blog from the dead

yes hello friends now!

I know, i have not been to blogging for long time. but am back!

today is a blustery spring melbourne day. it's hot. it's cold. it's sunny. it's raining. there's some dude with a thick scottish accent using an angle grinder on my lanai. normal times!

yesterday was my third anniversary. to celebrate, we piked on the plans we had and ate dinner at Rumi, where they served us skewered quail in orange sauce. this i recommend eating. then we watched the Incredible Hulk which was almost perfectly wretched. tonight, cheryl is in town. some guy she met at burning man flew her out here for a few weeks. i knew there was still a reason to go to burning man! i would have guessed it was "prolific nudity" and "filth wallowing" but i was wrong. it's free airtickets to australia. damn. i should have gone!

also, our new australian accountant has told us that we only owe 60% of what we thought we'd owe. this means we have more than no money! perhaps it also means we will come home in february for a wedding. or at least one of us will. if we had gone to burning man and got free airtickets, then we could both go. as it is, the future remains hazy with a low chance of prolific nudity.

since i last blogged, i've started doing cinema jejune again; a regular film viewing thing at our place. here, most people have not seen many great films. like Brazil. the Wild Bunch. 8 1/2. unseen! will there be enough time to show all these great movies? no. no there will not.

with the news today, i feel like i should cancel this weekends scheduled feature (the Apartment) in favor of Trading Places.

everyone loves a market collapse! i'm going to invest heavily in orange juice futures. if you see clarence beeks, tell him i'm looking for him.
