tales from an ordinary world
2002-02-04
I got dropped off in St Kilda, and saw the following things whilst getting money and food before heading home ;
A cover for an 8-inch floppy disk (remember them ?), lying on the pavement. "Nashua" brand.
(later) an 8-inch floppy disk on the road, which presumably belonged to aforementioned cover.
A couple, sitting in right next to the window of a restaurant I walked past. The girl seemed to be learning quite close to her guy, staring at him, as he talked. Like, an inch or two away from him. When you're sitting at a dinner table, this seems a little too close in terms of personal-space-invasion to me.
A girl, at the tramstop, talking in some random language to her friend. She had half a loaf of bread, unsliced, in her hand, and was tearing small pieces off and eating it.
Also, I don't think I mentioned seeing (a few weeks back) a busker playing the pipe-part of a vacuum cleaner as a didgeridoo. Surprisingly, it seemed to work (either that or he had a tape playing behind him).
