Taking a break
June 17, 1998

Been an interesting couple of days...

Update: I ended up taking C.M. to the emergency room last night. The pain in his belly got to be intolerable. So far, it looks still doesn't seem to be too bad - he's on tagamet and antibiotics. He was sufficiently spaced on painkillers and sedatives when we got back four hours later. lol. Still not entirely sure what's going on - this doctor said it looks like some kind of infection. Ah...the glory of medical school.

I forgot to mention a painting I worked on last week for my sound, color and light class - it was red. For the next several weeks, we listen to a piece of music that corresponds to that color and, well, paint using that color plus black or white, if necessary. This week it's blue. Joy. The color I have the most trouble with. I suppose I'll just have to make friends with it.

Anyway, I took the red painting in for critique and...I got rave reviews! The only problem that was found with it was that it appeared that I thought about it too much. I didn't just let the painting happen - I had a lot of 'little things' added in and many, many layers. It still made a spectacular painting, if I must say so myself.

Damn, I've got the munchies. What am I trying to squelch? This has been going on all day.

The concept of this class is that sound, light and color affect us in different ways. Red is masculine, always moving and in my case, it brought out hidden (and not so hidden) anger. Blue on the other hand is feminine, is very slow or sometimes even unmoving like a still pond. It is the color of emotion. We'll see what it'll bring out in me. lol. I don't think I'll put the sounds on here - 1.) they lose something when one just sees them printed and, 2.) I don't really want to throw that kind of confusion out there. I can see it now: I'll get an e-mail saying, "I tried those sounds on your webpage and now you're going to get it! How dare you do this to me!"


Looking back on the past entries, I can see how I neglected to mention somethings. Perhaps at the time, I didn't have words for what I was feeling. Perhaps I wasn't aware of how I felt.

These last two weeks, I have felt like I've lost something - what I didn't know. I just knew that I was sad for something lost. It hit me about two days ago: I've passed the point of no return. My life will never be the same again. Since I've started journalizing consistantly again (starting back in March), I have been finding myself. The illusions and delusions are falling away - the act is ending. I have been mourning the death of the old me and walking into unknown territory.

Here's the question: should I go in as ambassador or calvary?
