It’s been ages, I know! One of those dry patches when writing hasn’t done it for me. Excuses, of course, but it’s been a busy time with not much inclination for reflection, the whole reason for blogging. I’ve been inspired to write again by a wonderful 30th reunion last Saturday night and Sunday morning of
Continue reading ...Web 2.0 has arrived in the performance space. A current class of acting majors is working on a one-person show with me right now. They have devised, written, and are developing the first phase for public showing in a couple of weeks. The work is being collaborated on with me (Google Docs) and we meet
Continue reading ...Odd how it is when you get stuck into/obsessed by/even mildly interested in something, that you begin to see it everywhere. No, not coincidence at all, but a spreading of the trawling net a little wider and a sharpening of the eye as the catch is reeled in. No? Well, metaphors work for me. Since
Continue reading ...Oh the miracle of pencillin! A weird few days of exhaustion, discomfort, spots of lucidity where I managed to get some research and writing done, all interspersed with odd snatches of fever-dream like ‘movies in my mind.’ I don’t want another cup of chicken soup or honey and lemon tea EVER! Realised once again what

Continue reading ...A weekend outside that is glorious, and I’m stuck into report writing and continuing the bash together a conference paper, due Wednesday. Not much of this so far. Nothing like a little bit of pressure to bring out the procrastinator in me. What I have done is to sort photographs into smart albums (in iPhoto)
Continue reading ...Finally got going this afternoon on prepping a couple of conference papers on my experiments in “podagogy” and digital doodling. It was all very exciting finding that I actually had written so much in my blog over the last nearly 6 months, that it was a simple matter to do a cut and paste job
Continue reading ...Went early to bed with a head full of stuff and woke twice through the night processing, processing! Result was to get up early and get some of it (conference paper beta) down in a coherent fashion. No Sudoku this morning, but a productive couple of hours in the cool, pre-dawn air with good
Continue reading ...I’m entering into a new phase, or “workflow” of projects right now. Mad Forest is playing out its season this week, so I’m in the room assessing student progress and providing feedback via the group and individual blogs. They are going well. I’m getting some time at last to start writing again! This time, it’s
Continue reading ...Sunday again, and no blog post for a while. For a second or two the “l” word entered my head, and was just as quickly booted out with the guilt trip. ‘Lazy’ I haven’t been since the last post, though a casual follower of my blog would assume I might have been. Perhaps a day
