"breathe, breathe, breathe deeply"
17 years ago
Well... where to begin.
Just went to the Bernini exhibit at the Getty with my brother and two dear friends. It was more-so a delightful medley of Baroque sculpture, not just Bernini's work. Also got to see The Vexed Man Messerschmidt bust. Fucking beautiful. The piece was titled after the artist's death, so no one knows for sure what emotion he was trying to convey. Oh!
ArseMaus and his lady were there too. Good times.
Ah, on to why i've been a bit more present lately.
I'm basically on a witches brew of meds that somehow make it possible for me to function and enjoy life to a certain degree. I've been able to get out more and actually produce a little artwork. After months of being strangled by depression and fear, i'm out and about again, but keeping things in perspective. Praying that this isn't just temporary, like past instances of expensive medical trial & error. I'm at the point where... my eye problems are getting worse regardless, so i might as well do my best to work around it.
Only problem's the excessive sleep and weight loss. Like..... scary weight loss. Ten pounds in less than two months, and i was lanky to begin with. I blame the lexapro for that much. & thanks to klonopin, i've never slept so deeply or extensively. A fucking plane could crash in front of my house and i wouldn't even shift.
Onward... here's my sweltering summer in a nutshell --
hiked up and over the hollywood hill/mountain, from forest lawn all the way down into hollywood (took all day). Went cliff diving on the solstice. Went backpacking. Briefly stayed with a friend in santa cruz. Promptly thereafter flew to NY. Went to connecticut briefly. Flew back. Got a new bike. Drove back out to santa cruz on a whim. Found a fern cave! Stopped by SF briefly. Drove back home.
I think that's about it.
Sooooo yeah, expect a little artwork and some pictures soon.
& that really sucks about the whole art theft thing, though i'm still a bit confused. All i know for sure is that there are a whole lot of shitty people in the world and not nearly enough cool ones.
That aside, I hope you folks are all doing well.

And glad you're feeling better, in spirit if not body ^_^ Hopefully you continue to convalesce, dude.
Thanks. I hope so too :]
Thank you so much for the well wishes. I sure need them... more than ever (:
I hope your eyes improve, man.
I was on Sexapro for a while- now I am on Loloft- THAT stuff is great for eating more (which I need to)
I'm trying to just eat as much as i can at the right times of day & exorcize more.
i don't think withering away in bed is healthy by any means.
Take care.
