a week of good satisfying conversation
I love that about melbourne
with emer and dom and nic at bimbo deluxe
talking about being asked my ideologie
and how the great thing about bridge project
is that it can mean anything to anyone
... what's your ideology, they said to say next time
going for world peace and an end to poverty

later that week, again in bimbo (they have great $4 pizza)
talking with jonathon about the close friends I have who work
to actually make the world a better place
and how indulgent my life seems in comparison
- a common theme I know but recurring concern -
and we decided that artists provide inspiration for everyone
he said it's great for the rest of us, to know that artists are out there
doing exactly what you want to do - and maybe that is enough
owen and steve from wetgate at the public office last night
offering suggestions for bridge related tangents
invite people to send recordings and video - I like that
and apparently bill fontana has been trying for years to get a sound bridge wired up on the golden gate, meetings with cisco, the bridge authority, whole area is networked but bypasses the bridge itself
and various other setbacks - his work is more ambient sound, not the cables/ good to have a point of difference from all the other bridge sound geeks out there :)
I've been dreaming of a more domestic life, baking, sewing - decided that's my new hobby - it's small scale, immediate, tactile and productive - you get stuff to eat and wear. bridget said, you don't seem conflicted at all though, really accepting where you are.
talking about never really being unpacked - always on the road
intro to liquid architecture concert tonight nat said he listed me as being from 'the world' as there didn't seem to be one place that was home. someone else asked where is home? it's where I'm standing.
or where you feel at home - that would be helsinki, berlin.... and melbourne. lovely being back here, run into someone interesting every time I leave the house. it's very soothing to feel so connected.
