I continue to be a little distressed by our current arrangement. My boss told me 'love's not about the person, it's about timing.' As much as I wanted to argue this statement, I think there's some truth to it.
That being said, I have yet to resign from my post as V-devotee. (Man, writing that makes me feel really dumb and pathetic: this is good, since it is likely the only way I will get over him).
Today, post-semi-disastrous-presentation, I went to the FOFA gallery in the EV building. I was killing time waiting for Vnss for us to go to Mickey Dee's. As I'm walking down the hall towards the exist, I spot a familiar face in the crowd. I look for a split second before turning my head to the wall next to me (it had art on it). It's Nantucket! We hadn't spoken in real life since the first time we met. But then there was the recent facebook msg exchange and the vernissage invitation. Anyway, I'm too shy to initiate an interaction, so I keep walking along listening to my ipod. I'm cool with it, I'm just walking. He's walking towards me, then he stops, turns around, and walks next to me for one second before I notice he is. Then he taps me on the shoulder with his papers. I say 'Oh hi! How are you?' he says: good, you (or something). I'm thinking.. oh shit, what to say? what to say!!!? Then I say: 'I went to the plant thing' he says: oh yeah.. (discouraged) I say: "it was cool, but not as cool as the other one". He says: "well actually, I didn't like it, it didn't work". I say: "well.. I didn't notice". He says: "yeah (or soemthing).." I say: "so got any other projects?" Then he talks about the same thing in a square in Shanghai. He says it's sort of big. I say : "Shanghai, wow, cool". Then I feel my phone vibrating in my hand (I was waiting for Vnss's call). It rings once.. I'm about two seconds from awkardness. I look at my phone as he's saying something, I say: 'oh sorry, I really have to take this' he says: 'oh yeah cool, i've got a midterm' I say: 'oh ok, good luck' he says bye I say bye.
It was fun. He has a very calm demeanor. He speaks sort of slowly and thoughtfully. I was feeling pretty good about it. Then to top it off, I got to my film class a while later, and who sits next to me? None other than this other guy I noticed two years ago. I noticed him in my class, and last time at the CSA party. If he's at the next CSA party, I will try to talk to him.
I feel like being an artist and having an art show. I want to have a libraries and archives related art show. I was thinking it could be fun to go buy old school textbooks and pile them up. They would be interlocked into each other though, so it would be a bit of a balancing act. I also wouldn't mind doing something relating to letters, typography, numbers, formulas, systems of organization, and stuff like that. This idea is growing out of my previous mathy-art idea. I've come to the conclusion that although I know there is lots of beauty to be found there, it's just not something I can wrap my head around. And besides, I don't have any mathy boyfriends to help me, so...
It's gonna be for me!
Here's some nice pictures I found
Also, the more Dan Stefik talks about Antonioni, the more I'm convinced he's the best director of all time. Monica Vitti is my idol:
