I'm taking control of my space this month, and creating an online identity that allows me a bit more scope. I haven't blogged before, so it may take some tiem to reason with the banal and move on to actual ideas. 2008 is almost over. Achievements were many this year. And I turned 40, to add another milestone.
Reflecting on the big block busters and the smaller shows, the events and work of 08, I have to say the GoMA shows this year have all been engaging, partiularly the recent acquisitions on now. As always, I was enamoured with Hellboy at the cinema (number 2), and would happily sit through the Coen brothers' Burn after Reading again. The Dark Knight is also a film I won't forget.
I took my partner Axel to anAFL match, the first we have ever attended and it was very cool. The trip we took to NZ in September was great. We had very good weather and saw some enchanting places. It was so fast though, it felt like a sampler trip, so we will do it again, but slower next time. There was a quick trip to Sydney for a fantastic wedding in April and the week in Peregian in November (image taken in vacant block), without whcih I would probably have collapsed by now..
So it's been a great year, academically, at work, and expecially for getting away. Now I'm reclaiming the garage and sorting out the garden, and thinking about painting for the first time in two years. Soon.
