Watcha week ago i moved to brattleboro for their 9-month pro-track circus training program. i can now say calmly that it took me about a week to feel settled in. maybe six days. but oh lord those first few days were overwhelming. i thought i’d never be unpacked. so i took photos in 30m intervals of unpacking work. it actually didn’t take nearly as many intervals as i’d anticipated,...

the long now
i was listening to a radio program today about this amazing mechanical clock project called “the long now.” it will be built in the nevada desert and will run for 10,000 years, using temperature change as an energy source (the hot sun will cause metal in it to expand in daytime and the cold night will cause it to contract). it will have a different chime for every single day in...

so, here’s a goal: make studio time each week for my non-acrobatic art forms. sewing or crocheting or zine-ing. all those things i collect materials for but make once a year or less: schedule a regular time in which i can work on a current project. stick to it like i stick to acro training times. it doesn’t have to be a lot but i have to plan it to make it happen.

costuming
i’m planning a halloween costume for the first time in many years. i won’t tell you what it is yet, but it’s going to involve making these spats:
