day 33… it’s move time…

Today is Day 33 that I’ve been back in Brisbane. As can be confirmed prior to me leaving in October… I’m done with this town. The weather has been FABULOUS as have the frequent bush romps in coastal wonderlands north and south of me… but I need to move.

The move requirement is distracting from my work. Since I’m old now, I can make generalized cliche Artist statements like ‘I can’t work in these conditions!’ and ‘It’s critical that such and such happens…’

Therefore I have officially cracked shit that it’s go time.

Luke leaves tomorrow morning for Melbourne. I leave Monday. That means yet another unsupervised weekend… I figure I might as well hit town since I’m manifesting an ASAP move…

Ok who am I kidding… I hardly need a reason to hit town. There have been a few whispers of beach trips  and cocktails and casinos…

… should be interesting.

In terms of Writing…

I have new ideas that I’m not going to start experimenting until I move to Melbourne (next week hopefully?). Editing, script, and research proposal are meant to be at the forefront of my existence. At the moment I’m having a hard time focussing because the requirement to move is consuming mucho energy…

Which basically means I’m still writing a lot of poetry…

That’s right everyone. Approximately 48 hours ago during script break I got a brilliant idea that was born from the brief consideration of ‘Wouldn’t it be great to have a bunch of poems and short stories in one document?’

After some serious cutting and pasting and three hours of life that I’ll never get back… I had about 50,000 words in front of me. Continue reading…

Today I am going to the beach. I will not be staring into space until my body pours poetry nor will I be finalizing script pages. Continue reading…

food and words…

Growing up in a house of seven people with a Euro-mix mother, food was a basically the centre of my universe. As a kid, life is pretty much based around the next time you’re getting presents and/or special food.

That said, I never cooked anything until I was married. Being single and living alone in New York City means you never, ever have to cook… sigh, NYC how I miss thee… Continue reading…

It is officially the week of the script blog family. My weekend was full of emotion and randomness. I blame cabin fever, ‘work-related-stress’, and a few other bits and pieces. Continue reading…

In 22 days I return to Australia. I’m not going to get much more into this before I go because the combination of excitement for a new journey and sorrow of leaving my family, friends, and beloved city literally has me in tears at the moment… which is making my monitor somewhat blurry.

In a few weeks time, CJ is going to shoot the zombie thrasher short-flick that I wrote the script for back in November. Whoever ends up getting cast as the zombie bikini models might be a bit chilly in the surrounding snowy weather. I am going to make a cameo appearance as Clara, the disgruntle Writer (I’m a method Actress…) Continue reading…
