tales from an ordinary world

2000-06-23

A couple of glasses of red in the office after work, and we wander into a bar in southbank - where a friend had been wanting us to meet for drinks. I used to come to the same bar last year, when there wasn't much else to do on a sunny weekend afternoon but relax with a Cointreau and Lime and a good smoke as you watched the world go buy on southbank boulevard. But there's a slightly different vibe at night, with all the mock informational signs (the bar's got a bit of an airport feel to it) and the black illuminated globes for people to spin and look upon the world, as if it was their very own.

Later, we walk back to the car through southbank/south melbourne streets. A whole lotta people living in expensive shoebox apartments, just like the friend we visited last weekend. You get a nice view of the city, though - plenty of scope to bum around on the balcony and ponder what to do next. Still, it'd be wasted on me - Left to my own devices, I get restless at home, and end up wandering out...somewhere...
