Leaps And Bounds: November 2007

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. It’s the end of the highway…. There is an American folky, country band called the Creekdippers. They have a great, sort of campfire sing-a-long feel to their songs. They have one called The End Of the Highway, and I have been slowly swaying around Sydney, singing it to myself. With one little, minor, lyrical change. 8220;That’s the end of the highway, Howard. Please nod off like the old Generals do. Being elected on th...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Who Do You Love? I have fallen in love with Doctor Who. 6 months ago I’d never seen a second of the show. As of the current writing, there is probably nothing in the silly world of pop culture more important to me. I think it’s a bit more like finishing your food. But being here, one of the things I wanted to do was get into British culture. I’ve been watching British movies. Buying best of CDs by bands li...And Doctor ...

Leaps And Bounds: Melbourne
http://leapsbounds.blogspot.com/2008/11/melbourne.html
Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Friday, November 28, 2008. A friend asked me to write a few thoughts about Melbourne for possible publication. Here's what I wrote. Melbourne must seem exotic to most parts of the world. But it’s most exotic to the people of Sydney. The (two) centuries old argument of which is better – Sydney or Melbourne? But many would argue that it’s all about the north! The symbolic heart is the suburb of Fitzroy, with the long Brunswick Street full of all ma...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Monday, December 31, 2007. You’re kidding yourself cos everything else is old. I really loved the song “The World Is Outside” by Ghosts this year. It’s been on my mind a lot lately, the way people get stuck in their own heads. Especially at this time of year. It’s a reflective time. So reflective, it seems, that this time of year there is a spike in the number of suicides. Can’t let old ghosts drag you down. 8220;The World Is Outside” makes...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Saturday, March 24, 2007. This is actually an old piece that I wrote a couple of weeks ago but I've decided to publish it. This is a term I’ve made up, and it’s something I think about a lot. Definitivism is the degree of how definitive something is; that is the best and most effective run of a recurring, serialised medium. You know, it’s when a TV show was the best. It happens in the 20s, right? This photo fascinates me. It mirrors so much o...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. For Kim and Lisa. Just like every girl I’ve ever met. She had the names for her kids all set. Two seconds and a first for two boys and a girl. All future husbands will just have to accept. Funny how a name can recur through a life. I refer to experience that they’re all alike. Good guys named Ben and sweethearts named Em. Familiar names tend to make good friends. Remember the time we found that book in that store. I have d...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Thursday, May 22, 2008. 7 and 7 is. A friend told me once, and it’s stuck with me, that men go through crises every 7 years. Not saying that I’m going through a crisis (any more than usual) but as I approach 28, it’s been on my mind. 28 is a bit of a nothing age. So is it true this crisis happens? I don’t remember. 14 – puberty. A given. Rough times all round I think. 21? Is this related to what is known as the 27 club? Australian author David Ma...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Monday, May 28, 2007. I have cable TV for the first time in my life. I also have wireless broadband at home for the first time. Yes, look at me. I know what year it is! So the combination has led to a lot watching of TV shows. And current stuff! Not just Press Gang on DVD. As it's finale season. Really, you're missing out. Well, it started of great. Television Sci Fi is always touch and go. We see so much in movies that the cheap producti...Pity ...

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Sunday, September 30, 2007. A very flickr update 7: Krakow. Some lovely pics from my lovely time in Krakow last month. Me at Wawel Hill, and the wonderful storybook like castle grounds. Heading down from Wawel Hill you can find the Wawel Dragon. Legend has it that it did something once and it was cool. Now it's a tacky tourist thing and actually BREATHES FIRE. Sigh. They ruin sudh good stuff. 1 Entrance to Auschwitz 1. Sunday, September 23, 2007.

Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love Procrastination. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. The ashtray says you've been up all night. There gets to a point when it's 5:45am and you're still wide awake that you are pretty much trying to waste another hour tossing and turning in bed before you make yourself a slow breakfast and proceed through the day as if by some miracle you woke up early, as opposed to not having slept at all. Friday, July 13, 2007. Everybody loves a holiday. Everybody likes to run away.
