How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else. R. Buckminster Fuller

It’s time


Need to write again because I really enjoy it and more important: My memory is bloody awful and I don’t want to forget one of the most amazing time of my live. The Leonardo project is over but I’m still in
Berlin, can’t resist it. I need to be here. Found a lovely room in a shared house in Neuköln, a very exciting multicultural busy part of town close to the river.

Just got back from an exhibition opening a few blocks up, met up with Linds and Laura. Analyzed obscure drawings and had a pre Melt meeting. Next weekend can’t wait! We got rudely interrupted at one moment by a guy who wanted to know where the drink trolley was …can’t really blame him seeing I was wearing my stewardess outfit.

One of the artists made fetish like drawings that consist of a single line, quite intricate, you should have seen it.

Got back to Berlin last Tuesday evening. It was quite a weird feeling leaving after our wicked multi coloured pancake party at KC’s. It made me sad a doubting myself, but I know I need to do this and Cardiff with all it’s amazing people won’t run off. Hopefully. I loved surprising everybody, although some people were pre informed by Cardiff’s incestuous network. I’ve even pretended to be a sleazy stalker phoning people and not saying anything to just see if they were at home whilst they already new I was back for a bit. Anwen forgot about it because of over consumption so it was still a bit of a surprise. Although, I probably also inflicted some brain damage on people that resulted and funky dancing and hiccups. I’m not naming anyone Karlijn. Thank you all for not throwing me out even when I smashed the place, drunk all your booze rum and got over excited on your badge machine –started giving them away by the way- sweetie pie. Can’t get enough of Phoebe Kreutz….but I recon it’s because I’ve got disaster written all over me. Loved spending half of my time hiding inside watching German films, maybe for some a waste of time but now I can finally tap into arty-fartie conversations about Fassbinder and Kinski.

I’m working in Spectrum coming Sunday, the hands-on part of Berlin Science Centre, but I think everybody that reads this blog already knows this because I have been raving about it for weeks. Monday Acud again and hopefully the guys I send an email today that are setting up a virtual world for children on the internet and need a Native Dutch person to do some chat monitoring get back to me –would be so out of breath if I said this without breathing.

My first night in my new bed I dreamed about climbing onto a ramp holding an elastic band. I think it was some kinda bar on a boat I wasn’t supposed to go into. All went well till somebody told me I needed to change my climbing skills –he looked a bit like a bouncer so I did what he said. Move a bit more like abseiling and jump up and down against the wall were his instructions. I did. The elastic band stretched out enormously and I went higher and higher up into the sky. Felt great, until it snapped.

Love you all. Have fun with band practice coming Sunday, I will get my arse in gear to edit the video footage of our midnight session.

Ps. This is no code language, serious.
