(I have always wanted to get a performance artist/actor to be my “life coach”, I wonder if I could get a grant for that as a writer?)
So today I’ve decided to try to institute a nightly post routine with what I was going to call “still life” pics, but will now call “vignettes”! From my environment, day-to-day stuff. The first here is of a napkin that I unwittingly took and dropped in Joe’s Pub bathroom during Mx America, Justin Vivian Bond’s amazing show, the fuzziness approximating my confusion when I’d realized it was mine! With it I paired a shot from inside JVB’s dressing room because I liked her bags. Then there’s three from inside my apartment, which I’d describe, stylistically, as Almodovar meets PeeWee’s Playhouse meets broken down gin whore (for context).
Funny, taught Cezanne today and had my students listen to this hilariously melodramatic take (starts at 4:45) on how anxious and disliked and sexless he was by that consummately weird brit, Matthew Collings (who also says “‘You are the Raphael of water.’ Manet told him [Monet].

These posts will not be edited and fussed over either. Stupid stuff that comes out may stay out! Enjoy, and please, respond? Could ya? From the hits counter or whatever that thing is it seems like people come to janestown.net even though I’m the worst mayor ever. But I can’t help wondering if I’m the only citizen here…Ok, my head hurts, G’nite!
