new kicks

i am such a shoe slut. seriously. i need help. but, until i get professional intervention, i will continue to indulge. these are the latest:


oiled suede doc martens long wings. ooh yeah.

and for those of you who don't know, i could wear a different pair of shoes everyday for 6 weeks without a repeat. someday i might actually do that...

the contextually conflicted post

this blog was never intended to by about me. i mean, it's about the art i make, mostly. and later this summer, it'll be about a fabulous road trip, and hopefully contain lots of photos of said road trip.

in the meantime, i haven't really been making much art. my life is such right now that i haven't figured out how to make time for it. mostly because i have been concentrating on my health. i have changed the way i eat. i have been seeing a chiropractor. i have been exercising. i have been being good to myself. so, it isn't for a pat on the back that i write about specifics. and it isn't about making this place a weight loss diary. but, it's what i am doing right now. and i am hoping that it somehow fits in with all the other stuff that i am concerned with when i look back at it later on. so it is in that context that i will mention that last week i pedaled about 100 miles. for the first time in...forever. and it felt really good. really good. and i hope to do the same this week. i have lost about 20 pounds in 40 days. it's a good start. but it's barely cracked the surface. i am down 5 1/2 inches around my middle. my legs feel good. my left leg feels. which is something. i hesitate to go into it too much more. but i really don't have anyplace else to document this.

and i am so bad at blogging. i am not about to start another.
