The ever daunting process continues - seeking funding as an individual artist. How do people do it? I ask myself. How do you balance work work, art making, ship in bottle building, art marketing, nap taking, friend talking, art publicizing, porn viewing, bodily health, camel rearing, and basic survival in addition to applying for grants? The process is painful, but I must persist or else finally submit to a Burgerville managerial position. To span time more constructively, I have come up with a daily calendar. Here is my schedule for two a half weeks from tomorrow:

8am - wake up and allow myself to stare longingly out of the window for 10 minutes.

810 - spring out of bed onto cold floorboards, meander into the kitchen, boil tea

815 - sip tea and write wee letters to the grandparents and friends about all my sparkly non-accomplishments

830 - run around the park with a friend, tongues out

900 - strengthen abdominals while watching porn

910 - bend body into odd shapes

935 - shower quickly with soap pile

936 - dress quickly or not at all

938 - apply hair goo and lipgloss
