What have I noticed?

3 minute read

I recently saw a project (I since can't find it) where someone had sent in tiny diary entries as personal columns in a newspaper. They were delightful, something along the lines of:

May 7. Feeling low. Saw M in the evening. May 10. Lasagna for dinner. The world is alive.

Not quite that, but that's the energy.

Here's what I've been doing the last few days.

2023-08-16: Watched Smoke Sauna Sisterhood. The Matildas lost the semifinals.
2023-08-17: Watched "It Lives Inside". Underwhelming
2023-08-18: Saw XYZZY by Jess Johnson and Simon Ward, caught up with Dunedin friends
2023-08-19: Saw Kali Malone, loved it
2023-08-20: Met with art friends in the morning, saw Los Delincuentes in the evening. Surreal movie, slow, too long.
2023-08-21: Did team planning with work. Got a beer with flatmate. I am exhausted.
2023-08-22: Went out for dinner with friends. Still tired.
2023-08-23: I'm sick today.
