So we taste something that we thought we always knew to be true
Like I thought you knew me, and you knew I thought of you
All of these dreams become undone like fading memories leaving only time to be at fault
Broken homes run us dry like a sliver, a scrap of metal against damp asphalt

Cautiously I dive into memory and recall the words you once whispered so flawlessly into my ear
So painfully often I still feel your footprints in the sand, and your reflection in the mirror
But through dreaming I remembered losing you once, and once I lost you, I remembered it was only a dream
It was before we became what we are now, back when we were what we used to be

Hahahaha, ahhhh. That's almost worth being so unpopular. (Yes yes, I know, signing in at four-month intervals and occasionally dumping a few new pieces of art all at once is not the best way to make friends. I know. Shush now.)

The child is dead, Jim. I'm sorry.

Really I am, but vigours were in the balance. We had to kill the child. We did it for your sake.

It was the right thing to do.

Apply sandpaper to eyes. Rub softly. Repeat.

I got the photos that were trapped inside my camera. They turned out to be hardly worth recovering.

But I need practice and I need to sustain a bit of inertia, so I sorted through the festering heap of rotting fish carcasses (metaphorically) and picked a couple that were semi-salvageable on which to work what feeble Photoshop magic I can manage. The results, as shown, are less than breathtaking.


You know the semi-competent photos I have tucked away in my gallery? They are the product of a bad workman with excellent tools. As I'm now bereft of a camera that does virtually everything for the user short of picking a subject, all you're going to get out of me will be this tosh.

Suffer in your jocks.

I have a bunch of photos on my (old, rusty, lo-res, modeless, zoomless, generally optionless) digital camera, but no way to transfer them over to the computer as the docking cable isn't working. This has been the case for months. Even though I rarely take photos, I'm now at the stage of having to sort through and delete photos that I'd rather keep if I want to take any new ones.

Yesterday's Play of the Day award goes to the Scrabble move in which I put down the word EMIGRATES across two triple-word-score tiles. That's a mere 12 points for the letters, tripled to 36, tripled again to 108, plus the 50-point bonus for using all letters, for a grand total of 158 points.

I won that game.

RMIT University has the single worst website in the entire world. [link] It may look benign enough in an uninspiring sort of way, but just try booking classes or finding important information on it...

One pack almonds, smoked + One card, handwritten + One box condoms = Best Valentine's day gift ever.
