Already Opinionated About Futurism
Frankly, I think it’s a little silly.
Basically, this Marinetti cat seems to think that old stuff is no good; instead, we should care about things that represent the technological triumph of humanity over nature. You know, like youth and violence and the industrial city. Oh, and scorn for women (what that has to do with forward-thinking, I’ll never know).
So the Futurists...

50 Followers!
Yaay! Thanks so much to all you lovely people who find my blog interesting enough to show up on your dashboard. Since I don’t have a real theme and I don’t appeal to any specific group, I didn’t expect to get a lot of followers at all; 50 is a grand ol’ number.
In light of the fact that there is a sizable amount of people following me, then, would any of you...

Morgana Has a Boyfriend Again/Italian Futurist...
Oh my goodness, I’m in Maryland. And have been for a couple days now! Amazing. Train ride was far, far longer than it should have been, on account of the fact that there was a huge snowstorm along the east coast. But I got here!
Reunion with James was joyous, as I’m sure everyone expected. He is currently at work, and I remain here. I had been working on a stained glass...

I Have...Time?!
Somehow, I managed to get all my stuff more or less together, get dressed and ready, and…I still have quite a bit of time before I have to leave. What is this nonsense?
I guess I can give ya’ll the breakdown of Christmas spoils thus far.
Last night, I received a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card, a $25 Koenig’s gift card (art store), and $125 cash. Today, I got a new...

Is It Just Me, Or Does It Feel Remarkably...
Tomorrow’s Christmas Eve? Really?
Well in that case, I won’t have much of a chance to write anything new here for the next few days.
I’m still in the very arduous process of packing my life away (I know, I know - I’m taking forever). I’ve also started backing up my photos on to CDs. Looking through some of them makes me miss my shorter, insanely curly...

Janterm Housing Assignment: Received.
I’ll be in Dakin D104 for Janterm, moving into Prescott for the Spring.
I think, perhaps, this will be good.

Circus Aesthetics
My circus aesthetic is, I like to think, a reflection of a certain lifestyle once held by circus performers.
It’s dirty and a little morally suspect.
It’s the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, holes-in-the-soles-of-your-shoes feeling of grit and weird, unexpected familial ties.
It’s a group of strong individuals who, somehow, create a close-knit team, pulling through...

Too Excited to Pack - Blog Instead/Div III Talk
I’m still really thrilled about this job. Also about the fact that Cirque Mechanics is coming to UMass again in the spring. Their show “In a Birdhouse Factory” last year was spectacular, and now they have a new show and it makes me so happy.
I’ve also been meaning to post about my future Div III. As usual, I’ve been thinking and re-thinking it to a ridiculous...

A Job!
I…I have one! With The Performance Project! It’s an office job, but it sounds far, far more interesting than a normal office job. It’s a lot of outreach and networking and since I have some performance skills, I might be able to do workshops!
I AM SO EXCITED.

Phone Meeting.
I’m supposed to have this phone meeting at 9:00am, right? But the lady hasn’t called me…and it’s now quarter after. Am I expected to call her? But she took down my number….
So confused! I just hope I wasn’t supposed to call her, because that will possibly reflect poorly on me - and I’ve been up and ready for quite some time now, waiting by the...

If Anyone Wants To Give Me a Free Laptop...
…please, don’t hesitate.
Mine likes to shut itself off on me now.
So really. Think about it. Let me know.

I Have...a Lot of Masks.
I’m trying to decide what things need to come to school with me, and I’ve unearthed…most, if not all, of my masks.
There are…a lot of them.
For the purpose of this photo, I took a bunch of masks off my wall, as well. Of the 27 masks pictured here (holy hell), I have made 10, and I’m working on modifying that gas mask in the corner. Two masks were made for...

Sigh.
Today is one of those days where I don’t have anything specific planned, so all I can think about is how I’m living for twelve days from now, when I get to go to Maryland. I’ve been so patient for so long, it’s a small miracle to me that I’m not more crazy right now.
Once again, though, I think being in Italy taught me how to take things one day at a time - for...

Last Night, My Kisses Were Banked in Black...
Title from one of my less-favorite Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds songs. But, it gets the point across - I have black hair again!
Snow White’s back!

OH MY GOD, Y’ALL, THE DOCUMENTARY IS FINALLY UP! This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Special thanks: to my lovely stars, Jessica and Keena—I love you both for life; to Hannah and Ivana, the best co-producers a girl could ask for; to Re/Dress NYC and...

Really, I Should Write Here...
…instead of reblogging the whole world. I did say I wasn’t going to do that very much, but suddenly…there was so much to reblog!
Again, there isn’t a whole lot to tell these days. I just called this woman Julie from the Performance Project for the office position they have open, and we set up a phone meeting for next Monday. Eep! It’s at 9am, so I have to make...

I Always Seem To Be Cleaning This Room....
Seriously. Every time I’m back in CT, I need to clean the explosion that is my room, and then pack my life away. What’s up with that?
Hopefully, this will be the last major packing/cleaning ordeal for a while, at least. Despite the fact that I still have quite some time before I leave for Maryland, I’m really tempted to just pack that bag now. Realistically, that’d...

My Meeting With Thom
Sorry, guys. Unavoidable. =P
First of all, the meeting lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes. Amazing.
I have a lot of things to think about, as usual. Since Thom is going on sabbatical, I need to find a temporary chair replacement for the spring. That…is mildly terrifying to me, only because finding a committee in the first place was quite nerve-wracking indeed.
I told...

A Post In Which I Mostly Gush About Thom Haxo. ...
Goodness, but I’ve gotten bad about posting. In my defense, I don’t currently have my own laptop with me; I’m borrowing Zach’s. Mostly to read Fables. On which I have finally caught up. And issue 100 comes out today…which I probably won’t end up reading for quite some time yet. Alas.
Anyway! I spent a good chunk of my day yesterday reading comics,...
