mmmmmmm mangoes yummmmm.
however jaded I am by Sydney, there are certain things that make it all worthwhile and 5 mangoes for $4 at paddys market is one of them. or 5!
getting to work on production for pw over ichat with sophea in helsinki is also good - although that could happen anywhere. now I have a table to complete - very strange, but I really love filling in forms and entering information. something about the sense of order. and it has to be for a project I'm interested in - not just pure data entry. but even that can be soothing in it's own way. as any activity becomes when you pay attention and get into it. really enjoying my new zen studio, why do I only get it together 3 weeks before moving out? ah well. onto brighter and different things. it's been a winding path with many detours to get here, but am finally really on the way. to where you ask? all will be revealed. someday.
For now, congratulations to Casey! YAY - 16 year old Aboriginal girl with an amazing voice and totally unique style voted Australian Idol - we were so proud last night. Thank god all the pretty boys and bland blonde girls who couldn't really sing got voted off - this country has come a long way. It's a strange cultural phenomenon, and yes, everybody really is famous for 15 minutes. But that's about all you need these days.
So, there you have it, my secret trash heart - oh and the O.C. which finishes this week. Time to start getting out and enjoying the warm summer evenings. Thanks to the person who wrote and told me what that video clip was with the girl in ny walking around carrying this enormous heart - I can't remember again, but it's somewhere in my email and now I've learnt to use the search button there, life is a lot easier.
Time to go and edit Archie now (Archie Pellagio aka archipelago) dive back into the floating entertainment vessel for 700 media artists cruising through the Baltic. Then lunch and meeting with the wonderful Ben and Sole. Talking through CD production issues with Ben. It's all coming together now, you'll be glad to hear :)
