mid search & reflect week... the sometimes strange and marvellous set of workshops that JS wrote, he who set up my college with the current boss 20 years ago...
JS died before i even came to london, i learnt the workshops from A, A who left my college recently, @ whose leaving do my current boss told me the story of the welfare state, the organisation who did the first burning down of a model of the houses of parliament that walk the plank did on saturday night to great effect...
anyway, it's always hard work the intensive search & reflect week... and at lunchtime today i realised that i wanted to have an arnica... the homeopathic remedy that i used to carry around with me all the time, but haven't felt the need for for some time now...
it was a conversation with a student that brought on this fragile moment for me... i didn't have the arnica, didn't have any on me... as a cream it's used for bruising, as a pill... (is it homeopathic..?) it's helpful for getting passed emotionally challenging moments, you know when you are a bit paralised by something, can't quite get passed it...
anyway, the afternoon session was even harder work but i was triumphant... somehow, got the students to where i needed to get them, and got myself very much back into a stronger state... cycling home after work was one of those powerful... fast... deeply satisfying journey's... crossing over the thames and then a little later crossing over the regents canal...
on another matter i was kind of hoping that my counter over there would show 1111 on friday, being the 11/11/05, just now when i looked it was up to 1121 already, so it must have passed through the date it represented at some point in the last couple of days, either 1107, 1108 or 1109... i could check actually... maybe i will, the kind of numbery thing i like... i was tempted the mark the moment when i passed the millenium but i forgot, or it didn't matter that day...
and i have been really enjoying firefly the joss whedon scifi series that fox tv axed three years ago that then got turned into the film serenity that i saw a week or two back... i bittorrented the series and i've been watching it on and off for a week now... good characters and pleasing situations... please, please, please make another series, not that i'd get to see it for years now but surely after the film...?
and we're having a party on saturday, i keep forgetting about it and have invited almost noone (actually i just invited a few of the old crowd but it's already wednesday... i am terrible at inviting people to parties) but it should be a swinger... spanish M has thousands of spaniards to call upon, the watts are playing... the cocktails will flow, it'll be a farewell to A also, he's shipping out of this birdbath republic sometime next week...
anyway, the bourne identity is on the box and i quite fancy it, after the day i've had...
