phenomenal theatre and lost keys....

the divine fish, as supplied by my dear roxy, are gone. they don'twant to let the links in my sidebar work, and the links in my sidebar are my Friends.

i did it - i quit a job. it was doing my head in. too many jobs. far far far too many jobs. i hate quitting jobs so much, especially when my boss is as nice as ken. but, now i no longer feel like i am swinging uppp and dooowwwwwn all day long.

lachlan and i went to a Life Changingly amazing dance piece, 'underneath' on wednesday. only regret being that we didn't go on tue. as well, in order to have seen it both nights. it was a strange mix of butoh and contemporary dance; the dancers had this deep, foot thumping connnection to the ground, but it was theatrical, and funny, and hysterical as well. the bodies became liquid, and moved as though the dancers were fighting between a sense of dissaociation with the body, and a profound knowlege of the physicality and intimacy of the flesh. we walked out in a daze. the music was also incredible.

the big happyness festival of goodness... well. we won't be seeing it. ahem. i don't want to talk about it. (the tickets sold out.) but, never fear, i am going to my cousin's place tonight, for a Pirate Party. i am not a huge fan of parties, but nikhi is the best person ever, so i am going. yes.

tonight and saturday is the 3high festival, which ... i may go to - i really want to see taste of tea - as does lachlan as he has done collaborations with the members, while they have been performing in other bands. but........ i have no one to go with, as lachlan is working. well, until 8ish. we can go late. or, i can just go on my own. which is really not that difficult or painful. i just feel deeply wary of going anywhere in brisbane by myself at night right now, due to the rapists on the loose, and the lack of any apparent police action about it. 29 sexual assults and two rapes in a few months. and there is no huge coverage? no attempt to make as many people as possible aware of it? there was an election looming. hm.

still working on the shawl. still waiting for lachlan to find my paints.
i was locked out of my house on thursday. it's funny. but at the same time, deeply frustrating.

they are playing blue monday in the alibi at the moment. happyface.
