Ten months later

I'm easily distracted. That's the only explanation I can give why I haven't posted to my blog for the last ten months. Anyway, you probably don't care what the festival director does for the 40 weeks of the year when nothing is particularly urgent. What's interesting is how the mind and body of this particular post-holder bend and warp under the increasing pressure of the FINAL TEN WEEKS. The best bits should ideally be like watching Big Brother when there are five of them left, they've just had their food privileges withdrawn and one of them has eaten another one's cigarettes.

More of that later. First, here is a summary of how I have spent the year so far:

840 hours sitting at my computer.
336 hours camping in Sicily.
120 hours of driving lessons (no I haven't passed yet - I keep looking the wrong way at the wrong time because, as I mentioned, I am easily distracted).
50 hours at YLAF committee meetings (concentrating all the time, honest).
47 hours watching Seinfeld, 6 Feet Under, Tales of the City, More Tales of the City and The L Word on DVD (so there are some things that hold my attention).
8 hours of yoga.

Now then, what's next?
