Drop Everything and Run
One Year Anniversary – The End of RunningWell, it’s been one year to the day since I stopped running. While not really a benchmark in and of itself, I thought I’d take the opportunity to update you on the project. If you’ve been following along, you’ve no doubt noticed that I haven’t yet presented anything from the ‘running’ phase – the project site only includes material from the ‘pre’ and ‘post’. Suffice to say that the realities of ‘post-running’ life (money) have required quite a bit of my attention this past year, leaving less than desired for art-making. Instead of rushing things along, I’m taking time to ensure the year+ of material gets proper attention. Pardon our dust.
In the meantime, enjoy a taste of things to come. This photograph was taken one year ago today – a gorgeous morning at Roden Crater.
Bated breath. (And yes, it’s that Roden Crater)

From Kirill Kuletski’s Speleotherapy series:
The therapy which takes place at Solotvyno is based on a method known as Speleotherapy, an alternative therapy for asthma and other respiratory diseases. This therapy was discovered in Poland in the 1950s when it was noticed that salt mine workers rarely suffered from tuberculosis. Scientists found that the salt-permeated air of the working salt mine helped to dissolve phlegm in the bronchial tubes and also killed the micro-organisms which caused infections – and that this greatly helped patients who were undertaking treatment for asthma.

Quote reblogged from The Porcupine School of Poetry with 21 notes
There are different species of laziness: Eastern and Western. The Eastern style is like the one practised in India. It consists of hanging out all day in the sun, doing nothing, avoiding any kind of work or useful activity, drinking cups of tea, listening to Hindi film music blaring on the radio, and gossiping with friends. Western laziness is quite different. It consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so there is no time at all to confront the real issues. This form of laziness lies in our failure to choose worthwhile applications for our energy.
Reblogging cool quotes on Tumblr and Facebook is a pretty good example of Western laziness. Pointing irony counts, too.
Guilty as charged.
Photo reblogged from WEST BANK SOCIAL CENTER with 12 notes
Come ghost hunting at the West Bank Social Center! This month’s rent party just happens to fall on All Hallows’ Eve, so we’re exploring the space and exposing its supernatural elements. We’ll also be presenting results from a smaller, all-night paranormal inquiry that took place last Saturday.
You can participate by swapping real-life ghost stories, practicing divination techniques, making ectoplasm, and snapping spirit photos with photographer Crystal Liepa.
And because hunting ghosts is hard work, there will also be music. Tunes from DJ Jonathan Ackerman and ritualistic dancing to commence at 11:30pm.
That’s next Saturday, October 31st, 9pm-2am at the WBSC. There will be a $5 cover at the door, costumes are not required.

The More Loving One by W.H. Auden
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.
Auden appears, unexpectedly.
