Still In the Box

How to pretend that I’m in a Box?

added Loss page

While I am recovering form my pinched nerve, I have added a LOSS page featuring two enterntaining podcasts of older audio works that both deal with the notion of loss.

pinched nerve and script development

Pinched a nerve in the neck yesterday. Never had it like this. Still thinking about the BOX story, Travel in a Box, Boy in a Box, In a Box.

Coming from a small town, big dreams about the world, got stuck as a shipping clerk on the the border of his dream.
Was he a wandering, adventurous [...]

A lyric to learn

The One That Got Away Lyrics
Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Small Change
The jigolo’s jumpin salty
ain’t no trade out on the streets
half past the unlucky
and the hawk’s a front-row seat

and sent him home
talking bout the one that got away

In the Box

I am a big fan [...]

Later on I also saw an article in the newspaper about it. It is the case of a missing man whom everybody called Gordon.
Today as I was passing the [...]

Arthur’s Seat

While the rest of Europe is melting in the 40 c I am literally chilling in Scotland. Whoever I chatted with today form the Mediterranean would trade places in an instant. Can’t complain, especially when a bit of sun peeks thru then it is wonderful to go take the short yet satisfying hike up the [...]

It’s the process that counts

Still being very into my Sarajevo project I had to write some sort of statement for the catalogue of the show over there. All the unwirtten posts for this blog kept getting in the way of formulationg a coherent thought. After a few days in Edinburgh and a visit to the Threshold artspace, I am [...]
