1000 of these should be here Friday, in time for the last registration drive. Part of me is ever the skeptic: this is the 3rd business I’ve started, I must be doing something wrong. This is what my heart is in, so maybe it will be a keeper.
The graphic makes sense if you know the system I’m using. The 4 mustard colored squares are the 4 problem solving styles. They align with the 8 stages (the narrow vertical colored squares) of the problem solving system, in some cases bridging stages. The aqua is just because I didn’t know what the hell else to do and white seemed bleak.
*edit* the site is up. Or at least the site marker page.

We’re down to 3 weeks until Raleigh’s first creative conference. We are all pretty much bald. Because all of us have full time jobs on top of planning a major event that has not only workshops and everything that goes into making them happen, but also helping coordinate the peripheral events. Like a fashion show. And bands. And restaurants. And other creative people who want to play with us as part of the event. Read the rest of this entry »

In my notes there was a conversation I wrote down because it was too hilarious to lose:
me: Lil, you can take your anti-nervous classes while I take my anti-worry classes.
larry (listening in): are they at the same time as my anti-paranoia classes?

^ this is a funny site. I was flipping through my notes from training in Toronto and thought, I should send these to this guy/gal. Like this one, which was inspired by anopther student who would. not. shut. UP during class, which I found highly annoying. So I decided the more one blabs, the smaller their brain:
Another student decided that the taller the person the smaller the brain. I don’t think either is terribly accurate, but hey. Shits & giggles.

We were going to get tickets for yesterday’s Carolina Rollergirls bout, but it was sold out. Sold out! For roller derby! Who would’ve ever guessed that in 2006 this crazyness would make a comeback? Not me!
There is always Sept 16 and Nov 19, and season awards are going out this Saturday at the Berkeley. I’m not sure there is a more perfect combination of entertainment in this world: roller derby, beer, and blues.

When I stopped blogging for awhile, it was because I felt obligated to write. I was tired because I wasn’t writing for myself. My heart wasn’t in it. It is again, now. I’m not sure why I stray from my instincts - everything I do is steered by them, and comes from my heart and mind. That’s what is appealing about the things I do and make and write about. They’re genuine. Putting it out there takes courage. It may not be the most organized or focused, but it takes practice and is a form of meditation in a way. And I always need some quieting in my skull - it’s a never ending party in there!
Bumble has never been an A-list blog. It’s just a place to dump my thoughts and make room in my head for more thinking. I was doing a disservice by not having my heart in it - nothing’s worth doing if it doesn’t come from there. Even if it’s chopping wood and carrying water.

It’s been a long time since I saw a movie that stuck with me and altered my mood after leaving the theatre. Very well done film - it gives the audience credit for having a brain and a sense of humor. This is one we’ll add to the permanent library. Along with The Station Agent.
