and then we went home

exactly a year ago yesterday justus jumped from this spot. he got caught in a rip, dislocated his arm and was swept up onto the rorks where he spent the night in a cave. we thought he was dead and it made it on the news.

i got home late and wrote this. in the morning i got up anyway and went.

shot from the bus window. i take pictures of other people and remark loudly to my friends that i am from melbourne and brisbane people look so different

a movie at southbank-i take photos of the other movie goers with the flash on they dont seem to mind too much in as much that i didnt get punched. walked to west end for coffee sunny reads an article about people being in love and gives examples of couples and includes pictures of them kissing. see some street scrawling, climb on a bus and go home

at the movies

justin gets dreadlocks

friday night. it took me only 6 hours and i used a 0.75 crotchet hook while watching kid nation and bridget jones. my hands hurt. becky helped. justin sat still but i think he found it hard cos he just wanted to watcht he teev.

jonas speaks his mind in the office

jonas:just because i say someone is pretty doesnt mean i'm in love with her. you dont have to always vidicate youself, always have the need for vindication. just leave it for other people so they can figure it out erm jesus never vindicated himself. so suck on that will ya (makes sucking noises) thats a sweet lollipop. just becos u say a girl is beautiful doesnt mean you love her
me: you said that already
jonas: well people need to get over it. that was a lot of writing for that sentence.
sometimes you need to stop implicating. implicating is complicating.
if you think about not sinning all the time your gonna sin. i think.
becky: if your driving and theres a pothole and your focusing on not hitting it you'll hit it. you have to look at where your going
jonas: i gotta go mate, go to brookside get some milk and a smoothie. what are you doing why are you writing this? what is erm? it should be with a h. my words are good! my words are good.

(the door is opened and justin enters)
me: what are you doing back?

justin: my bike broke on the way home. the gears broke.

jonas: hey does one of these computers have speakers?

me: its ok justin we'll catch the next train or we could leave from here straight and forget your bordies.

jonas: hey i wanna play a song can i use this computer? this artist is so good. no its not coldplay it sounds like it, hes a norwegian artist

justin: jonas can you fix my bike?

"one time at school me and my friend android started a club called the ugly club. we went up to the popular people and asked if they wanted to join our ugly club and they were like what? and we'd say you cant anyway cos your too good looking"- justin

"sometimes you just gotta put in the hard yards and god does the rest"-mick on the phone

its been a long day. i worked on a project for the digital film school and then we celebrated chinese new year with a nice meal and green tea and a mangoe desert thing. we sit on the stairs and quote loudly from school of rock; you are a fat loser and you have body odour. during the meal i dare myself to put the red paper lantern in the dumpling soup. nobody else agrees it is a good idea. when i take it out of the soup it looks like it has vomit on it and this is funny cos becky vommitted the other night and so i put it in front of her. extra hyper this arvo i dont even know why. am thinking about liz a lot, havent spoken to her in so long and miss her. we're both stubborn and she has my best top.

finally some sun for the first time in weeks and a new camera. a canon poweshot tx1. nice but very hard to get my head around the thousand options. was inspired by john trippes photo blogs on fecal face and i think he uses a cannon.

tomorrow i want to try to make a pin hole camera. i want to start getting more productive with my time and setting some rules:

1 no sleeping in the daytime

2 when you think of an idea, do it straight away

3 draw more

4 take sketch book and camera with you everywhere

5 stop looking at so much of other peoples art on the net
