captain mission drives to newtown to see steve's play 'van park'
the play is set in a caravan park, inhabited by john paul jones, his wife and son and a backing band who are also supporting characters.
the son is probably the only stable character in the park, he falls in love with a visitor who is doing field research for a degree while doing what appears to be some sort of stripper work. steve's character is an eccentric chap called nebuchadnezzar a sort of mystical musician, cosmic hippie, actually not far away from steve himself.
the play was great, steve was amazing, a brilliant actor as were all the cast and great music, it was indeed a wonderfully entertaining night with every one dancing together, audience and cast at the end. my fave bit, (without steve) was the john paul young singing 'lets have an orgy.'
later as i drove home i considered the future, amazon looming up, i will need to prepare, fitness is first so i guess i'm going to have to start some sort of regime. plus i will need to investigate the medical insurance aspects, tim says it's the last place to get sick, they would have to fly me out of the country. i also need to work out the clothes that i will need and carry a hammock as we cannot sleep on the ground, the ground kills. death from below.
i so don't wanna think about these things, i'm overwhelmed by bills, and responsibilities, car issues, work, personal stuff and now this, it's like another clusterfuck, maybe it's the same one, all things being connected.
speaking of which what happened to that cupcake girl, she said 5 sleeps and it's been about 50. anyway i guess she's having fun up there in the sun and surf relaxing with her baby.
i hang out with agent stone, she makes me nice tea, she thinks aya is a drug, we have a discussion but i don't think i can convince her.
i guess it's not for everyone.
i hang out with hp, she's coming to the amazon with us, i'm the man in the middle. between tim and her i think i stand more of a chance with the jaguars.
it's a hot day, i'm heading for the beach for a surf, the first in many i hope.
