Strange how this photoblog has seamlessly weaved its way beyond anything I thought, anything I expected. Now it has become a recepticle for this, my thing, I am doing, in need of doing.

Wednesday I dreamed I was home in Toronto, I saw people waiting in a line, at a bank waiting to donate money. But I was then I wasn’t in the line. A close friend of mine and I walked away and figured out a different need existed. Then the dream gets fuzzy, then her and I part ways having figure out our own way of donating to the catastrophe in South Asia.

A few moments ago, I updated Photopia with an art outstallation I created earlier this year in Toronto. . I ain’t sure how to word the caption. I’ll improve it later, hopefully.

I am leaning towards wordpress over postnuke to run the Global Vigil site…perhaps I will leave it as is and have people keep emailing globalvigil@gmail.com which I just set up to let me know of their local vigils…

It is just 11 pm Pacific here in California. I miss Toronto. I miss my activist friends in person. Oh God-Alone willing I hope this works out, for the honest sincere reasons and not some self-serving crap.

I now have much less time than I did this morning, and I have yet to do the heavy lifting of indymedia-ing, Press Releases, figuring out how to blogroll this…Gonna be an intense 96 hours.

I need a quick break, stay away from the ‘puter, recollect myself.
then it’s all Let’s go…

UPDATE: The GlobalVigil site has been live now since the early morning. I’m emailing, but not enough, getting a trickle of emails back… I gotta work smarter with the remaining time, Sunday afternoon will arrive faster that I can imagine…I feel a satisfaction that maybe just maybe, this ‘Global Vigil’ will take on a life of its own and well…back to work.

I’ve had sitting on my hard drive three recordings of Gabriel performing in quicktime format. They were taken the same time the accompanying photo was taken.

I debated how exactly to include his music onto photopia, and finally decided on embedding a looping 7 second record within the photo’s caption. I feel satisfied now. Something was missing as I first uploaded Gabriel’s photo. Having stretched myself to stretch my photoblog with audio and video, I feel satisfied nothing more is missing from photopia’s last entry for 2004.
