PIX on teh move: SYdney, MelbournE

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuckity cuntbuckets. There. Seems to work okay when I’m not in the airport.

Here are my favourite photos. I didn’t get any of my nana’s funeral because the removalists didn’t pick up my stuff, meaning I had to miss my free uni flight. (I am well pissed off about that - Backloads.com.au: they are scum.) So instead of photos from nana’s funeral you can have a blank space where I wait for removalists:

 

 

Okay, here are the actual photos:
move1box.jpg
My computer box - apparently it’s good for English people and Rubics Cube players but not pirates. Ripped off, I say.

move2train.jpg
Here is a V-Line train out of Spencer St Station, now known as Southern Cross Station.

move3westgate.jpg
The West Gate Bridge. I <3 this photo - it’s so very Melbourne.

move4room.jpg
The room where I did my talk. It went well, I think. I have resolved to write only papers that have sex appeal, but so far it isn’t working.

move5hotel.jpg
The dingy hotel backpackers’ lounge.

move6dorm.jpg
The noisy hotel backpackers’ room.

move7wind.jpg
A supercool arcade machine called ‘Ad Lib of Wind’. I think you play it by farting.* Those Japanese…

move8family.jpg
At my family’s place. The shit that went on with these people needs a whole other post - suffice it to say it was a lot more fun and interesting than I had expected.

move9me.jpg
Me, in a mirror at Ross’s family’s place in Essendon.

move10lunatic.jpg
I took a 2-leg trip back, wanting to use at least some of the uni’s airline ticket and get a free Quantas sandwich. This was at Sydney airport, where a lunatic wandered back and forth in front of the windows laughing to himself and carrying a little telescope. He was such a stereotypical lunatic I expected men with white coats and big nets to come running after him.

*This is not even remotely true. It’s a purikura machine with a fan on the front.

  1. What a whistlestop tour! The room where you did your talk seems familiar. Maybe because it looks like all rooms that look like that.

  2. LOL, Rubik’s Cube players only. Best box, ever.

    Love the blurry artistic photos. My favourite is the rain splattered window.

  3. Clare - Yeah, I got to see just about enough stuff though, so it was groovy. And I wouldn’t rule out you’re being in that room at some point or other, it was at a university and everything.

    Boofuls - Thanx! I would say it’s because I’m tres chic and artstic but it’s because I have a cheap camera that tends to judder and focus on the wrong things.

  6. Fucking Adlib. Now It’s on my screen as well as haunting my days at work.
