Cockroaches freak me out. They are not only gross and full of disease, but the best way to combat them is to maintain an OCD level of cleanliness that is difficult for me to sustain. I am using other precautions (repellants, etc), but keeping a clean kitchen is the most difficult for me.
Then again, this might be what I need right now. A little patch of space to focus my awareness on. Something to pay attention to and be present with.
By the way, if you’re into comics or Zen (or both), I would recommend this podcast interview with John Porcellino. It’s good stuff.
MIX starts tomorrow at 9:00. You can find me at Table 5, next to Britt Hammerberg.
I will be going to the graphic novel signings at Big Brain tonight to pick up a signed copy of Will Dinski’s Fingerprints. I’m probably going to skip the MIX Kick Off Party, because I desperately need to prepare for MIX on Saturday.
Hope to see you on Saturday!
