I love curry, it doesn't love me...

One of the great things about being here is the great food they prepare.  Yesterday for lunch there was curry chicken and then last night there was seafood curry with rice (I didn't actually eat any rice though...).  It was yummy.

That was until today... it was not so yummy in my tummy... if I could have recorded the noises my intestines were making I would have.  oh mamma!

This afternoon I worked in the office doing some filing... I am an awesome filer...

Also, I know.... here it comes..... drumroll please

I'm actually making some art!

What?  - YES  I'm actually making some art.

I am deciphering the September issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine in relation to the Fall television schedule....  it's in the manner of a Deb Sokolow piece...  I don't think she would mind - I'm sure my piece will never be seen in public, but it's a good exercise in starting to work.

I have been clean of television for over 24 hours...

I've been Dot free for even longer.

My box of supplies I sent myself arrived today - will I use them?  Probably, but I didn't send myself much...

More bad news.  The grocery store which was in Johnson Flooded in March or some other month and now it's closed...  I guess my idea to get a job there while I was here is not going to pan out...

I wonder if I could get in the to install some work?  nah - what would I install...  mmmmm maybe I would do some video work...

Okay, now I'm just starting to ask a little crazy... maybe it's the curry talking

Tonight I am going to show images of my work.  Then maybe I won't have so many problems describing what I do...

Wish me luck.  I'm going to stay up at least until 9pm tonight...  that would be 6pm Seattle time...

My first walk.

I don't think I am the type of person who can just dive into the work...  I have to move around it, get an idea of my space and figure out what to do.

This afternoon I arrived just in time for lunch (I'm going to gain a million pounds just so you know...), then I had a tour and then I was shown to my room and studio.  They are both pretty nice.  I have bathrooms on both sides of me... yeehaw.

I was given a work study assignment in the office helping with filing and organizing stuff.  It is right up my alley... I will work Monday through Friday 1:15 to 3:15 with weekends off.

Overall I am pleased.  After I checked in with the office I walked up to Johnson State College and joined the fitness center and took some photos on the way down the hill (it is situated at the top of a hill/the Studio Center is in the valley...

oh - I heard crickets too!  I don't think I've ever heard real live crickets ever ever ever...

okay here's some photos...

I am sorry that they are not better organized but I am about to fall asleep. (2:41 Seattle Time)

Now it's Burlington!

I sit and wait for the shuttle to come pick me up.

What I know now....

I am tired.

I have a headache.

I should have brought my coffee press and coffee.

I don't know what they have planned for me this afternoon, but I'm almost positive that I am going to crash fairly early.  I slept a bit on the plane, but I would guess it was only about an hour total.  I am exhausted...

I also drank the worst cup of coffee in my life!

I think I shall go now - I am losing my train of thought.

Here we go.

I am sitting at Seatac airport waiting for my flight to Detroit, which will lead me to Burlington, which will lead me to the Vermont Studio Center...

Key points I would like to make...

A - or is it 1 - I do not do well on little sleep.

B - or is it 2 - If I had known I would get through checking in so quickly being that I am in First Class I would have watched another episode of Intervention on demand.

C - or is it 3 - I am going to go through serious withdrawals from television.

D - (forget this whole 1, 2, or 3, thing...)...  I am really looking forward to having someone cook for me for the next month.

I will not be intimidated.

I will not cry.

I will not eat Dots while I am in Vermont...

That is all.

Okay so I didn't leave...

I am leaving tomorrow... please see Jenerator's Rant if you want an update on what all happened to me...

I look forward to posting here what happens...

What I make...

What I eat...

If I get lucky...

I am an artist.

What?

Okay, if you insist...  Tomorrow I leave for the Vermont Studio Center to  

MAKE ART!

Let me clarify that... I will make art if Hurricane Irene lets me into the state of Massachusetts and then New York, and finally Vermont...  I think I shall a get there ahead of the storm but you never know in these sorts of things.  Could make for some good work...

Okay, I've check in for my flight, and now I have to try and get some rest before my big day.
