break out of a rut

Instead of lazily taking the path of least resistance; I allowed myself to accept an invitation to a dance performance, and I’m also going to meet up with a friend whom I haven’t seen for a year. Ordinarily, I’d (sadly) rather curl up with a book, but I think I’ll enjoy being out and about more, in this case.

Taking a different route to walk to my art studio, I happened upon a live elephant performing in the middle of the street in DUMBO (down under Manhattan/Brooklyn overpass). To see an elephant so out of context in a gritty industrial (albeit hyper-gentrifying) area was really delightful, as was the energy of the enormous crowd of equally delighted people.

1) take different routes home from work everyday
2) eat grapefruit at night instead of only in the morning

Yeah, broke out of the not-doing art rut.

Finally!
