One day I will be in this country and it won't be raining or about to rain. Today is not that day.
While I'm still frustrated by many things, there were corn biscuits with jam and nutella for breakfast, and I made a hard-boiled egg for snacks later.
On the other hand, there is only one mirror in this entire flat, and despite that it only takes me a few minutes to be totally awesome, are you fucking kidding me? Not even full-length. Hello, whut?
So let's recap:
Transportation: I didn't get lost, but it took from 6pm EST when I left for the airport until 7pm here the next day to arrive. I GOT TO SYDNEY FASTER.
Communication: Well, other than I don't know the language and had to talk to an electrician who didn't know mine this morning, that seems relatively non-disastrous. On the other hand the Internet situation is nearly fatal as far as talking to the outside world and getting shit done....
Accommodation: Arguably, the Internet situation also goes here. Um, I have a bed? The stove works? I'm terrified of our refrigerator.
Hair: ONE FUCKING MIRROR, YOU PEOPLE.
I'm trying to sort of get to a place of being one with the ascetic/no social or city life here thing and how that's good for my art. I'd rather really be somewhere remote if it was going to feel like this though.
Dogboy & Justine loves you. 45 backers for $1,965 so far, meaning we're closing in on that 1/3 mark! Yay.
Tomorrow, keep an eye out for "Wicked Wednesdays" another weekly thing I'll be writing to promote the show. Because of the time difference it'll probably show up at an odd hour for folks in the Americas.
Apparently, a lack of women in the inner circles of the campaigns of the two main NYS candidates for governor has led to a testosterone-fueled race. I find myself annoyed by this articles opening (and perhaps all of, I can't get it to load, so y'all will have to tell me) thesis. Because if the campaigns just had more women they'd be nicer. How about, these guys are assholes and they don't seem to value diversity. The function of women in politics is not to calm the men down. It's to, like the men, compete to engage in the business of the state.
