08/16/2003 Entry: "early start Saturday"

Used to be that sleeping in late on weekends was what I lived for. These days, I seem to be waking up even earlier Saturday morning than I do during the week. Although I've frittered away a good part of the mornig by dawdling over an extra cup of coffee and slowly coming alive, I haven't been a total slug yet. There are three emulsion transfers drying, made using the leftover positives from earlier Polaroid image transfers, samples of plastic art bags have been ordered from Impact Images to see how well they'll work for display of some smaller works, and I'm trying to get motivated enough to brave the heat, humidity and crowds at Home Depot for the supplies I need to start on a UV light source.

Don't get the idea that I'm bursting with energy. It's one of those hot sticky days when the slightest movement wears you out, where a cool bath and a nap in front of the air conditioner are more likely futures than anything resembling productivity. I may have to force myself to move, though. The weekend is too short for all I want to get done. The light's lousy for any photo adventures outside but the Daylab's set up and I've got one pack of 669 film left. There are prints to mount and mat, bills to pay, housework and plenty of other chores.

Damn, but that nap sounds good, though.
