Just Too Much

Thank g this week is over....search committee, accrediation report, faculty meetings, classes, advising, and meetings and more meetings...just toooooooooooo much..........so I am basically really tired today--can see mt hood so that gives me some spiritual energy. three people were in touch with me from wyeast last week...that feels good that I have a beginning community there...playing with my iphone re new applications---watched two movies via netflix last night....sure happy I have that resource to get my mind off stuff....

Just Playing

Just Working on the Accrediation Report

Just too busy working on the accrediation benchmark II report; went to First Unitary Church today and heard the ex president of UU and Amensity International...one of the most significant sermons on justice I have ever heard...it was outstanding; went with l1. Watched the stars get their awards (Academy Awards) tonight at l1 house and had dinner over there...so sweet; just love them. Slumdog won almost everything. So just writing and more writing. Went for a nice long walk yesterday with o + c and their two cute dogs. My life will return to some "normal" after this report is sent in!

"Big Sue"-Read comment

The most expensive picture...see note following--"Big Sue"

From: ARtblog----Lucian Freud has become the most expensive living artist at auction with his "Big Sue" painting. The large naked woman painted on a couch is called "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping" and sold for $33.6m or £17.2m at Christies last week. The sitter is Sue Tilley and she sat for Freud over a four year period.I'm so glad that a painterly painter now holds the title of the most expensive living artist at auction. Big shiny hearts and pill cabinets might be interesting but how can they compare to a painting by a living master?! Of course I'm biased as I'm a painter too, but who isn't biased?The London based Russian oil billionaire Roman Abramovich is said to be the buyer of Lucian Freud's Big Sue and Francis Bacon's triptych (which sold for $86.3 million or £43 million)>> Lucian Freud News, Art Collecting, Art Auctions

MLK Day

A week------what a long time.  Working on an altered art project re my Portland activities to hang somewhere in my apartment. Finally made it to IKEA yesterday...what a place! Watching CNN re all the activities in DC. Since I am on Facebook now fun to see who else is on it and connecting with friends from my past...sent a message to cl who was a friend of rbh when I was in Phx in the mid 70's....about 35 years ago...my my...so Facebook is making us all connected or "we are all related"----the sun was out yesterday and today...can see Mt. Hood but very windy. We are praying for you President Elect Obama and your family. "Oh Obama is my Homie"--I have been looking for another place to live....sure love my view and the location so it will be hard if I do it..we will see; however...I was going to visit a person yesterday and see her home but I drove by her house and it is too far from where I do most of my stuff...but she contacted me later and said she has a movie group once a month at her house and she invited me to the next one..so I will be going there next Sat...so no new place but better a new friend from the lesbian community. A woman from UU invited me to early breakfast tomorrow to watch the inauguration at 7 am but I think I will be home and watch it from here. Very nice and UU is feeling like a community now. I have got to go do some work!
