painting floors in a big house in whale beach, we watch the sunlight refract from the surf, a plume of rainbow coloured lights across the beach, wow, it's beautiful, perfect spot for a new start, the house looks great as we saturate it, white out, i return to mission control with aches and pains in strange muscles i didn't even know where there..
the following day i'm in crows nest with miss cupcake and poppy, this used to be quite a posh part of sydney but now it's kinda trashy and grungy, there's a lot of human traffic passing through, the smell of drugs and some kinda weird dirty energy in the air. it's strange seeing this change, it's been a while since i been to this part of sydney, it makes me appreciate where i am on the northern beaches but i wonder what will happen as a million new people flood in. they have to live somewhere.
it's a good weekend, i catch up with nico and we have breakfast and a game of soccer which wears me out, she's like action mum, in three places at once and still looking glamourous, whereas i have arthritic pains in all my old broken bones and worn out and somewhat aching head home, i stop at the cinema and take myself to see x men first class which is excellent. i love magneto, he's probably close to the type of super villain i would choose to be, he's knows what humans are, he knows there's no escape from the nature of the beast. it's a great film, very stylish with a kinda 1960's james bond type feel. the soundtrack is fantastic and the last few scenes really set up the other films. excellent.
i'm getting closer to home, stopping of for some bones for pansy, i'm looking forwards to a long hot bath, looking forwards to finishing the new book i am reading, 'dimeter' by william peter blatty who is a very good writer and has told a very interesting and emerging tale that is yet to reveal how it's strands come together. it starts in albania in the 70's which is not a place i would particularly want to visit, a torturer gets nowhere with his mysterious suspect, only mystery surrounds him and then he escapes. next we are in Jerusalem, with a dr who's character you feel you know, and this is what i like about blatty as a writer, his characters have a deep spiritual philosophical imperative, and a great sense of humour.
