sparx' status Plotting my next act... or should I say plodding. Earworms, past & present: "Till the Wheels Fall Off", "Promises and Rain", "Baby Let's Go," "This Too Shall Pass"

Currently...

... Making newspapers - Leavenworth Echo and Cashmere Valley Record (Note that I only do the graphics and ads for the website. Someone else does the news side and the overall design of the sites is "rented". I mostly do the print side.)

... Drumming up more freelance business. Drop me a line if you have a graphic or publishing project you'd like to talk about.

... Doing ink and watercolors. Digital collages.

... Crocheting - getting really good at hats. :) Working on a poncho now. By the time I get it done the temp should be 95 degrees.

Finished the poncho on the hottest day of the year. ;>)

... Diddling with Flash. later...

... wikipedia visual arts articles. - got tired of the haggling and vandalism.

... Reading

• Naked Lunch by William S. Borroughs - I never read this back when, so I thought I'd read it now. Not too far into it. The junkie trip might get tiresome. We'll see.
• Growing a Business - someone Hawken of Smith & Hawken - yep. still reading a bit at a time.
• Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. Just started it, but I loved The Name of the Rose and hope this novel is just as interesting. I'm still interesting in reading this, but not right now.
• time to find another book to read.

... Recently read

• When the Light Goes by Larry McMurtry.
• Telegraph Days by Larry McMurtry.
• Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War by Joe Bageant. How is it the working class supports the very people who undermine their lives, and why to they shun those who profess to improve their conditions? Bageant explores the questions.
• Disraeli by André Maurois

Someone said...

In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism and skepticism and humbug and we shall want to live more musically.
     — Vincent Van Gogh

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
     — Martin Luther King, Jr, April 4, 1967

"Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without planting the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
     — Frederick Douglass (1857)
