So, here I was plan­ning to spend the even­ing work­ing and then I made the mis­take of catch­ing up on LJ… there went a few hours.

I had a job inter­view with Lonely Planet today which went quite well, I think. It does­n’t pay all that well, but it’d be good work.

Back home, some­what drained. I made a bit of a fool of myself with a very cute Cana­dian guy who makes this awe­some TV/Web series called Rock Camp. Oops.

Read­ing thesis stuff this after­noon was good. I like Lin­nell Secom­b’s ideas of frac­tured com­munity. Will be start­ing my thesis posts again soon.

I forgot to men­tion the other day that one of the things that was good about the movie Cher­ish was that one of the char­ac­ters was a Jewish gay guy in a wheel­chair, and it had a scene where they dis­cussed that expli­citly, so I can use that in the thesis. 

Let’s see: what else? Oh yeah, Rolf de Heer gave a talk at x|media|lab and was amaz­ing. Very funny and self-effa­cing. It was so good to be able to thank him for Alex­an­dra’s Pro­ject.

Plus I checked out the Tracey Moffat exhib­i­tion at the MCA. Some beau­ti­ful pieces, haunt­ing and dis­tress­ing reflec­tions on the moments of child­hood in which a cut­ting phrase shat­ters the fra­gil­ity of self, gor­geous por­traits of men in their prime, strong backs and curved limbs stretched, daring pieces hint­ing at nar­rat­ive and the pos­sib­il­ity of escape, a forest full of poten­tial and a woman brav­ing raven-wings. Stun­ning much.

Also, enjoyed catch­ing up with Mark Pesce and some of the other people again. Mark is now in Sydney till July appar­ently, teach­ing at AFTRS and Rach and Jeremy might be coming to town soon and I could get to meet baby Claire. Neat!
