play misty for me

if i were to make a visual representation of my associational thinking right now, it might well look a little like lavender mist. my brain is v.v.v. cluttered. i am not sure quite what's up, but i am cranky, anxious, itchy, and distracted. i perked up and calmed down a little when i saw joan + liza for lunch and a walk through their new exhibition space. i got to hear about the latest book on artists studios. i wish i could work with or for them or at least be in their orbit every single day.

it was a joy to see these girls and to think about the art-making in the u.s. with the two of them. i am really excited for their show. here's what their new space looks like. joan sent me a picture of them working last week. (joan took the picture, dr. liza is in jeans and the intern cum oral history specialist is in the tahari skirt and ann taylor sweater set.) i am fairly sure that the interactive component in the space will not include scissors when it finally opens to the public.

i owe joan a public apology because as soon as we piled into the crowded elevator in victor, i started on how happy i am that her herpetic cold sores cleared up. that was, at one time, a funny joke. but not any more. i should have liquid hand soap pumped into my mouth like reese and riley's mama does to them now when they are naughty.

joan i am sorry. i will try my very best not to trot that joke out anymore and i promise too that i will spend less time running my potty mouth in your presence. and, you need to tell lord chris lord that i am fairly sure we never entered honore on the spread sheet of action verb names and i thought of it in the exhibit today but i kept that one thing to myself.

i miss seeing you guys and especially sorry that i cannot be present to make dog talk now. i miss jasmine. maybe that is why i am out of sorts?

j.b.w.: i walked quickly down our hallway, but it is simply not the same without our bad selves attempting to apply butt glue to the aeron chairs.

i laughed aloud twice yesterday once while listening to amy sedaris on the radio and once while falling asleep listening to stephen colbert interview bay buchanan.
