Day Two too to

The best part is, there really isn't going to be any beating myself up over this. I decided when I got the book that it's totally fine if I skip a day or two.
So, it wont always be continuous. But I'll try, for your sakes.


(The "experience logs" in the back of the book are just blank lines to take notes, so I wont scan them)

  • Wednesday aprx 2:14 pm April 15th 2009, driving home from school
  • hadn't done taxes yet
  • afraid I would forget
  • found pen, using photographic placement memory
  • wrote TAX on back of left hand
  • wrote FIN FAFSA TRANS BANK too
  • wrote laundry dandelion run meds on inside palm
  • ink smelled of stale chemicals, hand smelled like soil and pesticides
  • considered the sensation of "touch" and how nonconsiderable it is
  • wondered if the words would stay on long enough to remind me
  • wondered if you could invent an erasable pen for your hand that wouldn't wash off
  • considered liability of such invention
  • wondered why McDonalds was sued, and not the inventor of coffee
  • Wrote "do not erase!" on back of hand
  • end time, aprx 2:27pm

The best book of my art life



I cannot plug this book enough. It is awesome. It is a piece in itself. Keri Smith, writer of "Wreck This Journal" and "The Guerrilla Art Kit". (Hadn't read either, yet).
I wish I could send one to everyone I know. But I'm still waiting on my stimulus check, so I'm going to i ll e ga lly (sound it out) copy it for you. Some parts. With my scanner. So, it won't be beautiful, visually. PS: this is SO nik, am I wrong?


Day One:
  1. It's blue and metal with four legs.
  2. It has one of those foot rest things. SO nice.
  3. Who the hell engineered this? Did they have a degree?
  4. Where did it come from? Where was it made, sold?
  5. Wow, some really great welding.
  6. How was the color picked? Like slate blue. It matches nothing.
  7. What is the point of me having a folding chair here, I never fold it.
  8. Two basic shapes, thin rectangles and long narrow cylinders.
  9. Cool to the touch. Kinda almost clammy.
  10. If I were an inch worm, it'd take a while to climb up and over it.

the coolest thing is coming

tomorrow
