2) creation, 3) community, 4) housekeeping

(this week) large effort to merge all files from Kelli's computer with mine as hers crashed and was replaced with a imac. over 270 gigabytes needing to be incorporated into my studio computer from external hard drive. recorded conversation with jones on phone of him beating his mother with extension cord in retribution for similar attacks during his childhood. missed the beginning of the story when his grandmother came to him in a dream and told him to do it. will need to prompt him to retell it so can record entire conversation soon. obvious decision to not renew outings with him as his schizophrenia remains severe - several more suicide attempts, personal relationship with jesus, constant stream of self-defining narrative, and theories on egyptian pyramids as sound resonators for the cosmos.
website updated again - www.timcoalman.com - having problems with hyperlinks and several work-arounds only somewhat successful. pleased with the newest version.
recorded an Ian dream.

DAILY ARTIFACT LOG - GOAL

My artifacts are not stillborn or arrested in early development so much by unresolved planning or structural defects but instead are slowly pinched off by small stoppers and momentum-less days. The creative effort not lost to hemorrhage but leached off by the routine everyday droplets. The late arriving echo audience hardly privy to the daily toil that piles the artifacts for a lifetime before their immediate awareness, appraisal, and acquisition. Deadlines aid the effort but are product-bound and necessarily presume an audience / patron / publisher / distributor / and such.
