project projections and presents

I was chugging along with some research project or other when I came up against a snag – an intriguing and engrossing snag, but a snag nonetheless. all will be revealed in time, but for now: I went down a whirlwind of tangents and historical documentation just to find one single clip of one single location, but I believe I have finally located its origin, after much frustration and hair-pulling… and, this super sweet guy I know may have helped me procure a copy of said materials, which may or may not have involved a fierce bidding war – and may in fact be on its way here just in time for my birthday…!!!? if I had to put how I feel into words, it’d be something like this:

old project, new resolve

recently, while digging through the convoluted, gnarled (and frankly, precarious) organizational system I call my computer to find an image to explain some tangent or other, I stumbled on the scattered remains of a project that I started several years ago which never came to fruition. later, while brushing the dust off and checking out what was there, I felt quite fond of the work I had done – so I’ve decided to try my hand at it again! I can’t say when I’ll have anything to show for it – restarting something where you left off before often leaves you with a lot of effort wasted just trying to understand your own shorthand – but I’m hoping to have the beginnings of this new (old) long-form project out sometime soon!!

I’m excited to be working on it again, but I know how foolish posts like this are. so, you can either picture me behind the scenes as quietly diligent, or – in the event that the project comes to nothing again – boisterously overconfident (as below) ;^)
