number 449 i miss annie
she lives in los angeles now, and usually at this time of year, i would bombard her christmas, her pre christmas, and post christmas time. she'd make me pan forte, and i'd have eaten it by the time i walked up the hill. i might even be lucky enough that on an afternoon where she might not have anything to do, she might have decided to make a salted chocolate tart, and we might just have it for desert or even just for dinner. pretty much, annie can do what ever she likes...
i opened some mail yesterday. now i can alternate between neat and presbyterian.

back in the hood...the excited quartet, were really getting in to the christmas mood. jac kept giving me that look as if she hadn't seen it all before, duo brink inc brought the legs and rene explained to us about the wall of death. then we entered to the hallway of secret missing carpet to find free peanuts.

number 439 candle in the wind
i've had my fortune read a couple of times. i have been to see tarot card readers. i went to the mountains and got an astrology chart done, leaving thinking, 2013 is a hell of a long time away! when i was in year 7, some girls when down in to the spooky shower block and called on a dead teacher to levitate diana weaverly - they levitated her, and freaked the hell out of the other kids. diana growled, bit someone, got suspended and then her family moved back to america.
when my mum was a teenager she played a ouija board, asking who she would marry, and it spelt out 'WEI', my dads initials. my grandmother was crazy about this one fortune teller, and she would only ever tell us this this after she returned 'darling they know things that no one could ever know!' oma had some really good skeletons, we have since learned.
it's always like a small test when you sit down. you being the tester - ok i'm not going to say a word, don't give anything away...so as i got drawn in on melrose place to a small sign that said 'palm readings $10' and turned over my palms i was ready to let it all begin!
i was trying really hard not to focus on if her earrings were actually real cartier and how thick her acrylics were...but when she looked at me and said 'who is the light haired man?' hmm this could now be interesting. more swords, a magician, the grim reaper, more swords, and the light haired man...again! she is like 'gurl who is this light haired man???'
so then - i could see that this was wrapping up. she'd told me everything without me battering even one little eye lid...'what i need for you to do is come and see me. this is something that you can do at home, but it is pivotal in you moving forward and not creating any blockages'...was very prepared for this part
'well i actually leave town tomorrow'
'oh i told you there was travel involved, when are you back?'
'i'm not sure'
'you can come to see me before you leave, what time is your flight?'
eeek, i was now beginning to blow my bluff...
'honey you need to let me give you the recipe for the spell!!!'
spell?? when did we ever discuss me making a spell??? i thought the light haired man was just going to come on by - you said 2 weeks!! i don't need any more spells!
the price kept dropping for the essential spell. she was a good sales woman. she almost had me giving her my phone number...'call me, you need to call me'
torn - but a big flash of winona ryder in reality bites really went crazy through my veins...i got up, paid her and was like 'you told me everything i already knew - i don't need no spell, the future is right here!'
and i may or may not have paid another $10 for her to light a candle for me that night!!

number 434 slave to love
women were making love to the air, men were making love to their women. he looked straight at us during avalon, and all i could imagine was him in his underpants practicing his moves in the mirror thinking 'i've still got it'.
he totally still had it and when i shook his hand in my best amanda lear way, my knees went weak.

number 433 jaguar phat skull
phat skull and i go way back.
i was there when he was chosen at birth plucked from the cat shelter. i held him in the box on the way back from newtown to his new home of amazing parents the zawadas. i was there when he was named 'phat skull'. i was even there when his dark familiar shadow appeared at our front door, relieving the pain of 3 days wondering how we would convince annie and jonathan that the cat we might be delivering back to them, was not in fact a substitute cat - but the gorgeous one they had left in our responsible hands while celebrating their love for one another in fiji.
phatty, farnes, barns and a whole bunch of other names still don't like people to mess with him.
especially not the hose...he wouldn't let me back in the front door.

number 428 wham bam sam's your man
my first proper flat mate was tall and he was called sam. back in adelaide as a young boy wondering what path his life would take, a light bulb came on when he saw iggy pop gyrating on the rage intro...he shot to fame in the early 90's with super acid jazz groove band dig and he can still slap the bass on cue.
we lived in a very big flat on campbell parade, a long time ago. annalise braakensiek was our neighbour and bondi was really happening. sam kindly gave us the front room with the view, but secretly i think he knew that people liked to throw bottles at windows 3 stories up and motorbikes used to like to crash there at 4am...
on the ground level of our building was a bank. the building decided that they wanted to remove the safe and make the bank in to a shop. every day i would sneak out of the house at the exact time that the choir of jack hammers and obscenities would chime from my bed and sam's bed down the hall.
he liked to look out the window on to the campbell pde promenade and sing a song...'touch the peni in public.' there are plenty more of these songs where this came from that he now passes on to the likes of christina aguilera and other pop stars...
well today is his day...
***happy birthday mr dick!

