tales from an ordinary world

"I painted your face
on a twenty dollar bill
but it isn't legal tender
and I think about you still..."

The quest to find something cool to purchase as my 1000th CD continues. But on the way to the optometrist I got sidetracked at my favourite t-shirt shop, which was having a pre-GST sale, and went on a t-shirt frenzy. It's probably time to start cataloguing t-shirts.

Much of the t-shirts I've been buying lately are "skater" ones - hardly a culture I thought I'd have anything in common with, but the t-shirts have cool designs, so...

On the tram, going down St Kilda Rd, we pass the Shrine of Remembrance. I remember walking around it one lunchtime in mid-1996. My first day at work after a holiday to central Australia. I wanted to keep the momentum of excitement (such as it was) going. But what to do ? Seemingly out of nowhere, I decided to bleach my hair for the first time. It just wasn't me. Everybody knew that. But it was something to do.

I need some kind of amusment in my life. If it's not fun overall, there's no point.
