Tuesday. Listening to Democracy Now about the BP oil spill and the dangerous dispersants in the water and air that will most likely shorten workers lives who work on clean up.
Reading My Guantanamo Diary c 2008, by Mahvish Ruksana Khan. Horrifying that so many people were kidnapped and sent to Gitmo because there was a phenomenal bounty (up to 5 million dollars!) for Taliban and al-Quaida members." Average people in America, and Afghanistan would have to work for 83 years to make that kind of money."

It's difficult to make art in the light of this sorrow in the world. Yet my teacher from grad school would say, "Make art, not war".
Why isn't this country working hard to free our dependence on foreign oil? Why aren't we pushing to use green bio diesel (see Hero BX) and save the planet?( See "Fuel"c 2010 a dvd that I just took out of the library).

Well, it is back to making a dvd that will loop my full images and display on an LCD TV screen. I've tried the 1080p as the height but it still didn't work so well. I will keep experimenting. Another hot day outside. The building repair at a halt for now. How can I have my work reviewed by museums? Is entering competitions the way? I resent / struggle paying the submission fees.
