my week is, as far as i’m aware, dull. i have some (job) work, and i need to get a couple of things for my sister’s birthday. today i finally got round to watching an old documentary on the virus i’m writing about, only to discover that it was entirely in German and barely subtitled. which stretched the one hour i had put aside for it to about five or six. hopefully whatever work i need to do tomorrow will seem like a breeze in comparison. thank you for the encouragement — and it does sound like encouragement! i’m interested to hear that you did a book proposal. what was it you proposed?

POSTPONED: May 27 – 31: Paris @ Théâtre du Châtelet: THIS IS HOW YOU WILL DISAPPEAR * POSTPONED : October (dates TBA): New York @ Brooklyn Academy of Music: CROWD Nobody enjoys waking up in the morning. Our eyes are drowsy, muscles paralytic, and the comfort of a bed is not so easily departed. Nevertheless, we all have obligations in life — whether they be going to school or the workplace — so we must wake up. Dominic Wilcox has created a series of miniature time-based sculptures using a collection of vintage mechanical watches and customised model figures. By attaching tiny figures and hand made models onto the second and minute hands of each watch, Wilcox has made unique, animated scenes from everyday observations and imagined situations.’ To turn the alarm off you have to get up and find the propeller and return it to the base, by then you’re sure to be awake!
