One project I have given myself for my second year of Transmedia is called, "documentation of bliss." This is an excerpt from my dossier:
A box. I start collecting--a piece of Eva’s hair, a napkin that she uses, anything ordinary and yet priceless. Sort of like stamp collecting or stalking a star. Treating the relationship that Eva and I have like it is something to be recorded or kept. The act of collecting leading the viewer to feel the immensity or overwhelmingness I have in my relationship. How unexpected it was and how special it continues to be.

I hope to collect a library of pictures or bits and pieces that represent us, and since I have a digital camera again...the collecting has officially started. This is not to say that we have not been collecting here and there all along--plane ticket stubs or restaurant receipts, coins from Las Vegas casinos or photos from picture booths. Just visit bracketland and it's pretty obvious that it's been taking place all along.

But now the documentation of bliss is an assignment and here are three:

I found these matches while looking for something to light the gas burner on the stove. Though I think they were the last two/one in the box, there was no way I was going to use it/them. Connected at their phosphrous head, they are simamise twins...if not twins, matches kissing.

After a night of wear, Eva hung our nighties on a hanger beneath our bed. For some reason they looked great together, like my my chin resting on her shoulder and us looking at each other in the bathroom mirror.

While making tacos for an afternoon snack, I looked down and saw our initials. The "A" made out of a chip clip and the "E" made out of a fork. It's not quite the same as carving our initials in a tree, but it was nice anyway.

As for traveling. If I don't post for a couple days, please note I will post entries upon my arrival.

IN THE NEWS:
United States Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday he is almost certain that terrorists will attack the United States again. "It's not a matter of if, but when," he said.
