82ºF water was welcoming, steam was rising and finally getting back to swimming after was great. Makes one wonder, when the weather really warms up that pool is going to have heavy use. I was just getting use to the relaxed use over the winter break. Met at Dan's with the reading group and had a good discussion about the last two books since half the group missed last month. On Beauty is what we will be reading next. Got home after 11 at night and was happy to see that my bent over, once ice laden, trees were now standing upright and ice free. Meet this afternoon with Chair and assistant chair of studio then an opening at Art House this evening and another two tomorrow night at the CRL and Art Palace. Then studio time for me. School starts in ernest next week and will barrel along. Image is painting by Seth Alverson

 Up to school this morning after a breakfast taco at TacoXpress. Met with foundation faculty and our TAs (BG, CF, VY, JJ). First MRC in 2D and then SW and KH in Drawing. Some busy work, then a swim and home to make a big batch of chicken vegetable noodle soup. Planted some verigated tulips around the silver maple tree and read some on the front porch until dark. Tonights film was the Italian I pugni in tasca, Fists in the Pocket. Paranoid epileptic decides he should kill off the rest of the family. Grey clouds, storm coming, maybe freezing rain Monday morning. Four mornings of studio time before classes begin with just one meeting and an opening to attend.

This is me
This is you
We're all here 'cause
We're not all there.
and so on and on
***Tumblin’ Dice***
Women think I’m tasty, but they’re always tryin’ to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don’t need no jewels in my crown.
’cause all you women is low down gamblers,
Cheatin’ like I don’t know how,
But baby, baby, there’s fever in the funk house now.
This low down bitchin’ got my poor feet a itchin’,
You know you know the duece is still wild.
Baby, I can’t stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin’ dice.
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,
Don’t you see the time flashin’ by.
Honey, got no money,
I’m all sixes and sevens and nines.
Say now, baby, I’m the rank outsider,
You can be my partner in crime.
But baby, I can’t stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’,
Roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice.
Oh, my, my, my, I’m the lone crap shooter,
Playin’ the field ev’ry night.
Baby, can’t stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice, (call me the tumblin’)
Got to roll me, got to roll me, got to roll me (oh yeah)
Got to roll me. got to roll me, got to roll me ( keep on rolling, keep on rolling) |
