On Snippets

of my morning

Shadi: 
talked to po. we decided that if we dont have any thing to do when we've graduated, we'll find a run down flat in prague and live there until things pick up again
we'd explore all mediums of art and expression
without any distractions
other than the decay of wall paper and noisy neighbours.
you can join us

On Sickdom

Being sick and at the whim of your immune system is like letting kids bake in the kitchen. 

First, utter havoc wreaks as things are spilled, toppled over, and thrown around; the messiness is mortifying. 

Then, slowly, things come together as the various processes are streamlined and a coherence in the plan at hand emerges. 

A waiting period ensues, characterised by a sense of stalemate, at the point at which the final product is leavening. Patience is required because not much can be done in the way of speeding things along at this point. Little do the kids know that peaking (or leaving the house) only serves to weaken/prolong the process. 

Finally, after sufficient lapse of time, the final product emerges. Initial assessments will typically involve a sentiment of equal parts excitement and that shoulder-shrug resignation to the obvious imperfections. 

With time, the cookies will cool and (hopefully) take on a more sightly appearance.

On Bori saw Combas

My friend Andrea (affectionately known as 'Bori')
went to a Robert Combas exhibition
in Bratislava, Slovakia yesterday.
She recommended i check him out.
So i did.
And realised:
I would have recommend me to, too.






His work is kind of like
sophisticated highschool art class productions.
The kid that made sure he used all of the crayons
And had his work shown to the rest of the class by the teacher
as a 'good example'.

On Orbit. For Awa.

Im currently addicted to Wrigley's Orbit gum.
We don't have Orbit in Australia. (Do we??? Ive been away too long)
 
Israel has some tantalising flavours. Favourites include:
- Melon
- Apple
- Blueberry
- Peach
- Mixed berries
 
Im trying out combinations to keep things interesting. At present, im smacking apple + blueberry.
To my disappointment, the lesser flavour, blueberry, out-fragrances its more subtle and superior counterpart, apple.  
 
Editor's note:  Awaface, this post was dedicated to you, as requested, because of the astronomy/astrology sub-theme. You better still have that book i got you in Byron.
Also, i need a refresher lesson.
Im rusty on my compatibilities.
