Went to the VCA grad show last night, I had a blast. It's life affirming, meeting all these artists. I have great conversations, about things I'm interested in, and people like to hang out and about.

I dressed up nice for the event, in all black and with silver jewellery. I wore my silver filled chain, and put in the silver earrings Benjamin got me. They feel great in my ears, no irritation whatsoever. Someone told me I "look like I could settle outside of court." Wealth sure does cultivate funny stereotypes.

I saw a few things I liked, a few things I didn't, a variety. It's strange to see what a whole year's work culminates into. Some produced more than others, conceptually and physically. There's a tension between work that looks nice and less pleasure-forward pieces. Sometimes beauty is not what you're trying to say, and you pay for it by recieving less attention from the crowd at the opening. I guess that's the value of critiques and commentators, they can pull out the pieces that aren't immediately attractive and draw the looker in.

Maybe I should write about my favourite pieces? Add it to the list of things to do.

Struggling to focus again today, probably because of the late night last night.

Haven't heard back from the election work people, how am I supposed to make plans? I hate work. The downside to taking time off work is that it both hasn't solved all my problems and now I want to work even less. When I say work I mean employed work and the drudgery and control around it. I love doing things, doing work, but this is not the same.
