I was told this today after work. They couldn’t find “space” for the performance. All this after the following exchange. (See… “Lack of motivation… ” post for part 1 of this exchange) how might the agency/school have done more? I guess I was at a loss M,…and you are right, my “thought juices” are a lot “tapped” right now… I am really proud of the students, and perhaps we can re-present their act at the …
I was just informed of this a few minutes ago. This is yet another “make us look good” gambit on the part of the agency. Suffice to say everyone around here is in the dark about it… and its only 2 days away! This is going to set in motion varying levels of chaos in an already chaotic arena. What does not allow them to put aside their hubris and just admit that they are …
I was a total slug on Saturday. It was as if my body just decided to lay down and not get up. I also was watching the coverage on JP II on the tube. I do have to admit that I was moved. He ( and the Dalai Lama ) are personal heros of mine. The first half of Sunday was no better. Although by the afternoon I got into gear and finished cleaning out… …
The bells tolled mournfully. JP II … have a good journey. He was a man of respect… one rightous dude.
The career fair at school today was quite the success. Kudos to Sam for making it happen. I know its been a long time dream of his. Us, the teaching staff were somewhat uninformed of the plan for the day but that is just par for the course. At least we got out early and thats always a plus. Was going to head home right after but detoured to Javawava instead. Needed to get caffinated …
The lack of motivation in class just befuddles me. They will sit there and pick their noses or stare into space with such conviction that one almost has to admire this strange celebration of the rut. Its as if all ambition has been burned out of them. Ran into Martha today. She showed me pictures of her trip to Mexico and gave me a running commentry as I flipped through them. She seemed to have …
So, I finally picked up the gumption to get the office cleaned. Its been a mess for a while and I wanted the festival stuff out! Out of here and into the trailer. Got most of it done and now there is actual SPACE to move around! Took me 2 full hours…. and I was multi-tasking! Watering the veges outside while I dove into boxes of crap. Of course I got obsessive about trying to …
The kids use this as their “kick-back” class. And I really don’t mind it as long as work is done. Its something that I feel is essential to the creative process. For many of them their work seems to be more developed than when they first began. For the rest of them… they are just marking time. Thats their choice. One cannot force creativity on anyone. My nose and ear is still bunged up. I …
Got back to work today after the spring break. I was hoping for a new attitude but as the day wore on … it all decended back into the same old hole of crap. I really need to get a new gig. Although this one affords me more than I could ever afford before… its killing me inside. Drove back yesterday from SF and was reminded how much I enjoy doing the long haul. There …
