As I no longer have a home in Newcastle, I have been sleeping on the floor of my friend HD, who has been playing me Nina Simone's 'Mr Bojangles' over breakfast every morning in...

1. i just looked left -

2. teeth ... always always teeth ...

I am currently editing a storybook wedding...you know the whole bit. I don't mind weddings so much but this one imparticular...woah. Rather stick my hand in a meat grinder.
So you didn't sink your teeth into Ab Fab? (Love the abrieve). The humor was vicious...I enjoyed that part...American TV doesn't pull out it's nails like that.
I got "Lovely and Amazing" coming next.
Thanks for the recommendation...same director as the Crow ((+_+))

Don't know if you are a hip hop fan but in Mos Def's latest album (1999) "Black on Both Sides" someone asks him where is hip hop going and he replies "ask yourself where are you going?" I think that is true. SO where is literature or cinematic critiqing going? Let the world know.

I should really stop talking shop in these journals. Like as if anyone's actually interested, right? your right, I don't understand half the stuff you write, but I persevere haha

and i am very excited for you and all your oz like prospects - that is excellent. i really don't think you can go wrong moving there. whilst i'm sure every section is different, i've truly never met an aussie i didn't at least enjoy. mostly i genuinely like them all. and ohhhh, the red clay is marvelous. i kept my hiking boots from there for years for the love of red dust.

and of course they want to keep you! you are clearly a bright mind. however, since misery loves company, that may not be best for you. whatever your decision, it will all work out for the best.
well, snogging dreams are always bonus ~ especially if there is levitation involved. right with you on the balloon thing, tho ... *shudders* eep.

I hate when you see someone and you desperately want to say something but the words just wont form. That's the stuff that haunts you.
I think Maurice Dantec could very well be spot on.
1. I'm sorry, but, isn't Dean Koontz something of a hack?
Wash your mouth out, I can't believe you kiss your mother with that mouth, I love his work trashy as it may be.
2. Maybe I ought to know this, but what does Nuckinya mean?
it is an Aboriginal word from a tribe in northern NSW meaning hello, seeya later and how are you doing all at once, it is pronounced phoneticly.
3. Who is Liz?
Liz is a young lady I met a year ago at a friends birthday party and I have been wanting to ask out for a while and I did so last week. (she said yes)

sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you...
now, since you seem a little tense i have a mission for you. Go to a park, sit on a bench. make time to do this for at least an hour. stare at every person that attracts your attention for the first half, and i mean study them (bring a notepad if ya like), how they move, how the speak, hand movements, what they eat, how they breathe, etc. then just relax and smile at every pretty boy or girl you can, and remember you most likely will never see any of them again, so there can be no consequences for good or ill.
or drink yourself silly in a darkened corner of some little shithole smelly place, and stumble blind and vomiting back to your bed. either way you'll probably feel a little different about yourself tomorrow

You know...why don't you write to his PR people? And if that doesn't work, write to his management....and if that doesn't work, write to his studio...and if that doesn't work... (so on, so forth). Then, it would even be a PLANNED meeting. And you'd have more time. Paris is so close to you. You could jump over there, just any old time, Sweet One.
SALLY FORTH, Baby.

I like that.
Boys that don't smile draw me in towards them. I have to find out what is inside. I, on the other hand, smile too much, and my face is an open book.
My sister worked a part time job at a grocery store while she was at university. She told me about this one old lady who was all spiffily dressed up who asked my sister to carry her groceries home for her. When she showed my sister to her pantry, it was filled to the top with the exact cans of stuff she'd bought that day. It appeared to be her only social outing.
T. Coraghessan Boyle. I forgot about him. I remember reading a completely funny story of his about Fugu in Harpers. And a book about an illfated grow op. wow. long time ago.
I'm with Swoo: fuck guns and celebs. Gimmee sex. Thank you.

On the metro home, two consecutive failures to pick up men who were almost certainly straight and hence didn't even notice I was trying to pick them up.
I have been known to be that dense... I think, 'Boy, that cad's really got his banter down.' Two minutes later I realize & blush.
You certainly get credit in my book for approaching people! I'm solumnly content to fall in love every 50 ft. Today after lunch, I peeked around bookstalls try figure out to whom a fetching-figure was making eyes at. The object of attention was my girlfriend.
Interview in Australia sounds like an entry I look forward to, my friend!
i've approved you to the SGAU group, come by and introduce yourself when you get the chance.. as far as members in adelaide go, there's tonia and thats about it.. there's been an influx of australian members to the site recently but they're usually quiet, and generally speaking, not interested in the community aspect of SG..
anyways, good luck with everything, and remember melbourne isnt that far from adelaide......

My international adventures in Paris continue. On Friday night I met up with the Polish-German couple out of North Carolina that I met at a recent conference and who are ending their Parisian sjour just as I am beginning mine. I went...

(Sigh) I missed your cutriverness. You are still my number one muthafucking crush. And I am waiting for your hands, Delicious.
Keep Having Fun.

I am glad to hear you are having a lovely time in Paris, and no worries. I know when I head to Costa Rica, my conversations will probably almost come to a complete halt with random updates. I shudder to think how much of everyone I am going to miss out on.

So, apologies, but...

Your thoughts on I, Robot remind me of the series of animated films the Wachowski Brothers produced & co-wrote based on The Matrix. Similar philisophical themes and amazing visuals from anyone even marginally interested in Manga films.
I live less than a half kilometer from an free internet cafe. Being someone who you'd to run coffeehouses for a living, I was terribly jealous of those able to capitalize on free broadband connections as well as hand-delivered pots of ginger tea & biscuits.



I love London, I tried to move there about five years ago but it did not pan out. Whenever I have money I try to go there for a week or two.
I have more but it's 6 am and I feel brain dead.
