it's a steamy rainy evening in sydney, perfect for drinking mango and strawberry daiquiris with lisa. we needed something in the face of incipient homelessness - mine is more by choice, just slightly ahead of time, but she's a bit stressed by it all. Things change very quickly sometimes, it takes a while to catch up. Picked up a book of quotes by some yogi at Sole and Ben's yesterday - after immersing ourselves in the ocean, so invigorating and gorgeous - anyway, the wise one said something like: uncertainty is the only certainty , and if you look for anything else you will be disappointed. Sometimes you're better able to deal with it than others.
I've stumbled into a strange pool of tranquility, and am completely energised by sorting through old piles of papers in my study and tonight just threw half my wardrobe in a heap for the garage sale. It's amazing how many clothes you can accumulate and never wear. Really going to do my best to not collect more stuff.
Yes, you've heard that before. But this time, the bridge nomad goes seriously minimal.
Hello! to all my new friends listening to public radio in north america - thanks for the emails of support and encouragement.

Thinking about a new title for this work: bridges are nice.

hmmm, maybe not. then it morphed into 'brides on ice'.

Onto serious art matters - the remix CD is sounding fantastic! It's a deliciously wild trip from raver dance beats, through industrial grunge noise, to glitchy bleeps and minimal electronica. finishing with the transcendent sounds of my very favourite co-inspirator.

Remember, there is always fabulating potential! :)
