I've no idea why Colchester have chosen elephants as their friendly guides to show you the route to walk from Colchester North station to the town centre, but they have. I've also no idea why these two children wanted to be in my photo but they waited quite patiently for me to take it.
The random dance is a perennial favorite at MX. Kids are randomly paired with another student, and after an ice cream social and some board games, they dress "randomly" for the dance itself.
My 16 random things. Thanks a bunch to Ninaduckling for tagging me.
01 - I am frequently informed that I have a "dry" sense of humour, but I don't know what this means. I used to think the opposite would be a "moist" sense of humour, but lately I am thinking the opposite would be a "funny" sense of humour.
02 - My first TV appearance was on "Mad About" with Michael Bentine. The week I was on we were "mad about" music. I met Suzi Quatro who was the guest that week. I was ten years old - curse you impossible age difference!
03 - I feel tired almost all the time, except at night.
04 - I don't have a driving licence, but I think I'd be a good driver.
05 - I pay more than £300 every month to clear my debts. In 6 years time I can stop. I consider declaring myself bankrupt but think this would count against me if I wanted to emigrate. I'm embarrassed by this.
06 - I've thrown up blood before because I drank too much whiskey (that was a long time ago, but it has happened more than once).
07 - I thought the Sahara desert was the furthest south I have ever been until I checked on a map and found, disappointingly, Disney World is the furthest south I have ever been. San Francisco is the furthest west, Budapest the furthest east and Edinburgh the furthest north.
Edinburgh is about two hours drive from where I was born and grew up.
08 - I really do think that reading Jack Kerouac changed my life.
09 - I've been offered £1350 by a French advertising company for one of my photos, but I think its a scam.
10 - I'm not a very good conversationalist and find it difficult to make small talk with people. I like people, but I think my inability to produce innane jibber jabber makes me seem unfriendly. Chit chat is a skill that I've never picked up.
Did you see the match last night?
11 - I'm a great lover.
12 - I can't remember people's birthdays. I've tried. I'm sorry that I forgot yours but its really nothing personal. I really couldn't give a shit if you forget mine. In fact I'd prefer it.
13 - As I get older I find more things are starting to annoy me.
14 - I'm thinking about moving to New Zealand, although I've never been there. It would totally smash my "furthest south" record.
15 - I really am very sorry.
16 - When I was at college one of my friends said "When I first met you I thought you were a twat, but actually you're alright". I see this as more of a compliment than I should.
On the other hand my friend Alex described me as "being like a table", which is more enigmatic. Its possible I misheard him, but I actually think its quite accurate and quite astute.
This guy came up to the merch table at the Italian Edition show and bought a girls shirt and made us cut the sleeves off.

A random lazy pic. It was drizziling when I visited this place Kodyadka near Moodabidri, west of Karnataka. While trying to protect camera from rain, got this (stupid) idea :p
A few years ago I rounded up all my unused wall wart power supplies and I carefully wrapped them up, ensuring the plug end was looped under the wrapped wire so it could not possibly escape, even in the event of a global nuclear holocaust. I even labeled them so I would know which electronic item went with each power supply, as far as I was able to identify them. Naturally there are always more wall warts than there are devices, but I thought it prudent to save them anyway. I placed them individually and lovingly int oa drawer, side by side, with two millimetres of space between each one.
This week, upon clearing out what we doctors call 'a load of old shite', I opened the drawer full of wall warts.
And this is what came out. A long string of permanently fused-together wall warts, power cables, phone leads, USB cables, and one European spec SCART lead, something which has never been seen in the USA in the entire course of human history.
Naturally all the labels were missing, stuck together in a vast cluster.
Impressive.

The DOT Urban Art Program partnered with the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) and Gabriela Galvan present "Aquatic Random" a site-responsive, abstract sculpture of St. George Ferry Terminal in Staten Island. The sculpture is composed of found boat parts used for navigation, such as steering wheels and buoys, highlighting the surrounding waterways and ferry terminal activity.
Throughout Galvan's work, the artist explores how sculpture relates to the ideas of time and transformation. Her site-specific work is informed by her surroundings as she observes everyday objects and materials. She creates work that generates dialogue among the art, site and spectators.
