So it's been a long time since I last posted a blog.
My backpack was lost and then found by the aiport a few days later.
I was in airports for over 26 hours and every flight I was on was delayed.
I'm now back in Cape Town and it's stupid hot.
There's a line from a poet called Rumi which reads: "In the Winter we want Summer, but then it comes and we don't like it."
I should be working on the script that Terri and I have done that is going to be staged in Durban, but it's hard to concentrate when you're blinded by the sweat dripping from your brow.
I went to work in Gardens Centre at a coffee shop on the script earlier today, because it's air conditioned there and then I left the Centre and proceeded to sweat on everything.
I went to my friend Rob who has a pool to try and work there, because we have a new maid (and Jonx and Tracy forced me to fire the old one, even though they hired her, so I had to be the evil one, those bastards) and I didn't want to be in her way while she worked.
I ended up spending about 2 hours in Rob's pool and doing very little productive work, and met a nice girl called Candice who was doing the same thing. She was a model, but had a very fat tummy. I didn't realise that was allowed.
Studying law through Unisa semi-sucks. A few of the books are interesting, but some of them are very not interesting, and failure would be too embarrassing, especially because my ex-girlfriend has just started doing law at UCT, and so I have to get better marks then her, otherwise she'll be able to gloat, and I want the gloating points. Man, but I actually have to be in charge of myself and not have some lecturer teaching me.
I still don't know what I'm doing with my life and where I'm going to live this year, but I've given myself until the 15th of Februrary to make a decision, which means I'll probably have made it around the 25th Februrary. At the moment I'm tending towards London, just because I keep on hearing about how if you can make your own work and it's reviewed well... well then things can be different. Also a friend of mine described the London Art Scene versus the South African Art Scene as thus. In London you're considered an Artist, in South Africa you're considered a Drama Student (even if you haven't been one for 20 years.) It's just a totally different attitude to the Arts.
I might go to JHB though. I don't know yet. Maybe the Sitcom will still happen. (Ha, ha, ha.)
I think instead of doing any work I'll go to the beach and take a law book with me. That way I'll have a big book to hold over my face so as to not get sunburnt. Perhaps I'll even open it.
Why would anyone ever create a blog?
To full the internet with useless information and so slow it down so that it spends so much time processing information that it doesn't have time to evolve it's own independant intelligence and kill us all. That's what this site is all about. Saving the world.

excuse me... u hire, u fire, hence the onus being on u to let the person u didn't like get the boot...
this is just another irrelevant comment ... :) hello steve, how are you doing? where is it best to mail you?
Personally, I live for mid-Autumn. And I always love it. (And get phone calls from people who never call me, and presents! And a day when I can be the bastard I always wanted to be but am not good-looking enough to get away with, without getting any shit from people about it.)
