It lives!
One hundred days ago I started documenting the purple basil plant that was on my windowsill when I moved into my new digs, asking the quesion “will it live?” It turns out with a bit of watering, fresh air, and the occasional watered down drink of Coca-Cola, the answer is yes. The Plant has had its ups and downs, but as can be seen on this Flickr feed it’s very much alive.
And so, as we hit day one hundred, the Flickr feed will be discontinued. There are big things in The Plant’s future, as, like myself, it has grown mentally and spiritually as a person. Re-potting is on the horizon, and maybe even a change of view. I’ll still keep a record of its life in my library, but The Plant will no longer be a daily internet personality.
Big things are on the horizon for Canadia, too, including a conceptual photo shoot, a couple of music videos, and gig some time around the 27th (details to follow). All that and a series of songs base around Alain de Botton’s Essays in Love.
Also on the cards, for those who remember Gestalt Switch: the entire recorded output of this Dunedin band will soon be available online for free. Just looking for one more piece in the puzzle.
So stay cool, and, like The Plant, let’s all keep on living.
