A dripping tap that I need to turn off.

I think it's about time for an update, don't you?
I feel like I've been busy, busy, busy... But I don't think I have been really. Uni stuff and what have you. Oh, and of course that love thing...

I've spent more time on the phone in the last month than I have in my entire life! I'm sure my bill is going to be absoloutely rediculous, but I'm not worrying about that right now. Besides, whatever it is, it's (he's, actually) worth it.

But because of that, my plan now is to move to Newcastle. Maybe as soon as within the month! I'm really excited about it! Not only will I get to actually see my partners face when I speak to him (which is reason enough on its own) but Newcastle is just a really cool place. Apparently, more artists per capita live there than anywhere else in Australia. So if you know me at all, it's easy to see why I'd dig it.

This means switching universities though. I'm kind of sad about that. I'm just beginning to really enjoy myself there. I was pretty resistant to the whole thing at first. But I embraced the change and am now discovering all sorts of wierd things about my practice.

For one thing, I've found that I enjoy mixing paint a whole lot more than actually applying it to things. Mixing is a joy; painting is work!

I've been making things out of crap I find laying around lately. Door mats, fly swats, spoons... It's all a lot of fun, but I don't know if I'd call it art. Whatever it is, it's all good (in a wankish post-modernist way).

Isn't post-modernism wanky? I think so anyway. By definition, it doesn't exist. Modern is now, post is after. So unless you come from the future... It just doesn't make any kind of sense.

But then, is time linear?

It's too late in my day to be philosophising. I think I might come back to that one later... But, if anyone out there can explain post-modernism to me in a way that I'll understand it, I'd apprieciate it.

I gotta go sleep.

If there's any spelling mistakes up there, just put it down to... bad spelling I supose. (and laziness)

'Night!
