Hello!
The cord to my laptop wore out and isn't working so I haven't been able to upload any of my new paintings, but I thought I'd give a little update of things I'm working on.

I agreed to two solo shows in June, one in Los Angeles and another in Northampton, Massachusetts. That's right, Northampton, Massachusetts. I never met anyone from Western Mass, and it wasn't until a few months ago that I could spell Massachusetts without looking it up, so yeah, it's going to be interesting. So if you're near Northampton, and you like my art, and you have some free time around June 10, then you should make your way there. I'll have a small show of about 90 or so paintings.

Right now I'm in the middle of a lot of painting and when my cord comes in the mail I look forward to scanning them and showing them to you.

Yeah, I discovered my cord was cut at around 6 in the morning after an all nighter, so I just decided I didn't need my laptop for a week. I was going to transfer a few word files to Marci's computer to work on, but then she woke up while I was asleep and tried using Indesign, so now my computer has no life. I could have gone to the apple store but a replacement is $88 after tax. They have Apple knockoffs for $33 but they heat up pretty hot, so I went for the $55 amazon new. I could have gotten it in 3 days but I opted not to pay $50 in shipping.

I guess that's the only disadvantage of having a laptop than having a desktop. I think I'll be okay. Marci's computer is really older. Like older than our relationship. I can't use the new Firefox cause the operating system is so old. I can't even use google doc, which is how I keep track of my paintings in spread sheets. But at least I have Netflix and a PS3. I've been watching a lot of random stuff. I was into Lockdown, and then Gangland. Gangland kind of sucks, cause it gets kind of repetitive. National Geographics is pretty sensational, and it's kind of annoying. It's like a step up from Hard Copy. Then I got into the Young Indiana Jones, which didn't age well and isn't as good as I remembered. There is a pretty awesome episode in the 2nd season involving Terry Jones from Monty Python and Wormtail from the Harry Potter films. Also another episode involving Christopher Lee and De Nomolos from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. I also watched some weird plant documentary from 1979 with music provided by Stevie Wonder.
