Intimate sketch of an artist

I've been listening to a lot of Damien Jurado lately.

This is my favorite:

I had a great night with The Swede (which I realize sounds kind of condescending, as far as monikers go, but it's completely affectionate) on Monday. He read some of the things I've written, gave me a bit of feedback (and I changed some of what I'd written because he made a couple of exceptionally valid points), we went and fetched some Greasy and started The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which was really, really good (I JUST finished it this morning. I fell asleep watching it last night. I fell asleep watching it on Monday, too. Not because it was boring, but because I was both tired and quite comfy). It looked interesting, and of course I appreciate a good solid dose of vignetting in my cinematography, and the score was damn near perfection.

I hung out with Stevie for a little bit last night watching A Crime to Remember and talking about our next semester. It's been hard for me to concentrate for the last month. My brain has been highly preoccupied. But I'm almost done, and then I can spend four weeks as preoccupied as I'd like.

I have a family photo shoot to do in the next week or two.

I have to drive to the other end of town today, because certain places in the Springs are closed on a Wednesday, which is the dumbest day of the week to be closed, but I need to get this out.

Holly and I are having drinks tonight. I'm not sure where yet, but it's going to be grand. If Tosh isn't working, I'm going to ask if she wants to come, too. I need a night out with my girls.

I was upset the last time I posted in here. I said things publicly that I shouldn't have, and I spit venom where I didn't need to. I thought about deleting the post, but I'm not going to. I'm still not sure if I was saying things out of spite, or if I actually meant what I said. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the in-between. Duality in that context is completely possible.

I'm looking forward to drinks tonight, I'm looking forward to seeing Eenz on Friday (I haven't seen him in months! He's been so busy with his domestic lifestyle with Minz and her boys that he hasn't had much time to visit me, but I'm glad I get to hang with him Friday afternoon), and I'm very, very much looking forward to seeing Andreas (that's The Swede, for those of you playing the home game) on Sunday. I think the plan for Sunday is HuHot, and then a movie.

I want to go out and take pictures today, but I can't. I have so much stuff to finish before the semester ends. I have all of next week off, but I'm going to spend it finishing everything I have that's due.

I ran into Kody last night, and I told him I'd help him with his philosophy homework (we have a world outline and a quiz due on Friday). I won't be able to do that until tomorrow night after I get out of class, though. For now,  it's article review time. Ew.
