CHAFFINCHES

On to a different topic.

I was reading Everything Is Illuminated today and it made me laugh so hard. Usually, funny books just make you chuckle quietly in your head right? Not this one. I did a search of his name on Youtube and found this. He tries to be like the boy from his 2nd novel and find people in NYC whose last names are 'Black'.



She did it again. More clothes from Fairy! If I compiled a list of everything she's given me so far, it would be very long. I wonder how many things I'll accumulate from her by the end of the school year.

CROSS POLLINATION

I see no need to move

but what's this

warm

I went in and never came back

Leave me alone I was bored. It's fun to pretend light is something solid and tangible to play with.

The class I teach on Saturdays is really perking up. I want to take a picture of the room to show you guys.

Me: "... the kids think of so many different ways to play with two marbles... the toys I bought in at first really sucked, they didn't like it...this one boy loves my yoyo even though he doesn't have the muscle control to play with it... the girls were playing catch with the stuffed ghost I got from work...and they LOVE the crayons... "

Linda: "I thought this was a math class?"

Too true too true. I can get too caught up with trying to make it fun. But 5,6, and 7 year olds, learning an alternative type of math on a Saturday??? I feel bad for the tykes.

The weather was beautiful today. SO warm and sunny for early November in NY.

I've been feeling uninspired all day.

Today I saw a vlog entirely about a girl pulling a stocking over her face; "I've always wanted to do this" she says. Another of a girl Prancing around in her "fun, fierce, fashions". So let me get this straight. I need to dress like you because you can pair a peacoat with a shirt, jeans, and boots. UH HUH. And another one of a super skinny girl dancing for ... too long. Because I am just that into your body and your moves. You'd think I would've paused and left way before the halfway mark, but no, I kept watching because I couldn't believe this was really the whollllleeee video. It was hypnotizing.

At least animals are intelligent and pleasantly surprising!

(This was a desperate cry for help. Please recommend me people you like. You know, vloggers, bloggers.)

CELLULAR

The vlog that almost never was.

Remember Fairy? The woman I work with? She's given me more goodies. This time a bagful of dresses. I took these in like 10 minutes so no fun stylings. Just the dress itself. They all smell heavily of mothballs.

High waisted! 90's feel! Buttons in weird places and pockets aplenty!

Finished

Yes, last time it was Friday. I'm inconsistent.



Self Portrait Sunday

"I'm just ... fooling around, just making songs and experimenting. And I'm not so much thinking about what songs are going to be on there or what I'm going to do with the songs. I'm just going to be really free and not think about the outside world at all. I think that's the best way to make music if you're not thinking about anything other than just being absorbed by the creative process. So that's what I'm trying to do now is just listening to a lot of music and making a lot of music and just kind of immersing myself. I have enough songs now for one album, but I want to just keep writing, see if there's anything else pops up."

"It's kind of weird, the way I work, because everything is just done in the moment. I don't do any sort of planning beforehand. I just start experimenting and something will evolve out of that. I guess if you had a producer, the two of you together would just do the same thing. It could be fun. I'd have to be in a certain state of mind where I wouldn't feel like I had to perform for them. The thing I really like about recording and creating music is the process, where you shut off the rest of the world. It's a dream state of mind. All the ideas are coming, and you're caught up in the wave of creativity. It all depends on the chemistry between me and the other producer, as far as whether I could get to that place if there was somebody else in the room."

The people I admire are usually ones who can be by themselves for long periods of time. Someone who maybe from a young age was forced into the separate, lonesome world of feeling just too different and who grew to be able to use that state to express themselves in a genuine way.

The Internet can feel so spammy.

Now that a chunk of my life has broken off and drifted away, I really want to just

do the things I like and

want to do

and forget about the outside world.

That's all for tonight. Goodnight everyone! =)
