I bought an agenda this year and it is ridiculously positive and complimentary. I usually buy a very sober black Moleskin agenda, however this year I felt compelled to buy one that has “YOU’RE KILLING IT!!” violently written across the cover. For the month of May it has what looks like a handwritten note penned into a corner that reads  “you’re more exciting than the final round of a game show.”

Well if you say so, mass-produced agenda.

I was reading an interview with the photographer Cindy Sherman this week. She said that she places objects in her way to remind her of particular projects that she is planning to work on. Projects she is putting off. I liked this idea and decided that it wouldn’t take very much (considering the space of my room) to have an object intrusively remind me of its very conspicuous presence. So finally, I got some wood (Ha!).

Pine to be exact. I have no idea what I will turn it into, but I am eager to finally use my jig saw (!!)

I am really getting into Duchamp. I don’t know if someone else has said this, but he is absolutely the original punk artist (or maybe, what do I know??)

Chris, Craig, and Lauren had their birthday party this week. Rachel and Leo came out for the first time in while (particularly after having a baby) and I got to geek out about my new Brazilian records. There was a palpable feeling of mutual excitement. I’ve put the most prog-rock Os Mutantes song on my playlist this week. I fucking love it but would like to state/request this for the record: please shoot me if I start listening to Jethro Tull.
