Had a great and fun chat about various Joburg niceties, video art in the age of digitalia, spritiualism online, and wherever else (Aryan) Kaganof’s, Nicola’s or my fancies took us. It was a good start to the morning, with coffee and dessert – looking forward to hearing more about the Rotterdam Film Festival<\/a>, for which Aryan is putting together a Johannesburg program (I did a new short piece for them). It sounds like there are some great works on board – I hope Aryan will put some of them up here, or at least toss us\/me (which I’ll post) links to them!<\/p>\n

Then, went to Colleen’s for an afternoon of work, only to receive a call (within minutes of my arrival) that there’s a leak in my shower. Rush home, call plumber: NOT A WASHER – whole tap needs replacing, several thousand rand, NOT including the fact that we will have to find matching tiles, or replace everything, and also pay a tiler, etc. They just plugged it up for now, as I scramble for a way to pay for it….<\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n

I guess we at least have a bath for now, otherwise I’d smell more than usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
