Sugar for Art



So Week 2 of semester is all but finished and everything seems to be going ok. After a pretty hectic Week 1 it feels good to have things slotting in to place for a change. Already this early, my third year students have begun fundraising for the their final graduation exhibition. They made a wallet-full from selling homemade cakes and cookies and even some vegan "meat" pies. So proud of them, I hope they can keep up their energy for the rest of the year! I suppose if they are eating these rainbow cakes as well as selling them it'll be sugar rush all year!

I started watching the Banksy movie last night. It didn't keep me awake, I don't know if that's a sign of its quality or not but we'll see.

Clean Up

Just finished the first week of teaching for the semester. So I thought that's as good a reason as any to clean this blog up has been lying dormant for a while now. It got a bit messy because of a conflict with my posting app on my phone that I was using to update the honeymoon blog. But that doesn't matter because I'm pretty sure nobody (except for Ahn) reads this anyway, because I haven't told anybody about it yet. But, I intend to be a bit more of a diligent blogger from now on.

Anyway, my attention this weekend will be on writing an article that's been sitting in my head for about 2 years, things like work, overseas trips and getting married, but mostly work, tend to limit the time I get to work on such things so that's what I'll be doing as soon as I finish this post. Of course this process will be interrupted tonight because Jen and I will be driving up to Brisbane tonight to see Joanna Newsom. We might try and catch Bruce Reynolds' exhibition at Ryan Renshaw Gallery on the way.
