writer's block question:  What's in your refrigerator right now?

ha ha, nothing, because I don't have a refrigerator!

the apartment came with a washing machine in the refrigerator's place in the kitchen.  (on an unrelated note, the apartment also has thin walls, and the neighbors are doing it right now.  I can hear the headboard thumping against the ( Read more... )

Spring is in the air and I took a walk to Newmarket and back at 7.  I saw a new bubble milk tea shop where the waitresses dress in frilly maid uniforms, a crappy prog metal band practicing inside a musical instrument store after closing time, a little white hatchback car with the vanity license plate "Sxy Time" in a frame that said "lovin' it" ( Read more... )

4 happiest words: postal article for collection. 
I have to go to Morningside between 9 and 11 tomorrow.  It might be stuff from Australia or it might be books I ordered.  either way. 
also, I've been working my way through a big stack of magazines I had in storage, so scans are forthcoming.  Nothing as great as hotdog lady, but what could be?

ahhhh moving!  I was meant to go Tuesday, which was already delayed from the 10th.  Sunday I had a goodbye dinner, Monday packing and errands, then said goodbye and even hugged my favourite record store clerk in the Sydney area, then dinner with E and her boyfriend next door.  Then packing and cleaning, and the unwise idea of staying up all night ( Read more... )

I am sitting and writing in my house, which is freezing, wearing an army parka over long underwear, clothes, scarves, and it is still too cold.  I should just condense all operations into one room where I can shut the door and turn up the space heater, but this is hard to do as I am trying to pack to move.  The air freight people were meant to pick ( Read more... )

I went to see The Runaways at the Sydney Film Festival tonight with 2 people from the Wednesday reading group.  It was in the state theatre which is this luxurious chandeliered movie palace with steep balcony seating, which is where we were, perched under the chandelier.  I liked it and will take a chance to say it was done 'right', by my inner 5 ( Read more... )
