late winter blues. oh my god. it is so bleak. bleak and cold and bleak and cold and really fucking bleak. actually. today was lower thirties and i swear that helped a lot. i still didn't go out much at all.

the i heart love show was a blast, tho. crazy crunch time right up to the end. long late hours while the family is tucked up in bed comfy cozy, where it makes you (meaning me) swear a lot at how much art sucks and what the hell am i (meaning anyone) doing anyways. which i know gil goes thru right before an art show, too. and then all of the unsettled feeling the day leading up to it and just thinking, how bad would it actually be if i bail now. i mean, all of the prep and food and wine buying and all the worrying about little bits of this and that and you just hope people show up. and then, they do and it's a good thing and people are psyched and then you're psyched and glad you did it and love art and expression. so it was really a success in all the ways i would define success. neither gil or i really focused to take many photos...but what we managed to snap, i posted at www.lovinganvil.com/valentine . wow alonzo mourning is wearing the biggest kick ass ring. just introduced mary k blige ...she's singing - really nice. chloe's asleep next to me on the couch and gil's sitting right here, too. raja's snoring on his doggie bed. so it is a really really nice evening. watching the nba all star thang. mellow and content. safe and sound.
ok. babble babble. tomorrow night friends are coming over for miso and saki. i'm totally looking forward to it.
