I have scribbled a few things down, and now is probably the time to get them out.
From (I think) late last year (Written on my phone):
I have never liked Newcastle as a city.
It is only because everyone I speak to seems to think it is so nice that I even considered living here. Every time I come, I remember how sad town it is.
Today has been a typical newcastlo day. It is too hot, I an bored and hungry, I have wandered aimlessly for most of The day, and I cannot find out the info I came for.
I was sitting on some steps when I saw a sign fall over, and felt so dejected by the atmosphere of the town that I simply let it fall . I didn't move to pick it up until I saw someone else struggling. When I helped him, neither he nor I said a word to each other. I fear this seems to typify the town. In fact, I have been here for a few hours now, and not one person has said a single word. Now, I an beginning to wonder; is this really where I want to live?
As a result of this boring day, I decided I'll be moving to Sydney. See you there.
If you are searching for love: this is not the way.
In the past few weeks, I have seen a few good bands, a few good comedians, and a few good movies.
The bands include Grinspoon, Old Man River and The Herd, amongst many others. I really need to get back into the habit of bringing my camera to gigs. This post is long and boring without photographic interjection.
One of the comedians was Wil Anderson, who gave a hopelessly underwhelming show. Another was Adam Hills, who'se show was one of the best I've seen. There were others who were generally either good or bad or good and then bad. I'd like to go into detail, but I'm too tired, so I'll leave it at that.
As for movies, I saw Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" last on Monday (which left me desperately craving pizza), and last night saw two more films. One was "The International", which has one of the best action sequences of any film I've seen, and overall makes for reasonable mindless viewing. The other was NOTORIOUS, which was more interesting than I expected, but I didn't expect much.
Also since moving to Sydney, I got a job doing odd jobs and helping out in an office (on a two day contract, which then became three weeks - egad I'm good), finished up there, and now have a part time job. I'm contractually bound in confidentiallity, so I best not post details on the interweb.
Well that should get the ball rolling again.
I feel I just needed to get started and maybe now I'll be able to get posting more frequently.
Take care,
Carpe Diem (We all need that subtle reminder once in a while),
