7/5

trying to decide whether I should keep my music equipment or just narrow myself down — I sill can’t get at the problem of actual production — of anything — I haven’t done anything artistic in months — years

the question is do I really want to
the question is can I
the question is should I bother


high noon in the Texas heat

thinking about yard design - fountains etc — can I work all these things into some art work
--------------
copied the 12/98 notes to the PageMaker file

deleted things after March from the first 1998 PM file — made some style changes but not sure what else has to be done

7/10

I need to focus on my notes and get into that endless cycle of whatever that I like

I could do yard diagrams etc art drawings — while sitting in the yard —

sitting in the yard — mind loses focus — the sound of the mockingbirds — leaves in the breeze — being able to sit outside nearly every day — my head is empty — floating thoughts — all the work that could be done and I have no ambition at all — if I had a computer out here would I do some drawing


my reading has been sporadic — reading the Delillo when I get a lunch break — not sure that I want to finish it — I’m growing really tired of ‘normal’ novels — I find the movement from character to character very annoying — a style device I really despise — a character is mentioned and then there is a chapter on that character

reading Irene’s Cunt — started Patterns but didn’t read much of it yet — still reading The Atlas as bedtime reading and nearly finished —
a few pages a night
cloud patterns in the breeze

jul 1999
these decisions — i could make sub paths that lead through them —
moving things from software to software


claris works to pagemaker to indesign
more than half crossed out and a lot deleted
books normal novels characters
labyrinth — the labyrinth is not being able to decide which way to turn — after some time it seems that there is no way out— that i’ll just keep turning corners forever — randomly or decisively doesn’t matter
I need to focus on my notes and get into that endless cycle of whatever that I like
