Ascot Vale, AUSTRALIA

Returned to Melbourne

Posted almost 2 years ago

It was too hard, so I gave up looking for a place…
Drove back to Melbourne via Coffs Habour, Newcastle, Canberra and Albury: 1900kms.
Boy, am I glad to be home.
The cold sucks though.


Moved to Brisbane

Posted almost 2 years ago

I have moved to Brisbane.
Well, I’m trying.
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which Melbourne’s climate (cold) was making worse.
I drove up in May, did some WWOOFing in Nambour, then came back to Brisbane and started looking for a share house.

Black Is Good

Posted about 4 years ago

I’ve been getting into black food lately. By that I mean food that is black in colour.

It started when my Chinese Medicine doctor-in-training recommended sesame seeds. In Chinese medicine sesame seeds are moistening. My doctor mentioned that black sesame seeds were better for you than white. I’d seen white sesame seeds but I thought they were the only kind.

I went to the Minh Phat Chi…

The Human Tendency To Define Equals No Wonder

Posted about 4 years ago

The human tendency to define reduces the wonder of the world.

Instead of seeing a unique flower, we see a daisy which is basically the same as all other daisies.

Posted about 4 years ago

I’m thinking about ideas for abstract videos at the moment.

I want to have a wave moving. Possibly a mirror effect. I’m thinking of using still images to form the wave, or maybe video.

I’m wondering what natural or manmade structure I can use that has a wave that repeats or makes up part of the curve…

If I use video it’ll probably be from a digital still camera at VG…

Great Snacks #1

Posted about 4 years ago

I’ve been going to the Victoria Market each Saturday for about 6 weeks to get my organic supplies. One of the bread shops in the Deli Hall has an “Organic Wheat (Sour)” bread loaf that is pretty fine. I get it cut for toast.

1. I toast the bread in my Tefal toaster (it has an electronic timer with orange display that counts down the time and then beeps).
I like to toast until th…