number 427 the swimming pond
i kept being told 'no seriously listen, this weather is crazy we need to go for a swim'...swimming in the middle of london, in somewhere that you can bathe sounded very english and pretty nice.
so i got taken to a heath. next thing it was all anyone was talking about 'oh the heath is amazing,' 'oh we went to the heath on sunday' 'see you at the heath' 'i like to have sex in the bushes of the heath'...
it was a very beautiful wonderful grand back yard that used to belong to the kings butler. and on my first day i went to swim there. ducks and me don't mix so much, so i left it to the others.

'still don't have any internet'for half an hour straight.

number 423 doom zoom to red rock
once as a child i cried all the way up this mountain because i thought we were going to fall off. all i could envisage was barrel roll after barrel roll, down the rocky gorge and an explosion of wild proportions into a fire ball that no one would ever find.
i re lived that moment out the back of some snowy mountain, on a clear kythirian day. terrain like moon scapes, to get to a cliff edge that had a small dirt road with no end in sight - but straight down...i was like i'm cool...all i could think was the rav 4 was going to get one little wheel off the hair pin turn and barrel roll a hundred times and end up in the bottom of the rocky gorge and explode into a wild fire ball that no one would ever find!
doom, zoom - straight down was the skillful drivers technique. i just closed my eyes tight, held my breath and opened them to this! (and a couple of nudists).

there was much talk that robbie should change his name to gould. pretty much he seems like a grogan to me. the grogan gould's are an incredible duo. carnivore to the wonderful herbivore/chef extraodinaire. robbie told an amazing story of him as a 7 year old phantom of the opera obsessed child. edwina told stories of antagonising brothers to a point that caused smashing windows with dice...we played charades in a castle and drove doom zoom down a cliff to red rock. we saw a ship wreck caused by a drunk greek sailor, ate figs off trees and squashed grapes into fresh grape juice.

small planes used to scare me like crazy - now i like the feeling of a tail fanging out whilst flying low between mountains. we waited on a tarmac for 2 hours, while one propellor wouldn't start. i was happy. prefer to really know that both propellors were going to work before flying over some heaven blue water - now i think, if that plane is going to fall out of the sky, things have been good. eaten some good food, had some fun, been in love, learnt to sleep in, carried some heavy bags and got in to some trouble.
the plane landed.

is one thing you learn to have to deal with in big cities.
secret whistles, someone has a really obvious one at approx 11.04pm every night.. the people across from me feed their kids at 11.12pm on their bed. i know that the guy on the roof saw more than he probably thought he would at 5pm on a sunday afternoon. what i don't know is if the guy that keeps looking out his window across the road, can actually see in to my apartment that's only lit by my computer screen. it's pretty close here. but it's too hot to care.

they hurt like crazy. it doesn't matter if they have been worn in, and hurt even more if they have been worn in NOT on your foot. why why why do they hurt soooo much, until they have belonged to you and stink like never before, and then are the most comforting shoe you could ever own.
i wore my new old razor vans on a long walk like an idiot. blisters...none, but the pain...RAZORS. then i laughed uncontrollably at a stranger who was doing the same razor vans walk as i was doing a couple of hours prior. sorry stranger hip man who i laughed really loud at for walking funny...i was just feeling your pain.

number 407 redfern irene
right now, changing a flight and leaving La Zawadas, to just encounter some drizzle seems pretty stupid. people boarding up their shops and taping their windows also seems kind of dramatic when there has not even been a flash of lightning...yet...mass purchasing of supplies and the only shop open with a queue around the corner was the deli on mulberry street. so i fell into the trap...all of a sudden i felt like maybe i better join in on this if i want to eat before monday. there is no one in new york. irene sure isn't here.
i can see my old house from my window and the humidity is just the same. i'm not allowed to have any parties...'Please also not walls and floors are thin and you should use caution with noise. There are to be no parties or loud music during your stay there. We have long term tenants and do not want anyone to be bothered.' got it.
so right now, there is nothing to do except stay in and wait...and play my music softer than the rain.
