which just about brings us up to date.
it's been a struggle to get through today, chronically wafty, vague and unfocused. trying to write a radio script, arrange storage, flights and get my head around packing up my life again - yes it might look glamorous and exciting (ok, so it is mostly) but there are moments when you just wish for a quiet, unventful, settled life. summoning the mental energy to take off again seems to be harder each time. especially with so much going on with projects in various stages, managing them and juggling proposals, acquittals, collaborations, budgts, let alone creative work, composition and writing. the latter has suffered most. but I realised while walking down abercrombie st on my way to disorientation tonight (yes very apt) that what I am trying to do is actually impossible. felt a lot better after that.
really enjoyed the evening, more strange and wonderful sound performances, lovely catching up with new friends from newcastle and just feeling more part of the sydney local scene, ironically. it always happens when you're about to leave a place - suddenly you realise how much fun there is to be had, everything is a little more vibrant and exciting - but new adventures beckon. and the bridge needs guarding. thinking will have to find a tailor in slovakia for the uniform - at the point now where things are dropping off the list, until the moment when if they haven't been done yet, they aren't going to happen. But as nick said during our champagne guzzle at the mca, at some point all you have to do is get on the plane. it bears repeating.
