harmless? bananas!

It was supposed to be a cool July evening with a slight drizzle outside. But it stopped, and the muggy humidity has set back in. Still, it’s nice to find a few quiet moment before I fade into blissful rest.

It’s been a crazy three weeks as I found a job for the next two months before I start teaching, played gigs, had rehearsals, was part of a wedding entourage, and even fractured my wrist! But more importantly, I was with the family and friends that I love.

Won’t say much more now, but I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

Played a stellar show as Shelves.

We played soccer as part of my friend’s stag party. He wasn’t the groom, but just tired. (like me)

I actually managed to fracture my wrist during the game. A hairline along the radius.

It’s tradition to gatecrash the bride’s home. So we brought vuvuzelas!

The bride makes her way.

A gentleman always gets the door.

Her gown was being stuffed into the car.

A very smirky groom.

Customary metaphorical closing shot. Cue end credits.

That said, my left arm is in a cast till August 10, so you’ll forgive me if I don’t type as much as I used to.

A fairly resounding day with me presenting to a class of nine, 14 year old students a compact, two hour introduction to making documentaries and some erstwhile tips to surviving the process. It was a lot to condense, and I didn’t have that much time to prepare, but if you can be bothered to look through the presentation, there are links at the end of it that points to the examples I used to highlight what documentaries could be.

After that, it was off to a social gathering organised by my church’s young adults’ network. I thought it was quite a nice gathering from folk, and I caught up with a few leaders who were older than me, and we talked about my decision to start teaching (in September). I suppose it was kind of cathartic for me, and also introspective to listen to the accounts of people who have been there before me.

So there was food, and there were sodas, someone made incredible cheesecakes (that were generous with the crumbly base.) But things really picked up when my friend showed up with his incredible “Horse Head”. If you wear this, you inadvertently turn into Horse Head Man. Here are the pictures:

And lastly, I was just thinking, before I die, or after I die, I would like to publish all my personal entries into a book entitled “The Published Work Of The Misadventures Of Brian Leery.”

Or something like that.
