Playgroup today!
Just thought I would write up a quick playgroup for the people who missed it. (mainly for Ben) We kind of looked into the lack of motivation, within each of us and just discussed Hermes a bit as that is due next week. I think we decided that there would be individual submissions and we haven’t gotten further within it in play group. We also have a nice surprise for tomorrow’s catering more shall be revealed later. So not missing out on to much but nearing the end we had achieved a higher level of motivation, which is good. So it seems where hitting a bit of a busy patch of the year but we all agreed it doesn’t matter if we need to stop for a bit depending on people playgroup wont die! (that last bit was for Liam ;)

I think now one of the reasons I still go to playgroup is so I can detatch from the weird self absorbed world the holidays has allowed me to create. At playgroup I listen to others and see what they've been doing, kick back a bit and keep 'reality' within sight. So for me playgroup is still fun even if 'surface chatting ' with others, not specific design talk or new methods of tackling problems.
Anyway, I have some motivation to go and make a set for the stop motion animation thingy :)
what stop motion animation thingy??? :D
hey punks! just calling in from chilly canberra - your nations capital! just got back from sydney which was dissapointing as it was freezing and overcast most of the tiem,a nd a lot of the people there were snobs. thanks for the update on playgroup haley, some things come back to me now and then from uni, and play group and CG are the two biggest. on the way home in the car dad asked me what this playgroup stuff is about. i talked about what we do,a nd the kind of listening practices we try and foster etc etc. dad has some experience in problem solving in IT corporations - unisys, compaq and also universities and airservices australia , which is where he works currently. i thought it was reall interesting that as we discussed playgroup, its qualities, pros and cons,a nd what ti could be used for, that we slipped into a listening and expression style which suited playgroup. we let each other finish points we made, rebut them, but not put them down. it was a really interesting conversation where the content was as important as the technique, and in this way the process of the conversation was the important thing for me.
anyway, it was somehting small which i noticed, a little way in which playgroup continues on to outside lives, especially when other people want to come to the party.
thnking of you guys,a nd i'l give you a yell when i'm back in town.
rock on
