...and life goes on...
... and I haven't posted a damn thing for ages. Naughty me. Well, here's what gives:
1. I'm oficially back to work. Have been for almost a month now. Amazing how out of it I still am. I wonder if that is ever going back to what it was. Personally, I doubt it. As one of our ex students said a couple of days ago: 'Acabou o encanto, né?' So, hopefully soon it's gonna be 'so long and thanks for all the fish' to this part of my life.
2. I bought a bunch of weird books and have been having a ball with them. More about them later - that is, if I don't feel to ashamed to share some of the titles with my noble audience (which, btw, is formed by one single person so far - a kind soul from Thailand).
3. I have been drawing every chance I get. I carry my Columbo-wannabe-pad with me and draw on the bus, in bed, at the dinner table. I came up with something really cute last night. It is like a family portrait. I'll take a picture and post it here, the way it is right now. I intend to work on it still, and improve it and smooth it out... but I think I'd like to keep an image of this first sketch - my own interpretation of the Itokazu-Moon family.
4. Anyway, the plan is to 'work toward a new life' (sounds like a self-help book title) a little bit every day. I mean, do something about it every day. Even if it is real tiny. Like today I'm writing about it here, 'cause I might not have time to do anything else. Getting the idea and making it more real by putting it in paper. Getting closer to it by shaping it with words. You get the spirit.
5. You know what, I kind of dig Josh. He's super cool. While I was feeding him this morning, we had a talk. I said: 'You know, I think you came to change my life. You are the wind of change. You came to me so I can start being me.' (or something like that, I was really sleepy) And he said: 'Ugh' and smiled - and drooled milk all over. It is like 'Geez, man, I have no idea what you're on about... but I think you're kind of fun, and to prove it to you I'll give you my best milky smile'. What more can I mother want?
6. Oh well. time to get ready to leave. Meeting in São Paulo today. Oh joy.
