Friday I'm getting old

I finished the first draft of a pilot today. Last night K and Adjmi and i wandered around the sculpture garden at night. Here are some visuals--none of these photos were taken by me though. Tonight there is talk of bowling. I'm reading 13 ways of looking at a novel by Jane Smiley. It's a cool book. Anyone else read this? She basically got stuck while writing a book and read 100 novels and then wrote about them and about novel writing in general. It's specific to the novel but much of what she says is relevant to all artforms.

Minneapolis has like the best radio station I have ever heard. I generally get annoyed with all radio pretty fast, but they play a good selection of good new and old stuff. Head over here to stream it: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/ It's called the Current. Up top on the right.

Minneapolis is beautiful

in the summertime. Yesterday K and I spent the day riding around on our new bikes all over town. There are bike trails everywhere in this so-called city. And lakes. A fuckload of beautiful lakes. Like this one. Later that night we went to a party thrown by a playwright couple. There is a sort of Jerome mafia here and my social calendar is already full by hanging out with the likes of these talented cool-ass individuals. Am trying to write something new and am trying not to think that I have to get a job soon. So far we moved in, had some fine minneapolis cuisine, including some great ice cream, saw one fringe show (a fine play by Trista Baldwin) and built some shelves for the living room. In Minneapolis the living is easy. (in the summer)
