Video feels like my dream

I haven't looked at my old family movies for about 8 years. All of a sudden I'm looking over them and picking out parts I want to use-and parts that I don't need. Since I am the oldest of 6 most of the time the camera is on my 2 youngest siblings- so most of the time I'm not in it.I have to watch lots to find where I am and if I want to use it. Now I started having dreams about the old movies. Mostly having parties in our old house. Some of the shots are really funny -and things I never think about anymore.I'm excited to see how the whole thing works out.

Last week was a great class-Having a visiting artist really made me think about different materials. All week I've been thinking of different media to use. And then after class to go to the talk that Silvia gave. Wow -what a thought provoking night. I thought I would go home and fall right asleep from all the "music primordial". Instead
I was up all night and ended up drawing and sketching till about 2 a.m.I was so stimulated and relaxed. Now if only I felt that way every day.
