freo, funky bookshop cafe land, everyone wanders around looking like they are far to cool for byron bay, this is the kind of place i like, lot's of bookshops, art everywhere, young energy pervades, the indian ocean with it's magnificent greenish tinge lapping white pristine beaches, where the sand is fine and baked dry. everyone in perth looks good, the girls are beautiful and friendly, there's an english population here i can't fathom, accents everywhere, all dialects.
i'm glad to be out of sydney, to be honest i needed a change, a shake up, wandering around with my back pain, calling into the radio stations, dropping off my tunes, getting some feedback, listen out on the fm radio, they are playing our song. for some reason 'occult diary 2' is getting airplay. i would have thought 'hell would be the one everyone would want blasting out their radio but what do i know, they are all good songs.
well a couple of days surfing and then it's back to sydney, i think i will be ready, more focused when i return, this break away had helped my reformat my hard drive.
i had a nice experience in a little second hand bookshop, i find a book i have been searching for for years, simon ings, 'the weight of numbers' and here it is for $5. the lady say's this happens a lot in this little book shop, i like it, it's small and quaint and interesting.
i finish reading, 'the rook' a sort of paranormal fantasy, it's clever and well written but it's not the bees knees.
i finish reading neil cross, 'luther, the calling,' it's a gripping dark detective novel, and john luther is my kinda guy, he's a black english dude, who loves david bowie, fave album is low, he don't talk much, just reads and solves cases.
now i'm going to read 'kraken' china melvilles book which i meant to read two years ago but never got around to.
that's me, over and out.
