Notes from Yesterday

Notes from yesterday...

NOV 22, 2005

Today spent all day at home, following an early morning sick-spell. [read:
sudden and unexpected vomit] Today is Tuesday, tomorrow the last day before
Thanksgiving.

We will once again spend our Thanksgiving as a family, quiet? Just the four
of us in Tucson. This year we've resolved to take the kids out for dinner.
Partly, I believe, to avoid cooking and cleaning all day, and thus avoid the
reminder of our distance from the rest of the family. We see how this plays out.

 

Spent most of Today catching up on correspondance missed on Tuesday. Trying to wrap my head around the problem of getting started on another project. A video based, process-oriented problem. I'm starting with two basic materials sources. First, the F.F Coppolla film, "Apacolypse Now," and the second being all the emotionally mixed media currents of our international role in the war on terror... as it is sold to us, as individuals and as participants in American culture. I'm not so interested in the questions of why, or how we fight wars... but in how we might take a fresh look at the constant barrage of violence imagery, the flood of media saturated violence as partiotism. The first step in my project is to remove all but the explosive scenes in A.N.
