oh man, i have the best idea for this...
but it would involve some polishing after the thirty minutes to really wow. hmm. cheating? not cheating? if i'm doing the actual writing DURING, is it still fair game if I edit after? DECISIONS
Someone, I'm blaming you if I've perminantely damaged my hand.
Ow
not entirely praxis worthy but i thought you'd get a kick outta it
May 8th, 2009: I woke up disoriented. the world was very different that day. shortly after breakfast i thought of this particular task to encapsulate my tumultuous insides and how they altered my surroundings.
haikus are simple

So I thought, "How would this go if more than one person wrote in the same place at the same time?" I hit up my CG0 posse for collaborators - of the five other people who originally signed up, only Inspector Hound actually met me at the ca...
The story of one rogue University Lecturer in the Middle East surreptitiously ensnaring her students in the art of tasking! That's right, I have absolute power over my students n' I'm gonna use that power to to get my task on! N' ain't nothin' tha...
Keeping in mind the whole "inversion" thing, I went to a place I should be visiting just about every day, but that I completely fail to visit more than once a month: my grandmother's house. Okay, so I didn't actually go and task in front of...
My 'day' job involves the dead, yes, but my 'night' job involves art students. Usually I go straight from one to the other, with just enough time to have a smoke and get a soda before I get nekkid. So I decided that I would do this in a public place ...
I took a ride on the 71 Bus. If anyone has any questions about SF specific things, please ask. Also, I broke a couple of rules here. I went over the thirty minutes, and I was on a moving location. I hope that isn't a problem. This was written from a...
Sitting out in the world. chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp. Rhythmic chirping sounds like a the squeaky wheel on a wheel barrow; the kind that always gets the grease. Why would there be wheel barrow around here? Avocado tree rustling leave, thump, th...
I decided to do this task at night, sitting on a wooden stool at the top of my drive. Looking out into the night. Yet again it seemed more like a bart task, more psychogeographical than artistsic... I rather imagine that most completions of this tas...
I completed this task back in December while on a trip to Big Bear Lake with a large group of friends and comrades from school. We had the misfortune of being a bit too early for snow, so the majority of the trip was spent indoors. Among the three ...
A journal entry. Written on the way from from the Suburban Legends show at The Rickshaw Stop on Monday. I've taken to writing in a journal as a kinda of therapeutic thing, stream of consciousness writing and what not, and this task just so happens to...
I decided to go to a place that would have people around that i could watch, but would also have an interesting look and feel to it. I'm sitting in the secret passageway. It is a small alleyway between two buildings that has been enclosed so visitor...
I got this task as an assignment when I was in 6th grade, and I knew that it would be close to impossible to do, so I did it at two in the morning on a little patch of grass at the edge of my neighborhood and there was very little going on, and still I couldn't write fast enough to keep up. I even made sure not to include any of my personal observations about what was going on, but rather just the facts ma'am. It was very informative. I learned a lot that night. A lot about the world, and about myself and about how I fit into the world around me. Good task, I encourage everybody to go do this.
