today's word is "emblematic"

I just have a second b/c I'm about to go into a meeting with a choreographer who wants to do a documentary about sleep (Shimkin Frumway is the choreographer's name).  He has a nice studio and I'm in the waiting area.  But today's word, for some reason, is "emblematic."  I like the word.  It's emblematic of something.  I'm not sure.  It's got just the right amount of letters and syllables.  It starts with a common letter "e" but ends with a hard "c."  And, it means something special.  Well, all words mean something special.

Seasons

I'm really getting into what seasons really are.  Like, whenever a season changes, we notice it.  But when it's the middle of the season, we don't notice it.  It's like, when you wear a hat, you don't realize it's on, until you take it off.  I never understood that.  I also never understood why people wear hats anyway.  It's like, you have a head, what more do you need?  And why does anyone even wear scarfs.  It's like, there should be fabric that's a little more, it's like the ultimate simple garment, more simple than a t-shirt.  That's why the seasons are so important.  Because you change clothes.  And as Ludmilla Windermere says, "When you change clothes, you change."  And I change clothes often.  More often than seasons change.

Quiet Diet

I'm not really sure what I was doing with my non-diet.  I wound up getting very sick, even though I really didn't change my diet, so much as monitor what I was eating.  I think food is like, I'm not sure what it's like, but it's like something.  It's a metaphor.  I'm going to write more about food and our relationship with it, without it and through it.  Someone once said that "food" stands for "feeling oblong or dead."  Which kind of says to me, you either eat or die.  Actually a coffin is sort of oblong...but, well, it sort of makes sense. 

I'm going to see Empty at this new club that opened, Club Club.  Empty does Viking folk music as speed metal www.emptymetalvikingfolk.com  Shiould be pretty weird

Eating and then not eating

I'm not on a diet.  I'm just trying to monitor my eating.  Instead of monitoring what I eat, I'm writing down all of the things that I DON'T eat.  I also count all of the hours I am not actually chewing food.  Although this is weird because, after I eat, my body is digesting food.  Does anyone know how long digestion takes?  Is that what qualifies as eating? 

Anyway, the actual time spent eating yesterday, chewing food basically, was only 73 minutes.  So I was NOT eating for 22 hours and 47 minutes.   

Here's some things that are in my non-diet:

  • Celery
  • Fiddle faddle
  • Poppycock
  • Rosemary foccaccia
  • Jalopeno cornbread
  • gum
  • Waffles
  • Swiss chard
  • Curly fries
  • Cavatelli
There's a lot more; will write later.

Trying to forget...October....

I can't believe so much time has passed and I haven't been blogging.  Here's some key things happening presented as a bulleted list: 

  • Working to create new show on the significance of powdered sugar.
  • Vumba is out; literally.  She went out one night and I found out she's sleeping outside, not homeless, but she's found a spot where she can pitch a tent.  I'm not allowed to tell anyone where it is. 
  • I started watching television again.  It's weird.  There are all these shows on.
  • The Kashi people haven't returned my calls.  I just wanted them to call back so I can have permission to use their name in this fake billboard I'm doing for this installation at The Canned Monkey Gallery.
  • Lorca, Yalta, Elba, Melba and Shushan invited me to jam with their band, "The Nothingness."  That was like a month ago...they still haven't rehearsed.  I'm going to play zither.
  • I've recovered very nicely from the injury.  I can sneeze again w/out having to hold my eyes open.
  • I haven't found a lawyer to take my case.
  • I spent a whole day with a brick tied to each shoe and a brick tied to the top of my head.  It was fun.  Hardly anyone noticed.
  • When I eat cheese and pumpernickels I break out in a rash on my ankles.
  • I need a new bed; my mattress makes these weird noises when I move around and it sounds like it's saying "FLEE" or "RIDE."  It's scaring me and I can't sleep.

I'll write more later.  Although since I started this new job at this place I still can't blog about, I don't know what I'll blog about.  I guess I'll figure it out.
