When I saw Mabel and JJ sitting together, I grabbed the camera since it is a rare occasion. They like each other, but usually they patrol opposite ends of the loft.
The purging exercise continues. I am going through everything I own and paring back. Last night was my warranty and instruction manual file. I was able to throw a number of papers away of things that Goodwill now owns.
At work, I am compiling and organizing a gazillion photos, videos, newspaper and magazine articles of Renan. It is so odd that a white woman from Kansas would be in possession of the largest collection of things related to a huge Latino celebrity. I started pulling all of this stuff together when I started working with Renan in 2002. At that time, I asked for a copy of his bio and discovered that it was out dated and very little else existed.
I took it upon myself at that time to start writing about every project he did. Slowly, I found publications about him. I also searched for photos of him in addition to ones I took. I also pushed hard for him to get new publicity photos.
Yesterday, I was cleaning out Andres' old office and discovered an entire drawer of old videos including many of the commercials he has made. With my new (wonderful) computer, I will be able to create CDs and DVDs.
With my projects at home and at work, it is obvious I am in my "let's get organized" phase.
