2 Little Days

Two little days until my fashion show. Everything has come together very nicely. I'm actually not horridly nervous about it, Bu I have to get the Box painted tonight. I won't be able to work at all tomarrow because....SPIN5 at HCP is tomarrow. I go to work early and come back late. It will really be fun though..after the fashion show I"m off to Midland to take care of buisness...and then..poof Marfa for the weekend for the Marfa Lights Festival. I have been working atHarper's, a boutique in Old Town Spring, for extra cash in hopes of makeing it to France. That all happened because I got a nail in the tire of my bike, on my way to talk to Ramona about selling jewelry there. I also almost have all the paintings finished for Bradely Valentine's The Eyes of Olivia X. I"m trying to be calm, but I have to admit my head is spinning a little..no pun intended really. Oh yeah, I'm not funny.

Not the Brightest Crayon

So, today was my little cousin's birthday, and my second day interning at HCP.My aunt took off work to take Connor to the G.I. Joe Movie, so she dropped me off at the bus station to go into town to get to HCP. Easy right? Follow the yellow brickroad. Getting there was a snap. I had two hours to kill before I went in (still 15 minutes early), so I went to the Menil, the Twombly space ( I love the atmosohere in there) and, the Flavin instillation. The Flavin lights were so beautiful, they reflected poolsof rainbows on the floor.
So, at work (that I was still stupidly early for) Jason showed me how to resize images..The man must have the patience of Job! I got to see some very pretty things though. Also, Rachel gave me a brief orientation about a few programs as well...and the names of the galleries,which I find cute..Gallery X and Gallery Y especially. HCP is wonderful.
However, I totally screwed up the rest of my day.... and my aunt's...and my cousin's.
I was late getting to the bus downtown...so..I had to wait an extra 45 minutes...and then...brilliant me didn't bring my aunt's phone # with me. So, when I arrived at the station in Spring...I had no idea of contacting her...so, I decided to walk...a very long way...on I-45...which is just not safe...but did I think of this? NO! I made her worry something awful, so she hopped in the truck and went looking for me.....all of this could have been avoided If I would be more responsable and carry a cell phone. My Aunt sees the worst in people every day at her work (she works for a prison) I can't even imagine how she felt when I was 2 hours late.......I really need to use my head

First Day as an Intern at HCP

Yesterday was a crazy amazing day. I was late for my volunteer work at Lawndale, I'm never late, but I was Tuesday.When I got there I had the pleasure of helping Zachary with a tour of children most of which were about five. I got to help Adela install her show by putting together LED lights. It was amazing, while I was helping her she started talking about her work a bit. She's only been useing lights for about a year...but she smiled and said..people like light....It was cute.As I was about to leave, Zachary showed me a poster they had gotten from Chinati...the invitation for this years Open House.Everyone in the office wished me luck as I was about to leve for HCP...As Zachary was helping me get my bike out, he asked if I wanted the Chinati invitation...It was so nice!..... I then hopped on my silly bike and proceeded to leave........But as I was riding away, Dennis called after me...."Your bike is flat!" so I rode my flat bike to HCP...thinking I was horridly late, and of course I was 20 minutes early. Only me. Jason gave me a great overview of things..and...randomly had a pump to fix my tires! When I took my 30 minute break, I went to the park across from the Menil. I heard strange music comming from a tree no less....A guy was sitting up there playing Some Where Over the Rainbow....It was surreal....I got to spend the last hour or so unframming pieces in metal sectional frames....I loved my life yesterday
