Updatey post.

Flying ahead on "End of the world porject"- Dennis and I (and Cara and Nao, other collaborator buddies) threw around the term "endoftheworldologists" for the hybrid activity of thinking about both religious and scientific thought on the big nada. Great conversations, snippets of which you can catch here http://subjectsofchange.blogspot.com/

Oakland project, both reviewing old and writing new.

Might get started today arranging music for a solo EP I want to do in February. Too bad I'm too broke to get my piano tuned, 'cus he needs it.

Stalling on submissions to Absent. Can't pick Oakland stuff, don't want to look at thesis stuff. maybe I'll just copy the whole file pathway I create searching through shit onto a simple text document and submit that- self-referential poetry submission

Need to find a studio to set up drums and play. Really tempted to do that in my apartment, but that would be really mean to the people living below me.

Finally, funneling a lot of creative energy into writing assignments for students. Kind of bad in how it drains from other work, but also feeling pretty good about it, on a purely phenomenological level- I like doing it. Is it a sin to like your job when you're trying to be "an artist"?
