day 0 of winter break

Had my final review; it went pretty well, but I still had a feeling of disappointment at the end. Who knows why ? Maybe because the leadup to the review wasn't painful enough ? Because I hadn't been working like a fiend in the last week, staying up all hours of the night ?

My own decisions after seeing the work: stop directly referencing other people's work (like John Cage, Proust, and Jabes) not enough room for me in that space.

Stop talking about minimalism. What is my work about ? Good question.

Drove down to New York for B's birthday. He turned 27. We went to The Manhattan Inn. It was ok, but the food took a long time.
