Morning everyone!

Good stress today, CityTV is showing up at my work to interview 2 of our artists in residence as part of the “Expand the North” project we have going.

So I made the place really pretty and hope we get some good PR.

My hot take is, teach him how the system works and how it’s more fun to break the rules as an adult

Ahh man, I get it I guess but still. I guess it depends if he’s truly headed down the wrong path, it’s a different world out there nowadays, fentanyl and all that shit. But i definitely feel you, I wouldn’t take it back that’s for sure. Just the end of my hockey career

I feel like I could’ve used more guidance as a kid. Like someone to sit me down and ask me what I really want in life and how sitting around wouldn’t get it done and I could get stuff I liked by working hard, I dunno. But like, working hard on MY GOALS not like some arbitrary stuff

Im giving it to myself as an adult but damn I’m 35, wish I had realized where I was at like 22 or 23 I don’t know, but that’s just hindsight talking

I just wanna grow as many plants as I can before I bite the big one, is how I feel on some level, I don’t know

I look after a film-arts centre, so moving images but that’s the starting point.

I’ll share an image of the set-up i’ve done for one of them for their screening on Friday. 4 digital projectors so far. One will be for single-channel work, the other 3 I set-up on towers so a triptych of video loops (shot on 16mm) will play as they do a live music/noise performance. Pedal chains, etc.

I do this shit for fun so I always get asked “are you hire-able as a personal tech if I travel tour?” which I say, “Sadly I’m a bad traveller so… no. To much of a bear and I need my cave to function.”

They smile, nod and then take notes! :rofl:

The other artist is a woman born in Ethiopia but lives and practices in Bergen. She’s more of a traditional one channel filmmaker doing a socialigical peice about refugees and their/her experiences as “Muslim Africans in Norway”. :+1:

Thanks! So far so good!

Yesterday was a long haul. Only got to making food at 9pm, plant care from 9:15-45, then I ate at 10pm… Anxiety is HIGH. We dropped :money_with_wings: 2 years back for a new roof, and water showed up again this spring through our venting… turns out the roof is perfect, but but its the 1967 “insulation” and lack of vent-ports in our flashing outside that are causing the condensation build up.

Long story shorter: we need to get a bunch of quotes for different things to find out what we can’t afford and figure out how to deal before next winter…

…on top of the new bi-weekly car payments… :sob: :face_vomiting: :crazy_face:
