Works in progress have not progressed. Shamed.

In three weeks I set off on a week-long road trip that ends with me living in California. I'll know in a few days where, but Oakland is most likely the case. I have had no time for work, as I've been working like crazy at the day job. Finally slowing down, but what use is oil paint when it has to be dry so soon? In the meantime, I'm storing up ideas. I've been toying with the idea of some three-dimensional pieces in porcelain, but I have no access to such a studio, at least for now.

I still, as always, feel that a major flaw in the way I live my life is that different interests and aspects of my personality are categorized and separated from each other. I need to work on developing a greater integration between what I think about and what I do, as well as what I do during my on and off the clock times. I haven't figured out how to do that yet. But I think this move will be an opportunity for a great reorganization and refocusing on what I actually care about.

I wonder what that will turn out to be.
