Still busy!

Sat Jun 13, 2009, 5:34 AM
I'm in quite a whirlwind. these days.
At work I'm training a huge team to use a new tool, plus receiving training on web documentaries.
Finished a calligraphy commission, did a bunch of calligraphy cards for family and working on bigger pieces for layout practice. Also exploring the zone between traditional, gestural and legibility, and hoping to add abstract in the mix.
Translating stuff for the big Worldcon coming to Montreal in August (www.anticipationsf.ca).
Many meetings of the Societé des calligraphes de Montréal (www.societedescalligraphes.org), culminating in my becoming the society's new webmaster. Since then, I've been working like crazy behind the scenes. The previous site was clunky to update, and the society decided to overhaul the look for its 30th anniversary this fall. More to come, this is exciting.

Strangest film I could imagine being done: a Quebecer is re-incarnated in India, and the guy sings Bollywood versions of French-Canadian songs (from pop to children to kitsch). Made-for-TV. For you French-speaking deviants, here's the news bit ([link]) and clips from the film ([link] [link] [link] and [link]).

  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Saturday morning traffic
  • Reading: Banks, The Wasp Factory
  • Watching: Clips from Kanah D'Ha film
  • Playing: flying a kite
  • Eating: rye bread
  • Drinking: apple and cranberry juice

Working hard and playing hard. I'm giving myself the weekend to quiet down after the big project, and then I'm binging on calligraphy again.
