Tomorrow I have an appointment at Columbia University to discus their MFA program. I already have an MA but in the world of getting paid to lecture I’ve learned an MFA is required. Apart from the bazillions of dollars universities suck dry out of us, I enjoy studying. I need to stay in school. It brings a unique structure to my work, and learning stuff is fun.

And imagine if I got into Columbia? Talk about some shit… Continue reading…

First thing’s first – brief rant:

I tend to fly solo. Perhaps this is a common trait of Writers? Not sure. Furthermore, I don’t sleep. On certain days, like today, this creates a striking crimson backdrop to my green irises.

Minding my own business this evening wandering blocks of brief encounters with many people I haven’t seen for years, I was approached by a handful of strangers… which I am ordinarily all for.

In the midst of the fuzziness from looking around, taking in what I can, putting on my track shoes, and preparing to sprint… I inhaled deeply today.

Although I am by no means a practicing Catholic and anti-organized religion all together, I grew up with traditions that I naturally carry on. This includes enormous Easter lunches.

As a kid I got dragged to church every year and I remember dreading Easter mass worse than any other because it went on for AGES!! These days I’m just all about the food… Amen! Continue reading…

Once upon a time I lived in a one bedroom cottage on Separation Street in Northcote and would peddle push bikes to Dan Murphy’s in Fairfield after my car got stolen, used in a robbery, and lit on fire in front of the Melbourne Zoo.

That was when I lived in Collingwood… Continue reading…

I 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…
