No longer living out loud

Date August 1, 2011

or how time, the web, things have changed. Even before the internet, I spent a lot of time in my head. Then I spent a lot of time online. The internet in the late 90s taught me lots of things. The early 00s brought me an online network of like minded people who inspired me [...]

Flood

Date January 20, 2011

The past few weeks my city has been inundated, taken by a deluge, paralysed. We, luckily were unaffected, isolated, without power for a day- but dry, comfortable, and fearless. I know people who were stressed, panicked, isolated, homeless and lost everything- I feel for them.

By way of explaination…..

Date March 22, 2010

I have a feeling I wish I could explain I try to spirit it away with logical reasons that seem all too indulgent- I’m plagued by first world problems Deadline season- an overwhelming sense of obligation- Not enough time to exercise But my choice of social engagements Too much good food and too few green [...]

Time to begin

Spring is here

Date September 3, 2008

It arrived all of a sudden. Now my wonderful business suite seem useless, I’ve left my coat at home, and the numbers on the scales are making me nervous. Meanwhile, I don’t know if it was the fireworks on the weekend, but the city itself has taken on a lease of life as well. People [...]

Extingushed

Date August 27, 2008

It’s funny how the mundane and extreme can bore us. I’ve had a few late nights and dsiruption to my schedule- which has slowed me down a little. MIL’s surgery and prognosis is good, Dad’s back in the country for a couple of weeks before jetting off and my contract is slowly coming to an [...]

Heart of the city

Date August 25, 2008

Even though I’ve lived in Brisbane on and off for over 10 years- I never feel like I’ve got to the heart of the city until now. I ran through the city on my way to work for over 3 years, and I like to come in occasionally, but I’ve never really had a good [...]

Bubbling over

Date August 18, 2008

It seems that my brain is bubbling over at the moment. I’m not sure why. Knock wood, I’m hoping the flood gate have burst and my little bit of creative block is over. I’ve got a whole list of blogging and photo topics to think about, but while my brain is ticking away, let me [...]

Brakes and breaks

Date July 16, 2008

It seems something always puts the brakes on what I want to do. I was sick through to Tuesday- brakes on skating and the new job. Already I’ve broken my promise to walk and record. I missed the perfect photograph. Instead of being grateful I’m feeling a little unloved and resentful. I wish I could [...]

Changes

Date July 15, 2008

It’s been a while. I guess 2008 is going to be one of those years- not one thing, but lots of little things eating away at me. Like being nibbled to death by ducks. So I’m trying to change- change me, my habits, my situation, my mood. That’s hard. So today I ….. started my [...]
