Liverpudlians, come for an origami workshop at the TAO Antique Shop. 6pm. 102 Seel Street - The Living Gallery and TAO HQ. Click the URL below to see a map. I will probably start with a classic fish, move to the ubiquitous crane, and if you are up for it, we can go for the blow-up frog. Free origami paper, or bring your own. I will also give a brief discussion on how origami meets NASA engineering, zen understandings of organism cell division, and of course, relate the entire thing to ‘new media arts’. Be there or be square [folded into a water bomb base]

October dawned as a surprise. I was walking across MacDougal and there in the middle of the street was a perfectly placed maple leaf, reddened by the falling season. Until that moment I had been living not only in summer, but in August. In the street, a sign. The leaf had blown solely south a block. There were no others. Autumn. From that point on the days got colder. The very next day it seemed the pathways in the park will filled with the clutter of those who had not escaped. Looking back I should have picked up that one leaf.

My schedule is beginning to settle into constant requirements. I don’t know as I will ever be ahead, the steady level of productivity is at once a burden and the best it could possibly be. As ever I have taken on a mountain and in the coming weeks I will continue to climb, we all know you can’t fall off a mountain.

This week was especially good as I was hired on the spot at Rugby, which is a small branch of Ralph Lauren. The best way I can describe it is modern distressed preppy. Whereas A&F was a casual luxury, Rugby is luxury casual. I probably won’t be rocking the Bow tie to work, but I could. The greatest part of this opportunity is that I now can walk the five blocks to work. I start next week, so it is too early to presume.

That same day I was further enlightened by finding $80 on the sidewalk.

I have realized that setting up a wiki is not the best idea ever. Since I set that up, I felt kind of divided between there and here. This is truely effecting my documentary abilities(hah) overall.
