clean slate

02Oct08

Well, clearly I got sick of actually writing anything here with any regularity. Apart from anything else, there are 50 trillion blogs out there, all of which are written by people who want people to read theirs rather than wanting to read other people’s writing (understandably, I suppose, we all just want to be […]

Typical Sydney-centric attitude

30Jul07

Limited/no updates this week, as your author is stuck in Sydney, home of the homeless.
Well, I’m stranded in the city that never sleeps
Some of these women they just give me the creeps

A brief note to say that I will be clarifying the point of this place in the not-too-distant future. You can possibly look forward to some sort of underlying philosophy behind what’s posted here, including the reason why the dice are loaded. Or possibly not. In the meantime I appreciate your comments and feedback, you […]
