8:15pm, Charles Street and W 39th Street, Baltimore, MD

How did I get here? I walked north on Charles until something excited me. For this site, it was the concrete wall with short, squat columns and the amount of light being thrown on the wall without being directly beneath a fixture. My allergies have hit hard. I am not feeling 100% at all. As I was walking, I kept thinking about being loose with my body. I wonder if that was achieved tonight. This site is also quiet. Sometimes I want and need a little privacy with these dances. Further thoughts on how to process this accumulation of documentation: Create videos for each month using a short clip from each day. Wait to trace the photos until the project is over (365 days). Sometimes I wonder if I will continue to dance everyday, regardless of filming... My quads had a few things to say tonight. Been thinking about my gym time and how productive dancing is. Do I switch out mobility exercises with dancing periodically? I'm crunching on several thoughts about life too... this project challenges my sense of self when it comes to creative priorities. how can I commit to this and not to regular studio time? I'm devolving now. Day sixty-five.
