The time I cleaned the outdoors



I spent the weekend cleaning my teacher's barn, old shop, and garden shed.
We worked hard in the sun and earned our keep. And a few dollars for the road. But I would have dont it for the meals and the company.

Jesus bit his finger

Dead Heat Under The Shrubs: An Iranian movie.

About a murderess chasing a boy in the desert. The chase is wily, and it's comical, even if it's a death chase. And sometimes the music is big classic Hollywood, which is also comical. It's important to have a sense of humour when you're running for your life.

It's not funny. It's serious. Run little boy.

tune-off, midnight, get me impact hammers and tequila



Hey these are my friends from the convention. This is what a convention looks like at dinner. There's Andy, the regular cool guy. There's Matt Quinlan RPT absolutely. There's Beth in the empty chair, her boyfriend is into lutherie (making guitars and violins or something. There's Alexander Abel, who'se dad owns Abel hammers in Germany, the slickest sweetest hammers you can get (that means he's piano royalty, a prince). There's oh the fellas from U dub O. We're missing Esteban, the sickest shit, the straight shit from east LA.

In the gospel tradition



Take that, time.

I'm as dashing as a flash in the pan



Truth is, and here's photographic proof, everything is the same size. These sky-high trees are just brain neurons.

things that are under microcopic and through telescopes, could be the same things sometimes. You can never tell when something is infinitely small or infinitely big.

The word is equicosmophotoproportionalis

nah, it ain't.

Heavy snow covers on-tari-oh








All jewelry made from recycled piano parts. Real smoke-and-sun-stained ivory. My trees are most famous, 7 sold.

You can still buy a set of fresh (harvested pre-1986 i think) ivory key tops for about 2000$ USD.

Textile and lumber or how I spent my holiday



Old cruddy movie theater chairs restored. Purple velvety fabric, Dark streaky exotic Wenge wood.

Seems the dust produced from sanding Wenge is maybe a little bit toxic. It is well known in many parts of the world because the bark of several species is ground into a powder to numb fish for harvest.

Dismantling the pair was more or less the chipping off of gum and shaking out of rice from crevasses. Stripping, priming and painting was harsh on account of lack of ventilation, and the stinkin' cold.

But the worst was the fabric. Mystery dust exploding outwards with every stitch unseamed and the hot steam of my iron releasing 20 years worth of back sweat. Felt like I was releasing an egyptian curse... ancient stink curse.

guess it was worth it.

squaaaaaare
