My little sister is a working poet. How good is that? She has been commissioned to write some poems AND she runs workshops in poetry writing in schools and stuff. Very proud of her, I am. Go, Our Face. Do what you love. The universe rejoices. Get in!Yesterday, a chance meeting in the yoga class. There were a lot of people. 25 or so. One of them was a lovely woman I'd been on a workshop with before Christmas. Funny, clever, Mexican. We said hello. Perhaps we'll meet up soon. I've emailed. Another yoga class today. Eunice taught this. It was gentler. More followable. No chakra stuff, but lots of downward dogs.
I had a massive go on a quickly upside-down Rottweiler today. Someone begging outside Sainsbury's had him. He was on his back when I saw him. Then I asked if I could pet him and he flipped back up a little faster than expected. Once, on Baker Street, I petted a homeless man's dog without asking - a tiny terrier - and it nearly bit my hand off. He told me i should always ask, as the dog's job is to protect him, so what was I thinking. I definitely (and unwisely) kind of went in for the touch on this Rottweiler without really checking, but it all turned out peachy. It was rolling around with its legs in the air within five seconds. I bought him some food and I think that was a very clear example of altruism for selfish purposes. I am often to be found wandering wistfully down the dogfood aisle. No wist today, just biscuits. Dry dog food. Job done.I'm grateful to Max for being so lovely about Berlin, and so patient. I'm not able to tell him yet if I'll be coming to do the mask show or not, because I don't know if I can afford the trip to Berlin and it's dependent on the work being confirmed - should happen in the next couple of days, once I've managed to speak to everyone involved.
And for a brilliant drop-in, I am humbly grateful. That's just ACE. Five people came. We played. They rocked. Thank you, thank you, thank you, playing people. Thank you Crunchy Frog Collective. Thank you, this opportunity to do something I love doing. Oh, and thank you for this. Again. http://foodonmydog.tumblr.com/
And this... As I'd googled images of Our Face (aka Sarah Thomasin) I thought I'd google my own name and see what came up. Well, there's this gentlman, Mr Jude Claybourne. Is it okay to fancy myself? It is if I am slick, handsome and hot as all hell. And finally, please, PLEASE check this out. It's one of the best videos I've seen in ages (thank you, Rob Grundel) and pleases me massively. Look out for some of the best faces anyone's made in long time, some brilliant crazy dancing, perfect sofa bouncing and a man beating a stuffed lion with a baseball bat.
