Painting The Nakeds
I know that this isn't a quote blog or anything as stupid as that, but here's a song quote that I really like from Mr. Jim White -
"Dreams are just prayers without the put-on airs." from The Girl From Brownsville Texas
I gots to go to this building all the way on the under-the-bridge side of town for figure painting class. I hate riding my bike there. It takes a while, there are no safe bike lanes, and packing large canvases and palettes is clumsy. This is one of the very bad things about SCAD. With all the various disciplines split up all over town, one class might be five or thirty minutes away. I moved to Savannah knowing which building I would most be in - the Illustration one - and am conveniently close to that. But Alexander, and many other building that otherwise would be useful to me like the library, are pretty much out-of-bounds for me. This is the one and only class I will have taken in Alexander in my time at SCAD.
I do really like the bridge flying over it, although. The river is just behind the building and sometimes really large tankers park there. I keep meaning to kill lots of time crawling around with my camera back there. Also, there are the old pilings from the previous, smaller bridge that are still standing. I love that they span up into the air, supporting . . . nothing. There is something philosophical in that, but I wouldn't know what it is. It would be great to build or move a suburban-style house so that it perches on the piling in the air like those really tall bird houses. Do I have to draw it out for you? Yes. Future project logged.

maybe you need a bike trailer?

That would require money to purchase, when there are so many things I would actually like to own out there. It would be combersome to ride with on these tiny 18th century streets. And it would be stoolen in a heartbeat in this town.
Those are three reasons to not get a bike trailer at this juncture. If I ever go on a cross-country bike trip I will not only buy one, but I would also contact you, Arron, because you would have to come too. As it is, I will be moving in the early to mid part of 2006 and don't need more large crap to bring along. (These would all be valid arguements for not purchasing a new computer as well.)
