Am I Still Doing This?
I've been finding that life has started moving so quickly that somehow my time for postcards is getting whisked away. But I will not let it stop me. I'm only a month behind. Well, hopefully, this weekend will be a good time to catch up - Matthew is going to williamstown without me (boo! fie!) to play a gig, catch up with his last graduating class of international students, contribute to a board meeting and assist the new photographer for the campus photo shoot on monday. This sure makes him seem like a man of the world, doesn't it? I plan to stay home, clean my office, repot my plants and paint paint paint draw draw draw. Luckily, cable is supposed to be disconnected by then, so I will have no excuse for distraction (stupid abc family channel made-for-tv movies!).
Perhaps due to the mania at home, I've seen a dramatic decline in quality of drawings. Or, maybe it's me seeing things. I have gone back to my trusty gouaches in the name of speed, but maybe this weekend I'll get to do some more experimenting with my new Dr. Martin'ses and figure out how they really work. I suppose it's a little presumptuous to think that I can figure it out in one weekend (and clean my office, and repot the plants, and paint paint paint draw draw draw) but what the heck. For the moment, I am feeling energetic and productive. Why not humor myself?
(The various images of frustrated computer guy on one end of the line and confounded non-computer person on the other end were inspired by my conversations with the tech guy at my hosting company Nexcess- he was so awesomely helpful that I made him a card (you have to be awesomely helpful in order for me to make you a card). Now that it is scanned, finally, I can send it off to him. Thank you, Greg Swaney. You rock.)

ooh. How embarrassing. I suppose I should refrain from using people's full names, just to keep this sort of thing from happening. Well, Greg, you just wait. After a frantic search, I found your postcard, fully addressed but sans stamps, at the bottom of my purse. You will have it, soon enough!
