tales from an ordinary world

1999-12-04

I've spent too much time in the same places lately, so I avoided all that today, and wandered down to Carnegie, where there used to be this great little café I'd waste heaps of time at when I used to live in the area, a couple of years ago. A few months ago, I'd come along and walked past it (there wasn't any room inside), but this time it was gone. Just like that. It had so much stuff in there too, all over the walls...lots of little postcards and photos and other random memories all stuck there. And all gone. Replaced by "Kafka's art gallery" or somesuch place. The other cafés in the area have about as much character as a fish & chip shop, in comparison...

Still, it was too nice a day to mope about lost memories, so I wandered off to other places, sucking in the sun and whatever atmosphere there was.

Today's listening recommendations :

• Hello Halo, by Pollyanna.

• Starstruck - music for films and adverts, by Ed Kuepper.
