Daily pressures…Not so bad, really….

16/01/2008 Johnnyboy


Today is like any other day. There are pressures and obstacles to surmount, which, thanks to sobriety and the program I am working on (AA), I can. I have luxury problems…Too much reading and writing to do in one day mostly, but there are other things too.

My mother banged her shoulder against something in the night two days ago. We don’t know where or when, and of course she doesn’t remember, but thankfully there is nothing really wrong with her except for a little bruising and stiffness today. Yesterday there was pain, so we went to the ER for some pictures. Clean. That’s a relief. I don’t have the focus to be nursemaid this week.

I have a stack of books I need to read before January 29th and then February 7th. On the 29th my Modern Asian History class meets and I have a private tutorial with my Creative Non-Fiction prof just before…Loads of reading–9 books total., plus some writing. My US Civil War Residency begins in February, so I have to read another three books before then and write a short book review. On the upside, I have been granted a 4.0 on my Digital Photography CBE as well as my Historiography class. I have also finalized my Degree Plan and have about 8 classes to take before I graduate. I’m shooting for Christmas 2009…That’s about right, since I started school in the fall of 2005…4 years.

I also have a self-evaluation and a short photographer’s bio due for my Photo class at the end of the week. I think I’ll tackle those first today and get them done. This constitutes the very last smidgen of work leftover from the middle semester. When I have done that I’ll go to the gym and burn off 300-400 calories.

It’s a busy day, and all I’ve done so far is to post a new blog entry. I’ll add a picture for effect. I didn’t take this picture. I lent my camera to a guy who showed up for the first DocPho meeting and never came back. I have looked at his shots, and they are all pretty odd, if not boring, but I liked this one enough to fiddle around with b/w, contrasts, etc…It’s called ‘Charles’.

Another band thingy…

11/01/2008 Johnnyboy


Here’s another fake band. The Wiki entry was the whole thing minus ‘shoveling smoke. I took the pic from Picasa. I am having too much fun with this.

I am currently watching ‘House, M.D.’ which is fun…’The Wire-Season One’ which is addictive…and I have ‘MI-5-Season 5’ arriving in the mail today. NetFlix is jerking me around too much for the new releases of these shows, so I am buying them online. When I am finished with them I will donate them to the local library or give them away. It really depends on how married I am to them. I’ll probably keep ‘The Wire’.

I am slowly but surely finishing up the mid-fall semester. I go back to The Big City tomorrow for my final DocPhoWorkshop. This will be sad–I like the folks I have been learning and hanging with. I will miss them.

This afternoon I get to use a Christmas gift certificate at a local bookstore to gather reading material for my writing class–short fiction mostly.
