Today was my first full diary entry. In have written my bathroom experiences in extreme detail. This was also the first bathroom day to be filmed/recorded digitally. 

The 13th of August takes me on the journey through brushing my teeth in the morning, what else I do while I brush my teeth - such as scratching my back, brushing my hair, the constant battle I have with my fringe to make it stay in place, storing soap, getting undressed, another battle with my hair, adjusting the shower head, itching my knees and elbows, washing myself in the shower, applying soap in the shower, lastly washing my face because I hate water on it, squeegee-ing the shower after using it, drying myself after my shower - starting with my face, dolloping my moisturizer onto my skin and rubbing it all over, the use of steroid-based moisturizers and applying them sparingly, getting dressed into my pjs after my moisturizing and leaving the bathroom after my shower. Finally I re-brush my teeth, remember that I should be filming while I brush my teeth and start scratching again. 

The final image is a sketch of the movements I describe in the bathroom. 

Friday 12th August_Diary Entry


Today was pretty uneventful, having started my diary half-way through the day most bathroom activities have gone without recognition.

I have noticed that the activities noted in my diary all involve the use of the mirror. Today's sketch is pretty boring - a sink and mirror that can accommodate hair fixing and teeth brushing.
