kick in the pants worked - i have my first spot booked since the comedy festival. i'm on next tuesday at vibe on smith street. went there to hang out and see the show last night, and to catch up with nelly. it was a good line-up, and i felt a bit weird when they flashed up next week's lineup on the screen and there was my name, all in caps. should be fun though - the crowd there is rather mellow, very supportive, and the venue is dimly lit. janet is very enthusisatic too - i'm hoping to get more gigs there after we get back from fiji. nelly's on at the commercial this thursday night, so we'll go over there and check it out - might see if ged will give me a little spot there. it's weird - i've gone from not wanting to do this at all, to this. not a bad development, huh?
i've found out that my post-grad app has been received and is still awaiting processing, and haven't heard anything else from varuna yet. i'm sooo hoping i get into the post-grad course - i really want to do this! i've had no further progress on the short piece i started, though i might jot some more thoughts down while we're on holiday. hoping to get some inspiration for a 'coming home' type piece, maybe. the hq short story comp is just around the corner, too.
