hello loves

i'm going to write a longer, more substantial blog today or tomorrow BUT....my morning habit continues....i left you a voiceblog/voicememo/voicemessage/VocalLoveNote/blogcast/WHAT ARE WE CALLING THESE? Help...message. it's here:

https://soundcloud.com/amandapalmer/voiceblog-feb-11-2019/s-3G3i0

it's getting...more fun every time.

if you want to READ this voice ramble, lovingly transcribed by alex, along with the whole archive of transcribed voice rambles, CLICK HERE 

(again, you can download this if you need. i'll try the patreon embed RSS idea when i get home tomorrow).

this time i rambled on a littler longer than usual...it's about 16 minutes. i slept last night at my old friend kyle cassidy's house. now that i know i can just talk and ramble to you, i think of you. i wake up thinking about what i want to say to you. i've missed you this way...

i love this so much.

HERE ARE THE TWO THINGS I COULDN'T THINK OF:

1) WENDY Ice, not Emily Ice. that blog is here, it's the december 2018 Althing: https://www.patreon.com/posts/year-in-review-23512348

2) ASPIRATIONAL is the goddamned word i was looking for. i am an aspirational reader of the phantom tollbooth and dune and raymond carver.

3) here are some photos to go along with everything...

here's the 2006 eyebrow that's still on kyle's mirror:

here are some pictures of the room in kyle's house wher ei've slept 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 times? it's hard to know.

this painting...i have always loved, and she always keeps me company. its by christianne amato.

and he always keeps me company, too. i just fucking love that this room and the art hasb't changes since 2002. there used to be a kurt cobain poster in here. i wonder where he went.

and i know i said i was gonna go out and take some pictures of the snow but then kyle got up and made us tofu scramble and said

hey wanna go shoot some pictures in the snow

so we did

we're gonna post this up on socials today to bring awareness to everylibrary.org, which is, according to kyle, "like the ACLU of library rights...."

kyle is here: @kylecassidy on instagram/twitter 

and all this before 9:45 am

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY 

good morning

i love you

Just listened to the first few of these while making dinner as the snow comes down in VT. I really enjoy hearing your voice and your morning pages rambles. Somehow it makes the connection feel stronger.

Raymond Carver and Tess Gallagher were another great Art Couple. Tess Gallagher wrote one of my favorite poems, The Hug: <a href="https://goldenbridgeinmate39.wordpress.com/2012/05/20/the-hug-by-tess-gallagher/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://goldenbridgeinmate39.wordpress.com/2012/05/20/the-hug-by-tess-gallagher/</a>#respond . It's short and worth the read. It's 832pm on Tuesday. I'm reading this a day late, watching the log in the fire exploding sparks against the glass and wondering what's making it do that. The rest of the house is chilly. Your message is making me cry with the sound of Roswell meowing because my cat MaeWest did that before she died July 2017, when she was 20 yrs old and had been with me the whole time. You're also making me feel gratitude for the friends I have who I could call more often and should call more often. I am a crappy distance friend, like I lack object constancy sometimes. I need to pick the dear few who have stuck with me and call them because I am jealous of what you had with Anthony and there is no reason I can't make that happen. Thank you, as always, for the reminder. This is very strange because you don't know me at all, but I sort of think of you as my weird one-sided friend, and I really like hearing from you. the Voice Outs make it even better.

I listened to this while eating my muesli and staring out at an expectant dove on the empty bird feeder outside on my patio. This was after listening to the ride on NPR and your voice note last night before going to bed. And after waking up in the middle of the night suffering from anxiety about my job security as an academic in South Africa. It was a real relief to hear your very open truthful words and to know that the very fact that I was listening meant I was doing something real and true. I needed that feeling. It's great we can help each other this way.

Oh I am behind on life and reading / hearing these backwards. Very excited to hear the rest of the VM's.

I love your voice on my head while I check work email. I love the intimacy and the uneditedness of these Voice Diary entries. Enjoy all the time you save. Flow is the fuel of creativity, not the other way around.

I love the intimacy of your voice blogs. As I've explored crowdfunding and patronage, I've often wondered if the sense of connection can "scale" with the growth of the community. You continue to find ways to make that happen. I truly felt like I was in the room with you. You are always welcome to couch surf at my house in Portland, Oregon, by the way. And thanks from the bottom of my heart for the mention.

This one really got to me. I loved the detail about going to bed intending to read all the books and not getting to them. I've how vulnerable and open you are. These make me feel closer to you then before and like you are afriend, not just an artist I follow. It feels good to feel involved in something real. I'll take a break from catching up with these for now as they bring a lot of emotional work.

I kissed my mom's mirror years ago and wrote that I love her. She has alzheimer's and she talks about it every once in a while. Her maid knows to leave it there.
