Summerhall says YES!

We have been formally invited to perform at one of the most exciting venues of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Summerhall. I am extremely excited and frightened all in one. Which is, I believe, good! We are indebted to our colleagues whose experience we have listened to and advice heeded. This is just one step closer to taking Klang Haus to Edinburgh, we now have to raise stoopid amounts of funds...but we have some great rocket fuel! Small Animal Hospital Here we come!!

Lost it

So, I gathered my composure and headed into the mutiny.... to find.... it not really there. There is no truth, just one's own interpretation of the truth. My truth and your truth are different. All I had to go on were my feelings. Feelings of betrayal. Unprofessional, unkind, bullying and sneaky. Those were my accusations... then, I lost it. I lost my temper in an explosive way... I thought my ears were gonna burst. My colleagues saw how hurt I felt, they delivered their defense... we shouted, we reassured, we thrashed it out. More work to be done but it's moved... moved from a stalemate, from whispers... moved to clearer understanding...not yet resolved, but better. I felt so alarmed and shocked by my outburst, all I wanted to do was have a bath.... yesterday when I received news of the 'mutiny' I washed my feet. What strange animals we are.

Mutiny

A new challenge has landed on my plate. I don't know how to proceed, but I am incredibly nervous of whipping up a storm. My earn money job has hit turmoil. As manager, the staff have mutinied against me. A bitter pill, as we are all friends, I laugh hollowly at the phrase. "it's lonely at the top." I'm going to try and document the process as it may be useful reading in the future.

Meeting myself

This is one of the earlier Neutrinos songs...I had forgotten it existed... listening to it last week, each verse was like meeting yourself/myself... not the content....the actual voice....it's me....but with none of the same skin...if you catch my meaning on shedding skin cells, replacing blood cells, aren't we nearly new beings every 7 years... apart from the hard stuff like teeth n bones? To re-meet oneself is a privileged and it's partly because my memory is bad that I can enjoy the unexpected quality of hearing something for the first time, twice.
