I am here at Krishna's attempting to upload the second half of the people pictures from the 2008 Walk. Unfortunately there are some technical difficulties and I will have to try again another day.

I've been singing in the choir at 4th U Church on the west side which, if you know me you know, is kind of a feat because I am not especially gifted in this arena. This lack of training/talent is heightened by the fact that pretty much everyone else seems to be fantastically talented. Luckily, everyone there is also very nice and good at teaching and tolerating the less musical. I wish I was saying this to be modest. Krishna lent me a book called Music Theory for Idiots. This book has actually helped, causing no less than three epiphanies so far.

The church is also hosting a production of the Vagina Monologues (April 4th). This has pretty amazing as far as church experiences go. It prompted me to go to the library and check out the book.

I have started to practice typing/writing by typing one 11pt page every morning (or almost every morning). This has been good. I've also taken up belly dancing.

Last night Charlie Rose had a guy from Amazon Books on talking about Kindel (sp?) paperless reading devices. This guy looked very much like Tom Beach if Tom Beach had gone partially bald and gotten a very conservative hair style. Apparently, Amazon or his branch of the business is buying up land in Texas and building spaceships.

Snow! Great big fluffy hunks of it were falling as I walked around the cemetary, down 4th and Flatbush to the Dekalb st.

Last night I went to a good talk called Eutopia Now at the Center for Worker Education (25 Broadway right next to the Bull). Michael Sorkin spoke in amusing tones about zoning, soy plastics,new urban vehicals, Santa Monica, Far rockaway, 600 Miles of waterfront, artificial islands, better ones (bedouins?), photovoltaics, parks, and showed some great images. I rode down in the elevator with him and Greg Williams, the president of the CCNY, but couldn't think of anything witty to say.

Here is a list of terms that I had to look up:

Prolix
Levon?
Malthusian
Berman
Arverne
Arendt
Buzz Passwell
Bio-remediation

I have loads of pictures from the walk, but can't up-load them here at the library.

walking the d-line

Yesterday I started working on the first step of the NYC History Timeline Large Scale Sculpture. After talking about the idea to Holly at the Urban Center at CCNY, I was convinced that a good way to start would be to walk the length of the proposed site, the D-train.



This is a photo documented performance art piece. This month (December 2008) I will walk the length of the D-lineover the course of several days. In this way I hope to:

a) get a feel for the landscape of the city

b) make some contacts with people who live in communities surrounding the D-line.

So far, I have walked from Coney Island to 55th Street Station near Sunset Park.

The library doesn't seem to want me to upload these images here today, so I'll have to try again elsewhere.
