Photo Derive

Had a great tutorial with Grace and Kate today. They seem pleased with my plan of action and fed in some interesting comments, area to explore etc.
One I'm quite excited about is territory and how territories are marked. I have a lot of work to do, and I need to get disciplined!

Going home for the weekend - base camp for major clear out, and some quality time updating my new work network and myspace pages.

**Idea for today. Go for a derive, a photo walk. Try and figure out what it is about Glasgow that makes me feel at home. End up up the Arches to pick up my bike then work on some texts, images etc in the room, 6 til 9pm

Tidy like

I am playing little Suzy Homemaker (whoever she is). Having laid out everything at right angles on my dressing table, and spent major time and thought on the best place for each foodstuff and cooking utensil, I'm happy with my new home.

I'm having my first tea party this afternoon.

Had a thought last night, that
a) I might think of a mini performance idea for each day and create a catalogue of moments. Yesterday's idea was the biodegradable carrier bag on a coathanger with dated reciept (plastic, metal, and paper, or mixed media)
b) I might be the new David Shrigely. *Idea: Making a book and leaving copies with shelf references in libraries. I like his irreverent humour and bad drawing.

No Time, I'm on the move

Guilt and Unrest

Feeling a bit guilty about the last post. It is Julia's space, and I spent time complaining to her about Chris tidying me up all the time. They were doing me a favour allowing me to stay in their space...I just got used to being in the flat on my own. Heaven help me if I do move to my parents house after 6 months of absolutely my own space. I think I'm going to like living on my own, perhaps a little too much!
Took some of my things to the flat last night, and discovered that they have given me the wrong keys! Waaa! Still homeless, living outta suitcase...I feel like I smell.
Gonna call the landlords now, get the keys sorted out and then maybe I can go back to Dunfermline for Tuesday and Wednesday day.
Term started today - we did this weeks room allocation so I have untill Friday to come up with a plan for some practical exercises to use in my space. I think I might buy a Wendy House and video myself putting it together (I can always take it back once I dismantle it). There is definately something in building and construction.

* Idea: For title and style of performance: Hoose and Hame Magazine. Using the style (Rrrrr, Standard Grade Drama!) of Drama Documentary, creating episodic 'articles' (can feature characters) about homemaking, the notion of Home, homelessness, Home affairs etc
NB: It might be better to just title the piece 'Hoose and Hame' as it is more vague and generic

Off into Action,
Same time tomorrow? Probably not.

Missed

Went out last nite and didn't get a chance to post because I stayed way longer than I should have.

Feeling like an alien in Striven Gardens today, as Julia is back and moving all the (my) stuff around. She is barely speaking to me, I don't know if she's pissed off cos I put stuff of hers away. I even feel wierd typing this while she is around. Thank god I've got my own place. I sometimes think I don't understand people at all.
