You wanted a picture, right?

More...
Some other things I don't want to forget about:
-More sincere in my actions (it helps to do a bit of thinking before I speak and act).
-Figuring out ways to connect with family and friends I don't see very often. Again, in a sincere way. Why waste time with empty gestures?
Speeding Motorcycle
On Sunday, Pam and I went to see Speeding Motorcycle, a musical at Zach Scott. The songs and concepts are Daniel Johnston's - there is even an appearance by Jeremiah the Frog. I had a nice time. The atmosphere was very fun and touching, just like his music.
So, I think that makes four cultural events for me this year so far:
-Avant Cinema at the Film Society featuring the work of filmmaker Scott Stark.
-It is Fine! Everything is Fine. Slide show and film screening featuring Crispin Hellion Glover narrating his slide show and doing a Q&A following the movie.
-Lichtenstein exhibit at the Austin Museum of Art.
-Speeding Motorcycle at Zach Scott.
I guess five if you count the local documentary I went to see with the filmmakers, but I don't feel like counting that one.
And in the coming months:
-March 7 - 15, SXSW Film Festival. Passes went on sale on February 9th! I hope I can still get mine, I'll be going tomorrow.
-March 12 - 16, SXSW Music Festival. I will be entering the drawing to get a discounted wristband, and if I win the lottery, I will definitely go. However, if my name is not drawn, I would have to pay the full price, and I may not go. But there are several people I would like to see.
-April 5, Xiu Xiu. Thank you, Jesus! Great birthday present.
-Mid-April, Carmen.
-June, Die Fledermaus. Actually, I don't know if I can handle this retelling - it's "Austintacious" with cowboys and tech millionaires.
I just read Women As Lovers and it broke my heart.
Along with a few coworkers, I will be making lunch for some families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in early March. I am trying to work with the UT Volunteer Corps and volunteer at sessions to help kids and parents fill out FAFSA paperwork and learn about college. I will be helping out at Expanding Your Horizons on March 29. I am going to the Art Show fundraiser meeting next week for Choices for Children, and it looks like I will be the volunteer coordinator for an annual fundraiser for a local theater group.
I voted today.
I've also been working on some music for the accordian and other art projects. Maybe one day I will finish one I am brave enough to share. That would be nice.
I will post pictures of my new apartment soon.
I did a lot of thinking last year and decided there was a lot in my life I wanted to do differently. It appears I am heading in the right direction.

I almost forgot
Pandy Bear and I are getting separate apartments. It remains to be determined how we will split up our foursome, but it seems that P Bear really really wants Mr. F. Yikes. It may be me and the bun. Anyway, P Bear doesn't hate me anymore. I really wanted this, and we're not breaking up. just some sssssssssssppppppppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pumpkin Soup
I made some.
I'm on the couch with my feet up to try and kick this swelling in its ass. Maybe it will be gone by Tuesday morning. Limit the salt, increase the tea.
The pumpkin soup is pretty good, but one cup of o.j. is too much - it's overpowering the pumpkin. I put some in a mug. I just spilled a little on my chest, on the skin, and in wiping it off, flicked it onto my laptop. Ooops.
Perhaps something else interesting to report later.
Lunch: Pumpkin soup.
Brownie.
Strawberry ice cream.

So gross!
In the picture above, you can see the brown-ness our blue couch has acquired over time. So gross! I guess at least it matches the pillows.
Why do I feel like I'm running out of time?
No accordian playing, no piano playing.
So little cooking last week - but hopefully remedied in the next.
No running last week, either. What looked like injury may be illness (again with the swelling and weakness, ah!). Blood drawn, blood pressure high!, cultures taken, results in the next few days. Maybe viral?
More rental shopping, no house purchasing. But I am confused about him...
So little music, filmmaking, writing and cooking. Oh Well.
Here is a picture of Stuart:
Look how long his nails were! We do a much better job trimming them now. That is good for his health.

xylophone!
I think it is a very good sign that almost half the images for xylophone in google images are of children playing rainbows.
