My presentation went really well. The past inspirations, in the now, and my predictions for the future. Now, I have to stick everything in papyrus and ink form . . . fun. I have a plan in all of this - I sware. It is one that I am not quite ready to disclose for fear of jinxing it. Eventually it will have to surface. Now, if I could just convince myself that I actually belong in graduate school . . .
Today I have to celebrate my boss's birthday. I have been saved, however, from having to endure "Our Daily Bread" and quiche. It's appropriate that it be raining.
For my cultural immersion this summer, I am going to stick myself in as many Flea Markets as possible and hope that my little cameras excite them rather than piss them off. I have only to sell the idea to the big head.
Here's a link to an awesome piece of digital creation:

I didn't think that I would struggle with this "blog thing" so much . . . wow.
In light of the fact that I am working towards an MA in Digital Storytelling and am a "creative type" I decided that I needed a blog. I need a blog as a research, exploratory type thing.
I've shied away from straight-up writing for too long. If I couldn't hide it in my journal, I didn't want to type it. There has to be something fulfilling about having one of these damn things or else everybody and their brother wouldn't be doing it.
So here's the thing: I don't want to reveal too much. There are too many skeletons in the closet, people who might try to kill me or take me to court, point a finger at me should I say anything incriminating. And glory be to you if you're one of those type people who doesn't have to worry about such things. Understand that I love writing and occasionally a mighty crafty phrase will slip out of my cerebral cortex and onto the page. Lately, I have been on this high regarding "digital mediums," especially digital poetry . . . I think that I will somehow weave it into my thesis.
I've been way too anti-social lately. I have a few friends in my grad program, but I could really use a groupie or two for the sake of my self-confidence.
Meanwhile, here's a site that I hope you have already seen: www.bornmagazine.org
