everyone in the house has flipped into some kind of delirious state.
lisa's writing heavy metal lyrics for her fireman friend, in between supervising the on-line and post-production for a doco. so far the titles are: nasty girl; you're not my friend; and die asshole die. hmmmm maybe reflecting a little stress there. louise and haysie have cousin reece visiting, and sister shari came down for the aboriginal islander dance co gig with erth at the carriagworks yesterday, and they're all making strange whistling sounds and giggling a lot. Rachel is still in malaysia visiting family, we assume she'll be back eventually. I'm working on my decadent tendencies; having felt compelled to drink all the red wine and whisky I could find in the house after lou reed the other night (which wasn't much luckily, 1/3 glass and 2 shots respectively), I'm now on the chateau cardboard with ice. mmmm classy. listened to the choppers for hours on saturday night, searchlights on high beam as someone had shot at a cop, so the entire suburb went into lockdown. the paper reported it as a minor incident, nothing like the riots a few years ago and not an indication that the crime rate was rising. don't want to scare away those property developers now, do we. or the new theatre crowd, who still look a little incongruous and nervous walking down from redfern station. no, actually it's good that the whole 'ghetto' mentality is slowly breaking down, this is possibly the only area in sydney I'd want to live.

excellent, the girls are going out for apple crumble and ice cream. wilson st crew, you rock!

had some fabulous epiphanies out walking this evening, am almost certain that I saw the comet from sydney uni footbridge - it was hovering near the new moon, all yellow-orange with a pulsing shimmery tail. this project inventory is fantastic, I've realised that basically I just need an international team of bridge collaborators to shr all these wild experiences with, so working on the entourage now.
applications will be considered, if you bring special skills, experience or buckets of cash. other offers taken under consideration privately :)
might as well enjoy this strange sonic art celebrity while I can.
thinking a bevy of toyboys in every city across europe.

here's a cute endorsement from my long-suffering travel agent, the very gorgeous and fabulous marc at newtown flight centre:

"Have I told you how much I love your life!
You need to write a biography!
It would ROCK!!
