Brenda introduced me to Skunky, from the Black Lodge family, who is married to Kathy (old student). I voluntarily gave up a small room for Skunky to make bustles and things in. When Tiff talked me into letting her use our movie studio room while she wrote grants and things I knew I'd never see it again -- and that room was given to Billie, Halisa's mother. This other room might've gone to someone I don't care for, so I figured it would be best to let it go now for a purpose I find more to my liking. I gave up my artroom (had been built to my specifications, too) last year -- which was a hard thing for me -- because I wanted to do the thing that was spiritually best. This is similar. In my artroom today (I didn't get George because of it) there was some kind of fire... I didn't ask what kind as I'm too territorial to want to know. Tenaya left class early because of scheduling conflicts, so Halisa and I stopped working on pastel drawings and set up a store on the internet using a graphic she'd drawn and colored last school year.

The kids are upset that our movie studio is gone -- the main thing was the unchanging light and our ability to leave things in place. Oh, well.
