*Work going great. The project which i took the lead on climaxed on Friday. Everything went according to plan and the kids thoroughly loved every second of it. Now planning my next project having realised that I have effectively free reign up here. I love my job, i really do.

*had a chilled weekend with J- mostly slobbed about in underwear, eating, drinking and smoking. I'm happy we sorted ourselves out, we really are very good together.

*did yardening- been very excited about having a yarden. did weeding, tidying and planted some bulbs (faux orchids). Now planning on getting some pots, plants and getting my mother to return my space-age bbq.

*watched a few great films. the most notable being Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Farbeit for me to compare my sedatory existence to a hollywood movie, but if anyone wanted to know what goes on between me an J and the nature of how we relate to each other, then that's the film to watch. Quite uncanny really.
But don't watch it for that reason, watch it because i say it's a great film.

* started some sketches for new series of paintings. Not sure what i'm trying to get across just yet, it's just a feeling, but I feel fired up for the first time in a while. Very aware of spring springing into life. Sketch books, camera and warped sense of reality at the ready...

*now i'm back at work, and i'm shopping. I've got a (seriously mah00sive) budget to spend and i intend to spend it all on toys, gagets and stuff.

*course and heading as standing orders.

*that, as they say, is all. As you were.

The Scatter Cushion technique: "Crazy...

...in all the wrong and right ways I suppose.
At the end of the day, and through it all, I actually like that, it holds my emotional attention for so many different reasons. I think i'm beginning to get that *it* really is mutual too.
And if you find a good wave to ride in on, you should ride it...yeah?

So if I wake early enough in the morning, i'm going to force myself to start a new project. Probably a painting. Havn't done anything for a bit (as previously mentioned) and feeling the sap of spring begin to rise is egging me on to get off my lazy ass. More importantly I need something to sell, season is about to start and I need to suppliment my pathetic (but gratefully recieved) income with some pocket money. Which reminds me, I must fill out *that* form in the morning too.

I may try to blog my process. For my own sake rather than yours'. Whoever you are. [smiles shyly and waves uncertainly]

Work has taken on a new flavour too, much more encourgement to 'take the lead' in projects and the program. Which is all good and not unexpected, I am however slightly concerned i'll drop the ball/fall at the first hurdle/[insert relevant insecurity metaphor here] and/or make an ass of myself, but only way to find out is to get it on I guess. I can be quite competent when I need to be...sometimes.

Hmm.

I'm having a deja-vu thing as I type this, so i'll just add; "more power to the engines". Which is now the correct response to such sensations of coincidence, serendipity, luck, synchronicity, time travel and reality inversions.
