magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

slept in (to the oh so late hour of nine o'clock). did a bit more work on organizing my studio space. i almost have a cubical. i've got a silver partition wall on one side (i found it that way, and just had to use it), and a half wall on the other that i'm paining fluorescent yellow. i think i'm going to have to get a new vinyl mat for my drafting table, leaving it in the back of my van all summer just made the wrinkles that it had even worse.

then my computer class that i didn't take last wintersession. this semester's focus is on the suburbs. i decided to focus on the off-ramp motel. i have to find a motel as an example, and make a compute model of it for next friday. a lot of work. but it should be a worthwhile course.

and my first shift in the reading room. where i've been for three hours. people have stopped in to use the computers and read their email, but not a whole lot of book reading going on. of course there aren't really a whole lot of books in the reading room yet.

i meant to go see dar williams tonight. really i did. but as so many things do during the school year, it completely slipped my mind until hours later when i was sitting at home and thinking about getting some sleep.

also, email from nikki about my comment about how she can make me feel a bit uncomfortable. she took it completely the wrong way, and was somewhat hurt by it. i would never say something on my site to intentionally hurt someone. if the facts about something hurt them, or if i don't use quite the right words and come across as being hurtful, i can't really help that, but i certainly didn't mean it.
