seriously !! forget your liseuse, pfff !!! what were you thinking ?
but, how do you like that book ? i read the first 10 pages from the library but didn't have time to read the whole thing before i had to return it (it was reserved by someone else so i couldn't keep it longer) and then waited A YEAR for the price of the ebook to be lowered (and the day the pocket edition was available, i sent a little email to the publisher, saying "i am sure, that now the paper edition is available for 7€, you won't leave the ebook at the original price of 19€, right ?
right ????"
) and as soon as the price went down i bought it. but then i got distracted and never finished it (ironic, since i was so frustrated while i was waiting...
) maybe i should go back to it, then we can read it together, like a mini-bookclub !

Packed up the show at around 7:30 with the help of a friend who miraculously happened to come (I was too stupid to ask anyone to help), then ran with her to a gallery where one of my videos was selected for a festival. The "opening night" turned out to be a screening of all the selected videos (around 18 I think), including mine. It was very weird to see my work projected in front a room of -gasp- about 30 people (although about half of them left before it was my turn I think). And I think some of them even liked it!!! 
Tomorrow should be pretty much the same except for the gallery, which is closed on Sunday, and hopefully I will see more friends tomorrow (including Zelda) and people will be more relaxed and have time to actually look at my stuff |
well, now you're famous, don't forget about all of your old (not famous) friends ! we can say "we knew her before" ! or will you become a snob, wearing dark glasses even at night and filtering your telephone calls ?
i hope you had some fun, while you were having this crazy day !
i really hope i will be able to stop by tomorrow ! what time will you close up ? same as today ?
