Rid of Me

It is 4:06 and i am in the office that i am currently temping at...disclaimer for my long absence...anywho, i have way too much to write about for this to possess any type of coherency so its going to be jumpy and scattered but hopefully interesting nonetheless. On the work front- I am working 2 jobs and am constantly exhausted leaving me little time for artistic expression, but I am more motivated than ever and focused on creating art in whatever shape it comes in...So at the night gig, there has been a**-fingering and eating by two "sopranos" looking dudes who couldn't manage to close the deal with this tranny- lets call her boxer lady since she dances like a boxer..meaning she is constantly jumping around and jabbing when she is not asking andom customers to try and score some blow for her..she is friends with the tall blonde one who is always sooo spaced out she trips walking out the front door...ran into my buddy and former castmate GLENN MARLA (is that what is considered name-dropping?- if you dont know who he is, google him, he is the darling of the downtown/billyburgh art scene). Great seeing him, we are meeting up soon so be on the look out for some interesting collaborations (yes, that is a shameless plug). going to check out the tania bruguera exhibit at the bronx museom of art this upcoming sunday. she tends to be grouped with ana mendieta alot. I think its cause she's cuban and some of her work deals with the inclusion of aspects of afro-disaporic cosmological practices. In order words, she puts a little santeria in her stuff :) or at least imagery an elements of it. That can be scary to the establishment, and than she's also cuban...I have to see more of her work before I can assess the the connection. I am sure there is an influence.

On another note, I seem to be really into reconnecting with music that I used to listen to in the past..Right now I am listening to PJ Harvey "Rid of Me". It is definitely hitting the spot right now, like a good steak or for you vegans- a nice piece of smoked or bbq'd tofu...Bueno, I have to run and do something other write this blog.
