tiny pieces of little arts

&  today i wore on my legs:  grey jeans, brown boots with silver snaps all the way up the sides, charcoal knee socks.

looking forward: to a restful moment, a nightgown, reading and writing some poems

& here's an inspiration for today:

c. has talked to me for a long time--at least five years--about wanting to make films.  one night, some weeks ago, he said i wanna make a movie of your hand moving slowly.

it was late.  i was tired.  i think i had just attended a holiday party for work or some such function.

i said. uh-huh.  yeah.  that's cool.

but he didn't drop it.  he got out his ipod and started making a movie that very moment.

so i said bring me the bottom drawer of my jewelery box.

so he dumped out some cheap-ass costume jewelery onto the bed, and, shooting using one cheap-ass light from ikea, made this little film.


it's kinda pretty.  a little bit beautiful every once in a while, i think, with its prepared piano sound-track, performed and recorded by c.

admittedly, i have a huge thing for prepared piano--listen to c's small daily moments with the prepared piano on his piano blog.

and it's a good

& nice reminder that you can make something in a relaxed, even lazy moment, a miniature gesture.

& that's all.  the artist is present for a second. nothing more, nothing less.

for me that's good enough,

& way better than nothing.

here it is:
