forecast for rain in galveston but 5 day forecasts are useless — i wouldn’t mind rain — to walk the beach in the rain — i fear the sun not the rain — i like the wind on the beach but not too much — enjoyment of storms — wind and rain

METAPHORS ON VISION — i like the book — it’s a good size — i wondered why make 2 copies — a facsimile & a ‘white’ copy — but it makes a good sized book and the juxtaposition of papers is good —

i need to clean up my ‘paperwork’ ‘studio’ today — and think — paperwork to be done

reading about brakhage filming 'sirius' i get tears in my eyes — there was no decay for our dogs —
desiccated ashes — phoebe rotted wrapped in my shirt that she loved — tears and hatred and love — love of things = hatred of god —

the passage of time doesn’t seem real — i started this notebook more than a month ago —

graph paper drawings —

<drawings on graph paper page 5ff>

it’s nearly 10 AM —
i’ll stop trying to keep track of time — the goal is to have things organized or ready to be organized before this weekend
then relax on the beach
then do what we can to get the house reorganized —

i want to be alone today — but won’t
i was alone for several days and wanted kim to be here —
me and the dogs —

AV — just work — put material together — long & short things — make a lot of fragments & see what comes {of / from / out of} them—

sound with & without video
video with & without sound

WATER — most of the sounds are abstract — wind and water — and can go anywhere —
try working with the voice & recognizable sounds —
