I am really quite tired at the moment. Work has been good but relentless of late; I was up against a crunch period to get some demo-ware done for a trade show. I did my best. The last night and working weekends really takes it out of you. I have not felt so exhausted in a long time.
Now, I am taking some time off to relax but I am not being idle. I have some visuals to put together for the guys at Urban Visuals. And I have just started doing some volunteering at Shunt. What is Shunt you may be asking? Shunt it a theatre troupe that operates a lounge/performance space under London Bridge Train station. It is simply an awesome place; I had sort of a role in a performance piece called "The Peoples Republic of Shunt"; it was inspired by the film "The Lives of Others". People who come on these nights may get detained interrogated and invited to do secret agent training. My role is a tank mechanic but last night, I was more doing recruitment for secret service. I also got to spend time in the VIP Red Room with Commandant Eleanor. She did say I have to toughen up on letting people have access to the Red Room it is very exclusive.
As well, I find myself wondering where am I going next - shall I stay in London for a while yet or is approaching time to return to Vancouver?
I am still working on the travelogue from my trip to South America! I will finish it this year.
In the fall, I plan to go Barcelona to meet up with friends and my friend from Osaka Shuichi will be in BCN in November filming a documentary with NHK. I have not seen Shu in years - it will be good to meet up in the flesh.
Lastly, last Sunday I went to see the Thames Festival parade.
