Wow, I’ve been out every night over 5 days now. I'm pooped. Heh. Its funny I'm saying I'm tired yet I am still awake at 2am. Figure that one out.
So. 3 openings, (two in Glasgow then one in Edinburgh) one night out in Edinburgh, one gig (back in Glasgow) and one comedy show later and I'm still buzzing with ideas. I'm actually having a bit of an opening tomorrow. It will be ‘Form + Content Take Two. Haha how distracted can I get in the run up to 'The Show'?
So I need to make some work for tomorrow. I have some in mind but nothing too fixed. (I only knew about the exhibition yesterday at 7pm well actually it was today Sunday but its now past midnight so I’ll go with yesterday) I’ll get in the space and see what I can rustle up. I wanted to get some images made. I might make a frame too. But then I’d need a load of time. Blah. Maybe not. ohhh… I have my public art project live tomorrow too. Check it out down on Argyle Street from night time…10pm assuming I get it all sorted, which of course I will. Hehe :)
If anyone wants to come along then feel free. I needs some sleep. It’s a busy day to come.

It's official I'm living in this studio.
I'm tired and need to go home. I will go home… but I've still not left this studio yet.
The problem is that everyone is making amazing work and having openings. Of course I feel the need to compete and check out the competition and all that jazz not to mention going to support them also. I suppose the supporting is more than likely the main reason I'm going to these. but yeah I was at one yesterday and another about half an hour ago. It's draining… but saying that the work is top class. Everyone seems on top of their ball.
Oh. We have had a massive meeting this morning about deadlines and what's expected at the exam..
Exam?!
Who even mentioned that word before today? I was like eh…
So we now have those panicked time counters going off in our heads at full speed… a few weeks and counting… i should remember that this is only the first week back after the 'holiday' not that it was one but yeah…
Anyways Blah… I need sleep.

I'm so awake. I’ve got this excitement inside and its only 7.12am . Recently I didn’t know this time even existed. It is amazing. The sun has just begun to hit the walls of my room. Glowing an orangey yellow. Sigur Rós playing in the background. I’ve had a creative morning. I’ve decided on my public art project. I use to stay on Argyle street right next to central station. That flat was amazing. I’m going to make something for there. I kept a bit of an online diary at www.garybolam.co.uk/vice there was a fare few prostitutes there and I ended up seeing the same faces and getting to know their habits. They would generally shout to one another around 4 in the morning. I use to be awake in bed and hear their shouts. I’d see a few ‘…intimate’ moments shared between them and their clients at the most random of times. Cooking dinner for example.
Anyway I plan on making a text work for that area. I’m going to go get a shower now and head for the studio. Woohoo for random moments of inspiration!

HAHA I forgot to say in the last post that instead of focusing on the all important Public Art Project today, I actually managed to distract myself and make a wee funny book called an 'Idiots Guide To Hand-rearing Lesser Known Long-tooth Beavers.' its all a bit funny.
Aww I'll miss being an art student…

So, I've finally got my images selected for the cover opportunity which wasn't as easy as I first thought. I was looking through my iPhoto and I realised that I have over 4,000 images taken since only last year… wow.
Anyways.. I've just not long finished work and I can't be bothered going in tomorrow. I still have a public art project to complete and its just a bit of a nuisance. I'll get something amazing done I'm sure but I just dont want to be thinking of it just now. haha.
You know what… some if not all cinema customers are thick. Like seriously. Who goes into a cinema and asks if they sell popcorn? In fact, you have to walk past popcorn to ask get to the tills in order to ask.. and another one… who seriously couldn't work out what the difference between sweet and salted popcorn is.. I got asked both of these within the last week. I wish I was kidding.
Anyways… 8 weeks today I'll have everything finished… hopefully. haha I'm sure I'll have some last minute things to do. I'll actually guarantee that I will have things to do. Anyway I'm off to bed to listen to an amazing podcast…
night night.
