Pause For Reflection
A couple of people have recently mentioned of late that the frequency with which I've been posting has reduced somewhat. To these people I say, "well aren't you the observent ones!"
For a couple of reasons (workload, too tired to go out, having some virus-thing for the last week or so) it's true I've not been posting much. Thus, anecdotes about dinner with that lovely couple, Mr and Mrs Path-Android; seeing both the play and the film of The History Boys, and enjoying both despite their flaws; the excellently entertaining way my Eurovision night played out at the soon-to-be-reverting-to-its-non-rock-and-roll origins Spanish Club; none of that has been recorded for posterity on this here blog.
So, you miss out on my self-indulgent ramblings, and I miss out on recording my day-to-day life, as this blog is as much my diary or journal as it is anything else. Such is life.
That said, ever since I became the Chair of Fringe a few weeks ago I've also been contemplating being a little more circumspect about what I write here, because of its potential for adversely impacting on the organisation. On the other hand I really don't like censoring myself, no matter who may or may not be reading (Hi mum! Hello Drug Squad!) my posts.
So, after due contemplation, I won't be censoring myself overtly. You can still expect occasional tales of wild nights on the tiles and casual sex with anonymous men in parks and alleyways on the rare occasions I actually get lucky. You'll also get details of the various films, performances and exhibitions that I get along to, when I find the time to post about them. On the other hand, I might not be posting as often as I used to, if the past couple of weeks is anything to go by.
Now that we've got that settled...on with the show!
Oh, and to maintain the self-indulgent trivia quotiant of the day, have I mentioned that I'm trying to grow my hair? It's at the stage now where I'm seriously tempted to grab the clippers and trim it all off again, but god dammit I intend to persevere to the point where I can actually have a hairstyle again for the first time in some eight years; even I do have to wear a hat for the entire winter while my hair grows out...

this is Kerryn, Zac & Cat, live from Exmouth WA!
We would love a picture, minus the hat, of said hair "Fenomena"!
What else would we be doing after paying a squillion bucks to spend 10 seconds with a whale shark, other than checking up on you!
Kerryn is well & we all look forward to a your fringe recommendations (& seeing hair in person!)
much love,
us.
PS Congrats on the Fringe chair!! YAY!!!!
I'm not wishing to make your life any more busy...
Congrats on the fringe chair,
Can I ask you in this informal and public forum where the fringe now stands in regards to last years nasty politiking?
Where the fringe was telling voters to NOT vote green:
crikey report and greens response
I was just about to register a show for the fringe and feeling very reticent now after stumbling across this, and not yet coming across an official fringe resolution - certainly not on their website.
As a lurker on this blog I know you're a very decent chap who cares about important stuff, I think you will be an excellent chair and wish you all the best. May you ease my, and others, qualms about that problematic festival.
