Today is Day 33 that I’ve been back in Brisbane. As can be confirmed prior to me leaving in October… I’m done with this town. The weather has been FABULOUS as have the frequent bush romps in coastal wonderlands north and south of me… but I need to move.
The move requirement is distracting from my work. Since I’m old now, I can make generalized cliche Artist statements like ‘I can’t work in these conditions!’ and ‘It’s critical that such and such happens…’
Therefore I have officially cracked shit that it’s go time.
Luke leaves tomorrow morning for Melbourne. I leave Monday. That means yet another unsupervised weekend… I figure I might as well hit town since I’m manifesting an ASAP move…
Ok who am I kidding… I hardly need a reason to hit town. There have been a few whispers
of beach trips and cocktails and casinos…
… should be interesting.
In terms of Writing…
I have new ideas that I’m not going to start experimenting until I move to Melbourne (next week hopefully?). Editing, script, and research proposal are meant to be at the forefront of my existence. At the moment I’m having a hard time focussing because the requirement to move is consuming mucho energy…
Which basically means I’m still writing a lot of poetry…

We went and saw Alice in Wonderland. I heart Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
After seeing the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA in New York City a few weeks ago, I was super excited. I literally beamed in delight when WALT DISNEY PICTURES came up on the movie screen. Continue reading…

Last night started off with climbing trees and ended up with karaoke. And for the record I do NOT sing karaoke. I have no
issue standing in front a New York City crowd and spitting funnies… but you will never find me propped between a mic stand and a host named Eddie leading the room in a chorous of We are the champions. Continue reading…

I’ve been considering going to some open mics. I may have mentioned previously my logic for getting into stand-up comedy. Mainly it’s direct feedback for Writing. I’ve said time and time again I don’t really care what type of Writing I’m doing, as long as my time involves building things with words, I’m usually happy. Continue reading…

The other night I mentioned on Twitter that I was going to write a story about a staircase and a balmy night. Then I got distracted and wrote some book.
In any event, every evening where I presently reside is balmy at the moment. It’s quite lovely when the sun goes down.
Here is how recent PM hours inspired my poetry… Continue reading…

Autumn is rocking my world. When I left Brisbane the Jacarandas were just starting to bloom. So far they’re my favorite tree in Australia, something about purple flower leaves is lusciously electric. However…
since I am a bias New Englander / autumn baby / Halloween worshiper … they don’t hold a candle to anything like this – Continue reading…

Since I’m leaving so soon, I’ve been catching up with friends over the past few days. My catch up yesterday involved vodka, guava, and guaranas ; a fully clothed river dip; and the reassurance that only your mates can offer. Continue reading…
