A creative space
I want to paint the room down here, warm up the space a bit. I want to make it this creative space for working, studying, dreaming, whatever.
I’m a big fan of Sibella Court, so I’m looking to her books for inspiration.
I’m thinking of Mexico, of India. So it’ll be warm colors - terra-cotta, ochres, burnt sienna maybe a surprise splash of lime or turquoise.
A vision...
what is the what.
so i’ve been thinking about getting a few things done this year. i think it’s nice to start out the year being hopeful, aiming high. i don’t know where i got this notion that wanting to accomplish something was cliched and pretentious. Well, i guess that’s where i got myself, never accomplishing anything (well if that there isn’t a AHA moment, i don’t know what...
night shift
it’s been a while since i’ve posted anything on here. it’s now 2012. Happy 2012. Fuck 2011. No seriously, fuck it. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Career-wise, not a great year for me, let’s be honest. On the upside, T and I got married!
i learnt a lot of important lessons last year. How one shouldn’t be cocky - that there is no certainty in the...

last night a woman was dying in front of us. standing away and apart from it all whilst it was all happening, i couldn’t help but think shit - we’re just going through the motions here. -i- am just going through the motions here. ‘let’s just do what we do.’
And here this woman was, dying in front of us now, when barely 2...

Sydneysider.
Today, I arrived in Sydney to attend a 3 day trauma management course which starts tomorrow. I’ve been to Sydney many times before but never on my own. Also, never on my own paycheck. It feels good, and a little more free.
It could be that I’m renting a car here for the first time ever that’s made the difference. Seeing the city behind the wheel certainly puts a fresh take on...

From a shiny country: bits and pieces, clarity
too much distraction in the world today. difficult to focus on what’s really really important. there are some hard truths that need to be realised, but i don’t think many people are hard enough for them. it’s hard to stay authentic, hard to stay real. Too much sheen on things. the gloss, the shine.
pleasure is transient, but true happiness lasts forever. i think people see the...
