waitingmanFirstly, in response to a not-so-subtle request from my photographic partner-in-crime SarinG,
McCarr's Navy
The only signs of real life on Manly Dam... waterskiers & paddlers don't count...
The oasis on Beacon Hill
News: Not much really. I found out yesterday I didn't get the latest job of my financial dreams, exchanged terse e-mails with an ex-band leader, had a productive acoustic session with a long-time friend/collaborator/singer & got in trouble from her singing teacher the following day for being a bad influence, indirectly, on her singing ability...
Otherwise it's a simple case of "Reduced Income = Reduced Life" I'm not as socially butterfly-like as I would normally be, but have been kind of enjoying spending more time at home at a slower pace than the frenetic schedule & far-flung travelling I throw myself into when I'm in a higher tax bracket.
In a hi-fi store on George St, ZenSiren & I found some componentry "desigined" in Australia & also were reassured to find that audiophile nerds with no people skills are still employed in high-end hi-fishops 'Boutiques'...
At Sydney Uni, a first-year too young to shave in a repro 1966 era Hendrix t-shirt - it brought to mind the ubiquity of Che Guevara shirts/posters/badges that turn up in the counter-culture, usually inappropriately. I was told of a Che t-shirt that, under the iconic image, has the words "Who the f*@k is this guy??". I WANT one!!...
The resurgence in popularity of 'birds-nest hair' amongst the Department of Youth. I'm told it's popular in the burgeoning emo/goth scene. I wonder how much product goes into the look ~ I've always been able to get that effect just by getting out of bed...
An insane U.S. tv show called 'Master of Champions', seen on a store TV. In which a pair of 'drift car' drivers faced off in an indoor studio ~ their cars fitted with a cheese grater on an extended arm, sliding their cars around a 10 pound block of cheese to see who could shave the most off & become the 'Master of Champions' drift car driver...
I finally found out the name of the great sushi/sashimi restaurant I've been to twice in Annandale/Petersham ~ it's called 'Sushi Bar Rashai' & I recommend it to all...
The way Chinatown's Dixon St is becoming like Melbourne's Lygon St, with spruikers out the front of the restaurants ~ in this case the spruikers are mute Chinese waitresses who hold the menu in front of your face as you walk past. A lot quieter than shouting the virtues of your place & probably more effective...
The incongruities of eating Indian food in Chinatown's Market City (well, if SarinG can have sushi in Little Italy...), washed down with insipid Mexican beer, all to the dulcet tones of Ben Folds on the centre's PA...
I want to go to the karaoke bar in Surry Hills where there was a mass fight with stabbings the other night. Sounds like a place where they take their singing seriously!!!
