I've been house bound ever since new year's eve, because it's been below freezing every day, and i don't give good freeze. i'm trying to stay in and stay warm and avoid catching a cold or flu if possible; considering that would not be so good for the tour. we begin a 7 night stint in zermatt starying wednesday... plus we have dates booked through to march. so i have to stay healthy. J & i went to an oriental food store, yesterday, which sells all kinds of good [and weird] stuff, like curry paste, tofu, fresh mushrooms, bean sprouts, and unusual vegetables, which is good for making 'hot as hell' soup- which is always good medicine against colds- especially if it's filled with a lot of fresh garlic, onions and red peppers [the holy trinity of louisiana cooking]
i wanted to go to the 2nd hand shops yesterday, but after doing some shopping, i didnt feel like it. i came in to take a nap and ended up sleeping about 4-5 hours! so maybe all this cold/flu paranoia is validated; my head feels fuzzy.
i haven't been posting many fotos; especially considering that every time i go out, or we go do a show, i make about 200+ fotos. i made a lot at the new years eve gig, but havent posted- and probably wont post- them. there were a few that could be edited in photoshop and might qualify as art- but then, they would be on my "foto-mondo" blog.
i began doing some collage a day or so ago, but havent really gone into the frenzy i need to. zermatt might be good for that. i will take about 1/2 the drag & cameras & computer crap i did last time, and instead take art supplies. it's good therapy; any of those will be on my "art, etc." blog.
