I do strength training with a personal trainer 3-4 times a week. Almost every time I’m a few minutes late and I always inform him that I’ll be late. He says I’m so traditionally late that I don’t even need to mention it. I guess the same applies to my weekly updates.

• I was in the studio twice last week (including today) working on my new sculpture. Today was one of those days where I made negative progress :(
• We watched Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. I was hoping for a scary movie but it was only disgusting. Where are those really scary movies?
• I started reading The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe. It’s been a while since I started reading a new fantasy series.
• Last Wednesday we held a memorial for the death anniversary of the great Turkish poet, Nazım Hikmet Ran. It was a day of poems and songs. Many people read his poems I know, but there was one poem I’ve never heard of where Nazım (Turkish) walked over Berkeley and his idealism.
