The morning feels like it is already slipping away and I just sat down at my desk. This morning I was so full of good intentions too - the top of the list being, just write the damn thesis! But little things keep getting in the way, getting me sidetracked.
Tuesday/Wednesday of this week I attended an Arts Festival workshop, roughly on the area of internet/visual arts/web 2.0 - it was with one of my theory 'heroes' too - however I just didn't really get out of it what I was really hoping too (my only mistake...) So I think it has left me a litte apathetic about my own work. I always seem to be walking that line between super-optimism and the utter futileness of everything. No inbetween for me.

Last Sunday I caught up with a couple of high school friends - one I hadn't seen since 1995 maybe - a long time anyway. It was nice, we still got along really well and I hope to see her again. It can be difficult though - I often feel like I haven't really changed since then, "do you STILL like Morrissey?!!" - "Yes". It feels like that interview that Moz did with Pat Phoenix where she said something like (sorry don't have exact quote) - she still feels like rushing into the sea at midnight. I totally understand that sentiment. My passions/hates are maybe more balanced than when I was a teenager, but I still feel quite passionately, which my friends seem to have grown out of.

This weekend I have a trip to Market - a childrens market, which is good timing as both the little ones have their birthdays coming up. One will be 4 in only a few days! I think that is when I began this journal, when he was only a few days old. The other is nearly 8 and it is becoming increasingly more diffccult to keep her protected from the influences of other school children/peer group/school in general. But I do try.

Then we have a party for some close friends who are leaving for Canada (sob). However, it will provide me with an excellent reason to visit that part of the world - really hoping to see some snow sometime in my life.

Now, back to the real world.
