east coburg air



ahh ye merri creek,ye of things unwise, but so very very mild.



just been walking.. almost up to coburg lake, but the crappy swimming pool diverted me.



i've been in my new home a week now and i'm feeling pretty settled in. i can see the walkers as they go down to the bridge for a good wobble over to west preston. i cant shake my link with the other side and i'm still doing my shopping at preston market and south preston shoping centre.



coburg has the guy who works at coles who used to be about 230 pounds but now he's 95 to 100. he speaks in a high pitched accent and is always nice if a bit edgy, so coburg has him, Aamir bakery (the best lebanese bakery) a couple of good restruaunts much else. the arcades are cute and the library is hot, so i will do my thing on both sides of the creek, just like eddy.


the photo above is from xinge da ziran (nature..outdoors,nature..character) in which sophie perillo and i treaded the boards. it was artistcally very succesfull. onwards to part three of the trilogy. i like the idea of doing all three parts on three nights or afternoons at the end. i think its time i tried to get to the bottom of it all and move on.


look out very soon for the hi god people at overground at the melb town hall. its gonna be ooooo

technology and capitalism




the pursuit of the specticle. to distract us for just a minute so our mind can run wild. the latest i phone product, the boredom of buying, the love of old hi fi technolgy, a computer thats 10 years old, a body thats been thinking way too much, not a mind, the light thats creeping under my blind tells me saturday is here.


trying to get a new ftsm magazine up but failing, thinknig about my weekend walk along merri creek and the mud, sweet mud, wondering if the dust in my 1970 hi fi will ever get out.




looking forward to the second hi god peple show of the year. dont know why i bother writing this blog does anyone read it, its like im this algorythm locked in space, i do like to socialise with people and not sit here for too long, i'm being dragged with my cave man stick into the future, i long for a silent world with just bird, animal and wind sounds, i'm allright jack, im just in lack of sleep land.




today is the day your life will surely change. a little bit anyway.


adios

so here i am and its a day off

i will release myself from the world, as i know it, of work and work, and it was a bonus when the coding manager (who also drums in inevitable orbit) says stay at home ju ju (he calles me this). enjoy the day.
what have i been up to? really busy week just scooting around doing odd jobs like videos shot my nick potter, putting them onto you tube. cant for the life of me remeber what i did on monday night, but i did somthing. not much happening on creative side, but i will get some copies of my book printed up, so i can get the hatchet pen out and make a new draught.( i remember moday night now, i went to see the gillian armstrong doco 'love lust and lies' which was most entertaining)

my weekend was fun athough i pulled a muscle on the dancefloor doing some stupied cossack type dance. it was only a tinge really, but i liked drawing attetion to myself. maybe the 3 gin and tonics helped. first time ive been drunk in 18 months and its nice just to partake occasionally.it was a roal dahl party and i went as myself as rowwoe would have wanted.anyways i will say bye bye

so long harry and anne




been a while since i wrote somthing. the hi fod show above was good. i slept well that night after havin a go in the national gallery confines. we were not jazz, but maybe frazz, in yellow ponchos and silver faces, we could have taken on the world, but it wasnt ready, just stepped out for 12 years.




not much else to report. i'm going to an art opening, for no reason, just to get out and i like the hours, i can be home by 9pm, also its close, and i might like the art. i've been feelin the need to get out more lately and thats not a bad thing. i've been working lots also, but you dont need to know that.
