Holding Forth

 

The Wedding Teepee in Smarso

We had the final wedding celebration this last weekend (not this weekend).  It was great!  Hanging out in the woods, a treasure hunt, Grandpa burning a bench, Grandma bouncing along to Hank Williams, the stars, lanterns flying in the sky – so, so nice.  AND, we (Nora, Daniel, Kristin, Enrico, and I) got to sleep in a teepee!  Nora and I slept here one night alone as well – very cool.

Other than that, have you noticed that I pretty much only write here about being busy with vague things going on in my immediate realm?

I will list some not-so-vague engagements:

1. Attending classes at The Universitat der Kunste-Berlin with Siegfriend Zielinski, conducted in GERMAN.  He teaches at EGS as well which is where we made the association.  I weaseled my way in; no official attendence for me, but it is free and I have my own little room for studying.
2. Bringing the Nietzsche Circle’s (a philosophical scholarly online journal out of NYC) web design up to speed.  It still needs a lot of work.  If you want to submit a piece, let me know.
3. Starting the design for a financial advisor’s website.
4. Reading, reading, reading.  Current authors: Marshall McLuhan, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Friedrich Nietzsche (always), among others.
5. Teaching myself Illustrator and Flash.
6. Eternally looking for work.  I have an interview this week as someone’s personal assistant.  I really should give up – I have enough crap to do without a job.
7. Writing a thesis that has been languishing and starting a paper I would like to submit to a conference.
8. Attending German class for 15 hours a week.
9. Being a good house-husband.  Nora is the employed one at the moment so I do most of the cooking and cleaning.
10. I added a DONATION BUTTON to my website if you want to support this cause (ME!!).  Trust me, things are about to explode – get in on the ground floor and invest!!!  Even Warren E. Buffet, the Omaha Oracle, says so.
11. Nora and I are going somewhere soon, but that is currently a secret.  Give it a couple weeks.
12. Trying not to lose my mind.

My life in the moment.  Back to it.
