Greetings.

I have broken my mould. I seem to dwell in forms for periods of time. And then I get tired and need a change. I have been b*logging for a while now in a rather inaccessible form, but now the spirit has gone - or changed shape - and I haven't felt a need nor a want to b*log about anything. Sometimes forms encourage or discourage expression, they are tools, and from experience I recommend playing with them. Especially perhaps if you are having trouble feeding your b*log with nutrients.

My Rose Bruford phase is gradually drawing towards its imminent end. With each passing day I become more aware of the fact. Under the current circumstances the fact makes me happy, I am tiring of this phase and need a change, a development. A next step toward life and career maybe. I never seem to look to the future without some sort of plan, or ideas of where I am going. I have never, not once, in my life been without a direction or an intent. Today is no different. There is a plan, a rough outline - within which, however, I reserve the personal right to variation and freedom.
My upcoming steps, as they appear to me for the next year or so, are as follows: I will finish my BA studies in latter June. I will move back to frozen fairyland and look for a home with my fiance. I will start MA studies in Cultural and Educational Management at the Icelandic University for Business in mid-July. I will find a job that interests me, perhaps even a couple of jobs - my aim is to see what is available in the literary field, publishing companies and the Library for the Blind. In whatever time I manage to preserve I will continue my personal development in theatre practice - the aim is to attempt work on, importing and initiating, a few Dan Kai Teatro (our theatre company) projects as well as projects of my peers. And I will curl up under some fur (leggjast undir feld) and ponder on opportunities and determinations for the following three years.

By the way, to whom it might interest: my lovely and talented fiance and partner in crime is currently performing a devised piece of theatre along with the independent theatre ensemble of which he is a part. The piece is called "The Icelandic Family Circus" and will be performed until April, at the Loftkastalinn theatre (in the workshop studio), Reykjavik. I recommend it to anyone, tickets can be booked or reserved, and further information gathered, on (+354) 8485448 and midasala@gmail.com.

Lastly, on Sunday April 9 - in the valley of Ellidaardalur in Reykjavik - I am doing a "sweat loss ceremony" along with a like-minded group of people. If you would like to join us for the experience let me know. It will cost each participant the sum of 4000ISK, and will take about 5 - 6 hours. A lucious meal included. If you haven't tried this, you really haven't lived.

Seize the day, you lot!
