Fire

Well I finally have an internet connection! It feels like rubbing two sticks together and getting fire. Yeah, been in the stone age lately. Labor day weekend was productive and got much done. Also, got to hang with my friend Christine, had some good bagels from Esa, met her cousins' cool cats, especially Boney the cat from Uganda, and had some pizza near Tompkin's Square Park. "The Dauntless" (my PMac G5) went back in for service joining my Al Book at the 5th avenue store yesterday. That was fun lugging that box back on the subway, even though it was empty. I had my first class today. It was awesome. It's taught by the chair of my department Red Burns. Basically she brings in a speaker every week and every week two groups of 5 present a response on the previous weeks speaker in the first half of the class. Today's speaker, totally shocked me, Vito Acconci. Never could have imagined he'd be a speaker, awesome. He's done a lot of things over the years but lets just say performance art from the 70's in which he masturbates. Now he's an architect. Great speaker. Downside, met my group members and well the dynamic will be interesting lets say. Anyways it's really late here. I just wanted to get a post up. Pics will come soon maybe on the weekend hopefully. Lates.
