Apr. 14th, 2018 08:40 amWriting this from Portland. I'm up visiting my brother: I went to his latest play last night, and I'll try to write more about it later. I really like this city, and frankly miss it, despite all the things Boston has that it lacks.
Getting up here involved ghetto-rigging one of my car's side mirrors duct tape after something (the hedge? another car in the parking lot at work?) snapped it half off on Wednesday; this came at the end of about twelve hours of panicking about whether I was going to make it up, during which I was also frantically completing an art project. But the art got printed and framed, the car hasn't died yet, and I made it to Portland.
Now if only there were about fifty more hours in this weekend...

Feb. 1st, 2017 09:42 pmApparently my raise FINALLY came through. My financial situation is still pretty parlous, though.

Meanwhile, the inevitable has finally happened, and I have found ways to combine my obsessions with doing graphic art and bellringing. So spent waaaayy too much of the last couple of nights designing a bell tower, to be built after I inherit $20 million and a place in the country (ha!), and part of tonight trying to work out if any of the bells ever ring the same sequence in something called Dewsbury...which I had worked out from first principles while on my lunch break, and then sent to one of my instructors with a note to ask Does this work and What is it, anyway?
She said that she'd never rung it, but it actually looked kinda kinda pretty, and she might make everyone else learn it.
Weather: 1" snow, much of which has now melted.
