Monday bloody monday

So I am heading to Centrelink this morning to get on the dole.
Guns n Roses playing on my MP3 player.
As I get on the 109 Tram I sneeze and blood starts pissing out of my nose everywhere.
I haven't had a nose bleed for years so it freaked the shit out of me.
After about five minutes of dripping blood into a plastic bag, an old man and an Asian lady helped me with tissues and told me to tilt my head.
The blood stopped dripping after a while.

Soon after I cleaned myself up in the Centrelink toilets and wiped the blood off my camera
with a paper towel.
Kendall at Centrelink was very helpful.
But when I said it would be much easier to apply for a gun than get a dole payment he was not amused...

Clocktower.

Was bored tonight so I filmed Fitzroy Town Hall Clocktower around seven.
You can hear me deep breathing Vader style as the wind blows and some purple light flows in.
Have a watch.
Turn up the volume.

All A Pile of Cheese.

Hello.
Last night we all partied like 1999 but that's another story.
I'm currently listening to The Police, drinking warm coke and smoking a Champion Gold.
Today I got a discount roll $2.50 and mocha coffee from Coles cheap as chips

Went the National Gallery in the city, checking out various crucifixions whilst Eminem
blared from my MP3 player.
There was some kind of peace rally at federation square.
Boring but ran into an old friend.
Thought it was gonna rain but I only felt the one drop the whole time.

On the way back on the tram there was a large teenage girl dressed as Michael Jackson
and a girl with a silver hat and suit.
Fuck knows where they were going.
Going to see Courtney play at the Blue Tile lounge later if I can borrow ten bucks for a soda.
As Ice Cube said "It was a good day, no-one got shot"
Oh yeah last night I dreamt Johnny Cash was trying to disguise as his dead brother
for tax reasons. But no-one was fooled.
Weird shit.

Thriller in the rain

I don't get people who hate rain.
A bus driver and I were chatting once and he told me that it keeps the idiots inside.
In the film Ghost Dog, there's the thing about how walking in the rain you get just as wet as running so you might as well just walk.
I don't carry an umbrella with me I just think it's a negative thing to do.
I'm just not an umbrella person.
I had one once and it turned inside out so I threw it into the river.
I have a hat now though, in case the sun comes out.

Creepy Old Style Magic Horn Cartoon

Mr Piper and the Magic Horn

Bat For Lashes marry me!

Please...She is a goddess.

Bat For Lashes and not just for vanity reasons, the Daniel song she does
hits me right here.

Melbourne is Neverland to me...

Being a country boy I find Melbourne to be a big free amusement park.
Getting around on Trams is a fun ride.
Federation Square has an awesome giant tv with trippy ads and weird bent buildings all around.
There are weirdo buskers and freaks of all kind and on Smith Street and you can walk down the road in your pyjamas and people barely blink at you and you wonder if you are dreaming.
I love the 7/11, the cheap food and the absurd magnificence of it all.
