For My Weekend, A Hurricane


Weather Report 9-12-08, originally uploaded by Mr. Kimberly.

As I wrap up a long few weeks of work, my gift from the world is a huge storm bearing down on my fair city. Thanks.

Today I was deinstalling and recrating the photo exhibition that I (as well as a couple other people) spent installing the previous three days, and I know another Houston institution packing up their current show in preparation for the storm.

Hurricane Ike. You’re a big pain in the ass and you’d better be impressive for all the trouble you’re causing.

Hmmm… maybe not the best thing to wish for.

Distraction Enabling Devices: The Internet

Internet addiction sounds funny, but I feel I’m suffering a slight case of it.  Compulsive surfing at the expense of other activities like reading and writing.  An inability to stay focused on any sort of non-computer reading.  A strange avoidance of typing away at the fictional ideas that are always close at mind, instead returning to the ease of continual google searches about nothing of importance. Anxiousness at even writing about these feelings at all.

When I exert a little self-control, I fire up Freedom and give myself some net-free time.  Maybe a little TV watching will distract me from this uneasyness.  Oh, yes, that’s the stuff.
