the Good, the Bad & the Ugly Facts of Life

I do not really like taking pictures of myself and I think I look horrible in this
 one but for a sake of a fresh new start and  for the documentation of the Tangled In Triangles 
project puposes I thought it is kind of a must to take one of myself here in London 


Welcome back to Tangled In Triangles again!
 How have you been recently?

The word 'hectic' isn't even enough to describe all the adventures and happenings that my little brain is experiencing.


At the moment I 100% agree with Chris Piascic

So  far I managed:
  
To go to an amazing and, hopefully useful, event about how to promote myself as an artist
To meet a very lovely artist from Russia and an extremely passionate curator from Italy.
To be commissioned to do wedding invitation designs for someone‘s wedding
To (hopefully) have my artist friend coming over to visit me in few weeks
To have drawn exactly zero drawings and to have taken way too little photos for my Tangled In Triangles blog

And I feel exactly as Alice felt

as well as:

To get an interview in the perfect place.
To get lost and to be embarassingly late for that interview.
To be having one more interview for not such an exciting place sometime soon
To spend way more money than planned due to the lack of knowledge where everything is.
To get lost, get off the train in the wrong stop etc for way too many times
To get registered in the Public Library and use the printing facilities together with other ‘non-working‘ people.
To spend 3 hours trying to print out my CVs there and then finding a nearest possible shop to get a stapler.
To get over my pride and practice a smiling face when asking if the cafes and shops have any vacancies availble.
To like and subscribe to 100s of more or less relevant websites.
To stay in the the pretty cheap house in the posh but way too remote area (the owner of the house knew Bob Marley when he was young!)
To promise to start taking up Wietnamese martial arts with my friends
To be promised to earn easy money by selling mobile phones, catalogues, stocks and godknowswhatelse! (yeah, sure!)
To keep being surprised by summery looking people as I keep forgetting that it is summer already
To start hating the ‚my CV me‘ by sending all the CVs to godknowswhere
To have a nice skype chat with my German and Hungarian friends and not to have enough time for everyone


And... it‘s been like 4 days only!


That‘s all for now – was asked to make some zuccini pancakes for the dinner and have to send more CVs!




(I think Daughter in her song 'Run' feels Tangled In Triangles as well)


With lots of love,
Gabi

P.S. While writing a blog post I got a really strange call - will tell you all about it next time!

  2. Hi PaulB!

    Thank you for reading my little blog and for your comment!

    It was a strange call, really and I answered in detail in my latest post so please have a read - http://tangledintriangles.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/you-dont-need-four-walls.html

    I think it's even possible to write the whole book on all these strange calls!
