blimey, what a day

Spray-painted my new Migritude suitcase red for Vienna.

Confirmed a performance in Milan on March 22nd.

Confirmed an interview on SABC (South African TV station) on Tuesday morning.

Ate three-quarters of a bar of Dagoba 59% dark chocolate, spiked with lime and macadamia nuts.

Visited Bill in hospital.

Learned that Bullets and Butterflies has been nominated for a Lambda Award.

Didn't get through anything on my To-Do List.

Didn't make the calls I intended to 2 friends going through tough times - and now it's too late at night.

Didn't exercise. Didn't rehearse. Didn't write the two pieces for Pambazuka that I'd scheduled for today.

Didn't hit my target bedtime of 10.30pm.

5am wakeup tomorrow. Rehearsal from 8am - 11am, and I've done less than 50% of what Kim asked me to work on this past week. Feel like a guilty schoolchild who hasn't done her homework. Except that I always did every scrap of my homework and more, when I was in school. OK then, feel like a slacker adult who masquerades as an artist, eats chocolate and blogs when she should be honing her craft.
