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:

I’m beyond excited to talk about what I’ve found, so hopefully this pans out and I actually receive what I’m expecting (ha!) – it would be the way of it for the package to get lost or something, so fingers crossed

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) ;^)
