Out and about

January 27, 2007

Instead of doing our usual brooding and planning for the first term of school BMB and I have been social. For the public holiday yesterday, we went to Doug’s- BBQ steak and talked computer, comics and all manner of nerdy things with some of his mates. Then we were even more nerdy and went to GOMA to see the final Beyond Anime session. It wasn’t as good as the before anime exhibition, but I was excited to see the work of Kuroska- because I had heard about him and was excited about his use of photocopy technique. 20 minutes of his program was quite interesting- but the last half hour was tedious and became boring. I was very disappointed.

Nat has been our film companion the last few weeks. She came out last night and today we flew into town to see The Fountain with her. It was quite good- I don’t know what I was expecting, but I liked it. There were parts I found overwhelmingly depressing, but like What Dreams May Come, there were uplifting moments that made it bittersweet.

We are so social and outgoing- we’re even going out to Sunday brekky with Kate tomorrow and maybe another movie. For the last few weeks – this could be my dream life. So why do I have to go back to work?
