Well, despite a surprisingly effortless and ostensibly quite successful interview, I didn’t get into VCA<\/a>. Stranger Of The Month<\/a> aren’t returning my calls. Rob Hely asked me to help him with a project of his, but I think he’s decided he doesn’t like me any more. (He called me a manipulative psychopath, which was so funny it was almost worth alienating him for.) Beloved Freakley<\/a> has moved to Perth and dedicated herself to talking in quotes absolutely all of the time. I admire her commitment, but our conversations just aren’t the same somehow.<\/p>\n

It’s hard not to go “Well, The Legitimate Art World, I did my best to be your friend but at the end of the day you just couldn’t love me for me.” Or maybe it’s the other way around. Who knows.<\/p>\n

I’ll be done just in time for the apocalypse; it’ll be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
