I've got 15 hours to pack my room, clean my house, do all the pesky domestic chores, hand in my RIPE forms ... and sleep. Guess which one takes precedence. =P

****************

Should i actually be bothered to do all the nitty gritty domestic humdrums? given that they only use the apartment to catch their 8 hour/7 hours/6 hours' sleep and they may not even care ... hey, for all i know, they might know i blog here and might be reading this this very moment! ha how about that? if you're reading this could you give me yr opinion in the comments box? or better yet, tell me in person. haha! yah!

Queen victoria market in melbourne, Australia has a new stall of nuts, muesli and dried/dehydrated fruits! It's in the upper shed, row K i believe, nearer the meat section than the opposite side (queen st? the end with the pub and nando's) ... they have the most amazing range of things including vegetable chips (which i should get at some point for my bro). And i saw dried strawberry pieces as well!!! Most of them cost abt AUD$22.40 a kilo .. which is reasonable considering 20kg of fresh fruit usually yields 1kg of dried fruit. Try it try it try it! The muesli mixes look tempting as well.

Next project: black and white photos of melbourne. Pub at QVM (for chink!), a long-exposure one at NikeMelbourne (where else?), a breadtop shopfront, the weird signs at the wing cheong alley in chinatown, maybe a long one down a stretch of lygon st, crown casino (in the day or at night?). I'd like a shot of docklands from a bird's eye view... half constructed. The river yarra at dusk, with all the bats (do i have an obsession with bats?) . A tram trundling to a stop at the end of the line. The state library, with its retinue of public speakers on a weekend afternoon. The unsheltered homeless on swanston and russell sts. Rude waiting staff in chinatown. The parks in and around the city - botanic parliament fitzroy flagstaff carlton princes. My buddies and my friends (the parks i mean). Would this be the concluding chapter of my foray into place poetry?
