Oh what a world we live in

Rufus Wainwright sang that, and I've gotta say- I feel you rufus, big time. What a world indeed... I'm not even sure what context I mean that in, but let's just say I mean it in several different ways, which is true. And we all like the truth.. or something along those lines. It really looks like having a job where I sit in front of a computer for hours is the way to keep me updating my blog! this has been like 3 weeks in a row, crazy. And once a week is probably good so I don't start whining too much. I feel like that's a recent development, like all at once last week I started complaining all the time, and I really hate to do that- so I've made a major effort to stop my groaning, even if people ask how I'm doing... the thing is- I don't think my life is that much harder than anyone else, far from it even- but I'm kind of in a bafflement because I think I must be really mismanaging my time or something- and I need to write everything I do down and then overhaul it- because it is seriously crazy... *that was dangerously close to whining, so I'll leave off*
Overall things have been going pretty well... this week was still pretty, and like spring always does, it seems like suddenly the snow has melted overnight, and there are all kinds of lawns and trees downtown that are making their presence known- not green yet, but the potential is there. Last night was Gallery walk, and so I first friday-ed all about the town... it's so nice to see people walking around everywhere, and I got to gallavant with johanna for the first time in a long time, which was a delight. There was good art as usual, and most especially I enjoyed seeing Rory's show, "Processim" at The Canvas.. Really awesome oil paintings, and I love the philosophy behind it, to look at the whole process rather than the finished product.. or put another way

"If both the keepers and the tossers were beautiful. If reducing the process to its result was not the acomplishment. If the entire creative process was the art instead of the art itself"

a little snippet there from the program/artist statement/whatever for the show- anway, definitely worth checking out- the green one and "The jester" were my fav-o-rites. What a talented little guy.
Johanna and I joined forces with Levi and Corin and went and checked out KTOO after that- a nice time, nice walking around weather yesterday.. there were some cool photos there, on the capital transit bus, and out the windows of the bus... that stuck my fancy, as I've always been enchanted with the blue lights during the night rides, and am a regular rider myself from time to time- OH! there was also another exhibit at KTOO of bear pictures that were too adorable, and quality as well. So to sum it up, before the exhibits are over, go check out KTOO, as well as The Canvas. After first friday I stuck myself like a bur or a seed that needed to travel into the long flowing locks of mr. fiehler, and went and saw TOMMY again. And no, that totally does not make 8 times, in case you're wondering...... it makes half that. Ha. It was a really good show- I thought the band was particularly rocking, and that deaf, dumb, and blind kid truly did play a mean pinball. Miss Rachel Landon, who portrayed Mrs. Walker really impressed last night, but she's always a great part of the show. As I sit here selling ticket after ticket, I warn you Juneau, see this show, or regret it all your days! (as you will if you miss any perseverance show, because they're all good) (except for the ones that aren't) (but they've been all good for so many in a row now, you've gotta catch them all, like pokemon back in the 90s)
Well Gee whiz, this post is just full of plugs, but I only recomend what I really like- so do listen.
anyway, I had a headache last night, and I did also have nearly half a bottle of wine, but I had a shower, ibpfofin, and half a vicodin this morning, and this headache seriously will not leave me alone... Zounds. I think I'm going to keep enjoying this "champagne of mangos" mango that I got in my box this week, and read the seagull for my last hour of work... a break and then more work elsewhere tonight... maybe a party in the valley... or maybe a face full of pillow if the headache doesn't stop. Until then....
