gilpies: The divine Ms Krall!
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2010/03/divine-ms-krall.html
Monday, March 8, 2010. The divine Ms Krall! The other night N and I went to see Diana Krall. A very kind friend of ours gave us some tickets, and despite the laziness that had crept into our bones we extracted ourselves from the couch, closed our eyes to Seinfeld re-runs and headed out Boondall-way to hear some music. When we first arrived Madeleine Peyroux was scatting around, revving the crowd with her quirky brand of jazz/blues/soul, it tasted good! And her musicians too! But, it was Krall who was the...

gilpies: January 2009
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. Brisbane. you're so hot right now. Hola Guapos et Guapas. Welcome to Gilpies. N and I decided to start this space so that we, and other Brisbane people we like can post writing, photos, gig guides, reviews, and stories. We feel that there is an extreme deficiency of discussion about culture, and life in general in our city, and we hope to fill that void a little. If you'd like to have something posted, please email us at gilpies@gmail.com. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

gilpies: August 2009
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2009. Well, it was a fair while ago now that we set this space up ready to 'blog it up' with information about things we love to do in Brisbane and our lives generally. Unfortunately life got larger than we could have imagined and lots of things, including this blog, had to be put on hold for awhile. But, by goodness, we're back baby! When the Flower Beetles Flowered II, Sarah Mitchell, 2009. Plays, and this month it was woodwind and brass. Sarah also told the audience a little abo...

gilpies: February 2010
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. And then the scales fell from her eyes. Today I started meditating again. It’s been a long time coming. We have been tossed about by the world for the last 12 months, we have raged against things, worried, cried, fought; but still I did not turn to meditation to calm me and really, goodness knows why I didn't? The trigger for this act was oddly banal. On Friday night we were out shopping for shoes, and it suddenly became clear how much meditation was needed in my life. So I w...

gilpies: Choice
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2010/04/courage-under-fire.html
Tuesday, April 13, 2010. And there wasn’t. Not this day anyway. With a bit more forward planning it might have been possible, but we didn’t plan and instead found ourselves entering a supermarket on Easter Saturday afternoon. But really we did. So, we sucked it up and recognised that the great ogre next door really was our only option at this point. It was N’s birthday too, and we were having some family for drinks, and supplies were desperately required. Therefore, as a birthday treat, I t...I basically...

gilpies: The campers life.
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2010/01/campers-life.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. So, we went camping last week - hurrah, hurrah! We headed south to Northern NSW, convoying with friends from Sydney, the boys in the van and the chicks following close behind in the commodore, until we descended upon Brokenhead for a week of gloriousness and pleasure. I realised, that even on this short trip, I got to know myself better when I was away from the distractions and responsiblities that I fill my life with. Thinking about this makes me incredibly excited about th...

gilpies: October 2009
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 30, 2009. Marriage and happy ever after. Today I took my Granny to see the gorgeous movie. With the truly glorious Meryl Streep and the darling Amy Adams. It tells the story of Julia Child - an American who learnt to cook in Paris, circa 1950ish, and revolutionised cooking in America by showing Americans the French way with food. I tell you this because I do not wish anyone reading this to think that we see marriage as essential to a meaningful, commited relationship, nor are we religious...

gilpies: A new start!
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-start.html
Friday, January 1, 2010. Well, it has been over a month since I wrote anything for Gilpies - which is truly a terrible effort. We are now in the lovely new year of 2010 which has crept up all too quickly, but I have already decided is going to be amazing. After two years of pretty hard times I am ready for a different kind of year. A year of wonder. Anyway, we have decided. That 2010 is a new start for us. Let's see, shall we! I have planned our meals, and N has tried to organise all the bits and pieces ...

gilpies: Little life
http://gilpies.blogspot.com/2010/02/little-life.html
Sunday, February 7, 2010. We have not shared a lot of our everyday life on this blog. It tends to be about big moments, or reflections on events or experiences. But right now I am very much over big moments, changes and major events. I am instead looking forward to everyday life for awhile. Even some of the things I raged against after our holiday because I found them so dull. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). EXHIBTION u-tsu-wa : tetsuya and momoko otani. Chasing away salt water. New poetry blog is up!
