Remember when you were a kid and you were told that if you couldn’t think of anything nice to say you shouldn’t say anything at all…
Forecast for tomorrow: 50% chance of surly in the morning with scattered niceness throughout the day.

k-k. I have absolutely nothing of much interest rattling around in either hemisphere tonight save for an old commercial from my childhood circling around like a buzzard in my brain. Maybe a few of you will recognize it:

Having a “day job” – even one linked to the arts – is a deterrent and a distraction. I yearn for the day when I can focus all of my work energy into my art career. That day seems w-a-a-a-y off in the distance and my yearning is not patient.

For someone who is naturally inclined (either by nurture or nature) to see the glass as half empty, it can be an ongoing struggle to re-frame your position to view the glass as half full.

Out of necessity (a combination of being unable to find a decent stylist for my hair type and having an emaciated wallet) I have been cutting my own hair for several years.

Seems like everyone’s goal in life is to “get ahead” – I’m no exception. Instead of achieving this on a task by task basis (i.e. complete school, then form familial unit, then forward career, then pay down mortgage) I’m going for it all concurrently. The ultimate multi-task.

Emily Carr Institute’s recent “upgrade” to university status – and concomitant name change – is the fourth identity morph for the school since I began my journey towards BFA accreditation in 1992.

So…I have this brilliant plan to force myself to write at least a little bit every day: create a blog category and officially announce that I will be adding to it daily. How could I destroy the expectations of the 10’s of readers that regularly visit my site by not living up to my obligation of a daily post? What could be better motivation than than?
Oh…have I mentioned that my mother was raised Catholic?
PS – this counts as today’s post.
Oh sweet tragedy! Someone (or someTHING) has peeled ScooterHead, crumpled him into a ball and left him to decompose in an unkempt patch of grass. Hooligans. Vultures. Murderers.
Everyone’s a critic.

Last summer, we started walking Elvis through the commercial industrial neighbourhood that we live on the fringe of. The area encompasses roughly 35 square blocks: from 2nd Ave to Broadway, bookended by Main and Cambie Streets. This relatively small area is a veritable breeding ground for some amazing contemporary graffiti.
Check out the ‘Graffiti In My Neighbourhood‘ link in the blog sidebar to see what treasures we’ve been finding on our strolls.
Well I missed me! Where did I go the last 3 months you might ask?

The onset of winter always makes me feel mean and sluggish.
I find myself thinking about hibernation.
A lot.
