Today is a weird ass day… I keep doing that thing you’re supposed to do in lucid dreams where you look at everything twice, to tell if I’m awake or not. Man, people in the hospital, (everyone is fine now as far as I know) sudden revelations, breakfast tacos, madness.
Yesterday, I lost my voice. I said to Reaghan: “I took a shot of Tom Waits,” because when I could talk, that’s who I sounded like. This morning, eating my taco, I heard in my head his reading of Bukowski’s poem “Nirvana”: “Not much chance. Completely cut loose from purpose…” Oh the ipod of the mind.
Anyway, here are some entirely unrelated photos:

I’ve been volunteering at the Scissortail social space the last couple weeks, helping out with their bike shop- it’s all pay as you can/free. If you’re having bike problems, come by wednesday after 2, and I’ll be glad to help. I mean, look at that truing stand. 
They also have a decent-sized lending library, lots of good books that I have a feeling are hard to find in the MLS libraries. So come hang out, have some coffee (if we have any) and fix yo’ bike. It’s just south of the corner of 30th and walker, right here, next to the AA Food Mart.

I’ve been working from the OKC CoCo for the last month or so now, and it’s a really great environment. I mean, not to sound like an advertisement. The concept of it is solid, though. Mostly, it’s getting work done, but there are all these really smart people around, also working, to bounce ideas off of and build relationships with. Most places I go it’s very hard to talk about my day job, the things I have to bitch about don’t even make sense to people who haven’t struggled with what turns out to be a missing } 300 lines up for hours. Anyway, yeah: 

Full disclosure: I get my membership in exchange for shooting events for the CoCo.
