updates aplenty

My poor, poor pusscat. He was in a fight with another evil neighbourhood kitty and now has an infected wound as a result of his labours. So today poor puss had to get packed off in a cat carrier with no breakfast and is at the vet’s to have an operation to have his abscess removed…!!! Ugh, that evil cat that gave him a wound - apparently canines (as in the teeth, not dogs!) are very dirty and that was what put a hole in my poor kitten. I’m peeved to say the least.

I went out yesterday to a fabled dumpling house in Melbourne town with one of my oldest mates and we stuffed ourselves stupid. Had fried pork dumplings, mushroom and vegetable dumplings, spring onion pancake, and finally steamed miniature pork buns. Afterwards we took a trip to a local music shop and bought soooo much stuff (as a result of it being about 25 bucks for the two of us to have lunch, we felt we had money to burn, hehe).

I bought Blur’s Leisure, Gang of Four’s Entertainment, The Knife’s Silent Shout, the Tiga DJ Kicks compilation, and The Good The Bad and The Queen’s self-titled album. I almost bought Joy Division’s Permanent 1995 but put it back seeing as I have Substance. ‘Twas a hard decision though!

That’s not all. During the week at work I ended up buying The Postal Service’s Give Up and Radiohead’s Hail To The Thief (can you believe I haven’t had a copy since now?! Insanity!) and mclusky’s mclusky Do Dallas.

I also had a bout of depression haulage…ordered some lovely fragrances from the fabled Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - descriptions are as follows - The Candy Butcher: dark chocolate with a heavy cream undertone; The Parliament of Monsters: dust, incense, wet tobacco, and a curl of opium smoke; Eat Me: three white cakes, vanilla, and red and black currants; Bordello: bawdy plum with amaretto, burgundy wine and black currant.

excited!

Today I got a message from an online friend of mine who hails from the old country (England) that he’s planning his trip to Australia for the end of the year, and he’s going to come and pay me a visit! I’m so excited, I don’t usually go around meeting random people from the internet but we’ve known one another for quite some time and he’s been kind enough to read some of my writing. I have actually met up with someone from the internet before, a good friend who lives in Sydney. I guess this is more of a big deal because my other friend doesn’t live in Australia though it was still supercool to meet up with this lovely lady I’d been conversing with for a few years now.

And Twitchey, if you’re reading this, I’ll be sure to read Marilyn French’s The Women’s Room before you come. I’m going to buy a copy this week if I can find it. I’ve been remiss and promising to read it for quite some time now.

So yeah, now I have something to look forward to at the end of the year. Maybe one day I can visit him in England if I ever go back. And L (and Dee!) if you’re reading, I’m definitely paying you a visit in Sydney. I just wish I had an excuse to go so I could do it sooner!
