Happy Halloween!


For endless amusement, try carving your own pumpkin online. Maybe I’m partial, as Halloween has become my favorite holiday since I moved to New York. This will be my third year walking in the Halloween parade. I’m going for something like this, except, of course, dead. Just imagine you see a photo of Helena Bonham Carter from Sweeney Todd to the right, as it seems I’ve run out of storage space for photos on Blogger?!???

I’ll have to deal with that later. Today there is much to celebrate.

Note: I am not dead…

nor have I been quite as productive as I had imagined when I got the idea to take a blog break. My novel isn’t finished–but I’m really excited to have a complete draft. Now I just need to mold it into something coherent and staggeringly genius.

I’m almost finished with my application for a grant to research emerging artists in Hungary. Keep your fingers crossed on that front, and perhaps yours intrepidly will be corresponding from Budapest in a year’s time.
Also, I finally got to harvest my urban garden! The four tomatoes are scrawny and ugly. However, let me brag about my amazing hot peppers. My herbs are growing like weeds, and I can’t make enough mojitos to keep up with my mint plant.

Despite having been away almost a month, this is not the resumption of your regularly scheduled blog. I’ll be back in full force after a long Labor day weekend. And my god!, the art world is exploding with awesomeness at that time. I would need to take a vacation just to see it all (but I won’t : ). Jerry Saltz’s pick for the upcoming season here. Mine to come!
