i'm breaking my new year's resolution, but here goes: i hate weeks like this past one, where the amount of work i have combined with the shitty workplace turn me into something unlike a normal person. some of the things that kept me on track were:
- monday: hearing paula scher speak on monday about designing the identity for oola candy, joseph papp public theater, bring in da noise bring in da funk, and especially when she recounted how extensively her work got copied, her comments that as a designer, you don't have your work; the only thing you get to have is change. what a difference it makes to be mature and confident in her art, as opposed to people like me who freak out when someone even borrows my color palette.
- monday: lifting weights.
- tuesday: hearing the music in o brother, where art thou? and much later, after the movie ended, piecing together some of the odyssey allusions that felt like exercise, it'd been so long since i'd read it.
- wednesday: running into people that i barely know, but like, at miyagi. then running away from people i know better than i care to at hell, and ending up at wonderbar with more good friends, and people that i met once a year ago.
- saturday: memory lost!, nan goldin's exhibit of photos at matthew marks gallery in that neighborhood i like to call noche (north chelsea). pictures titled things like "guido with his mother, grandmother and shadow, turin 1999," and "clemens under water in tub, sag harbor 2000."
- most every day: reading drown whenever i was waiting, or at night instead of sitting in front of the computer.
- every day: friends who know who they are that helped keep it together.
