Victorian Stage - Ideological Confrontation

Dreams 11/13

Stage theatre production in a Victorian building hosted by my friends.

Swordfight between two men in black robes and red vestments. Of eastern origin. It is an ideological confrontation, a difference in philosophy. One man is killed, my grandfather. Some significance of antlers and my disrespect: laughing at their assembly. Emergency flight tickets home for the funeral, but I miss it having read my email too late.

I must fight the last man and we brutalize each other, but do not kill. Nunchaku to bludgeon. Still, when the fight is over and the man leaves we say "Shalom" to each other and part not as enemies, still at odds.

So many dogs of all breeds and sizes running loose in the hayfields with cows. The dogs must come in, there is a rabid cow in the field. I call their names and bring all the dogs in the house. Fifteen or so. Cats come in too, as if all animals are responding to my call.

I lament missing my flight and I order a coffee at a bed and breakfast in New Hampshire (Vermont? It's always snowing or has snowed in my dreams of Vermont.) There is some trick to making this special brew of coffee and I chat with the barista and owner. She reminds me a bit of S. at the general store in N. Montpelier.

Cienz + Dezine

I'm still committed to the creative process. Presently I'm still taking lots of photos, but haven't done much sorting. I'm also ramping up my efforts on my master's thesis which looks at the dialogue between science and designers, and the tools/methodologies available for positively influencing the ecosystem of urban rivers. More to come on that I'm sure.

In other news MIDGARD is making headway! It's very exciting to sit behind the scenes in this design process and be able to contribute my two cents along the way. I only wish I wasn't in school for this, because I would be all over it otherwise. Right now I'm balancing sleep, meals, and writing. I'm proud of myself though. I'm taking little steps forward towards rekindling that creative fire.

New Post!

Okay, I've been struggling with life, depression, etc. And I really want a place to write again, and post creative stuff. I'm trying to consolidate my internet schizm'd personalities. I don't want to abandon that side of me which creates and shelve it away while I finish grad school. To that end, I am using this (I hope) as my blog space and not worrying about the rest. I can have links, and the rest can be archived for posterity. Or to check up on. I'd like to return from my internet hiatus. Too much internet soul-vacuum time.

To put it bluntly "Get up off your ass and create something." It's sound advice. I'm not at the Make Something Cool Everyday level, but it's something to work towards.
