ASTROTURFAHOLICS ANONYMOUS

Today was a fabulous day. My second best friend Chloe picked me up at lunch time, we ate left over pizza, then headed to Belmont in WA to pull apart the opshops.

On the way, we had to make a quick pit stop at the local Astroturf centre to order some turf for an installation that Chloe's working on. On the way out of the centre, we noticed a huge dumpster full of offcuts of super high quality astroturf. We loaded our arms full of the stuff and headed back to Chloe's car to dump it in the boot. When we got to the car, we looked at each other, and both knew that what we had taken was not enough. We were turning into Astroturfaholics, so we jumped in the car, drove back to the dumpster and pulled out every last little bit of turf and shoved it into the car. Apart from the fact that we looked like complete lunatics, we had a LOT of fun.

Then we went opshopping, which was, as always in Perth, the best thing we could have done. So many bargains to be had.

HOLY SHISH MANISH

I don't really have the mind to say anything important right now, but if you haven't heard of Indian designer Manish Arora, i suggest you immediately head straight to his website below. He's been around for years, though only over the past two years has he gained huge international recognition for his wacked out ultra-imaginative designs.

He's up there on my death list, put it that way.

BODY SWAP

"Dear, dear! how queer everything is today!

And yesterday everything happened just as usual: I wonder if I was changed in the night?

Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning?

I think I remember feeling rather different.

But if I’m not the same, who in the world am I?

Ah, that’s the great puzzle!"

Lewis Carroll was a complete a space cadet!

DEAD STUFF

I'm currently on vacation in Perth, just relaxing and visiting friends who live here. After being in Sydney for so long, it really makes me appreciate this big ol' country town. It's so far from the east coast of Australia and, in comparison, so baron and empty.

Yesterday i went to the Western Australian Museum with a friend to look at dead animals and insects. The insects are the most intriguing, the fact that they are so small and still in such perfect condition (without being squashed i mean). My friend said that they suffocate them, so as to not tamper with their natural state, an awful thought.... what if they were claustrophobic? Murder.

My favourite was probably the mice pinned to the diagram on the wall... straight from the lab. Oh, and the last picture (which i think is a baby north-west blower fish) looks like a shriveled old penis with eyes and a mouth.
