Tone of Taciturnity

 

Until then - I ain't even speakin your name

Just keep my name outta yo' mouth and we can keep it the same

It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors
It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em
That's the difference

DOCTOR: Not so sick, my lord, As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies, That keep her from her rest.

MACBETH: Cure her of that. Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain, And with some sweet  oblivious antidote Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart?

DOCTOR: Therein the patient Must minister to himself.

Lose it in The End

It's Not the Bullet that Kills You

It's the Hole.

 

It is always during a passing state of mind 

that we make lasting resolutions.

Unhooked Generation

Awaking first thing with Freda Payne in your brain is a 

grand way to start the day.

 I kicked the habit...

 

Now to focus on the future.

 

friendships

 career

 home

 and actually being there to enjoy it

attention to detail

 because the little things are important too

 

enjoying the fruits of that labour

 

and finally - upholding the Bohemian ideals

truth, beauty, freedom

Earthquake End

Truly believe that was no coincidence.  

Saying goodbye for good then the earth actually shook.  

Cela peut prendre un certain temps  -  c'est la vie. 

Even when every day feels like this.

Because eventually it will feel like this.

Earthquake

The US Geological Survey is reporting an earthquake of 5.2 magnitude.

Uncivil Servants

 The breaking line is where I walk, or where I sometimes think I do.  On the breaking line you can hear things getting ready to crack, the ground, the walls of air, the sealing sky.  Other people walk here but I don’t see them.  The lines are always somewhere else, they never cross.  No lines cross, no figures loom, all are alone on the breaking line.

Whattup MelBURN

Despite my ramblings and moaning mourning of Californian sun, Sardegna villas and Parisian Nutella crepe hawker vans versus another damn taco truck, I do love this city, very much, it's family and I will always call it home.

So let's all chuckle at the gold that is the when in Melbourne Tumblr.

The Architect and the Painter

After seeing the incredibly cool and very well designed California Design, 1930–1965: "Living in a Modern Way" exhibition at LACMA and then purchasing the equally inspiring catalogue, catching this doco was a no brainer.  There are now only a few days left to catch the insightful, sweet and inspiring doco on Charels and Ray Eames - Eames: The Architect and The Painter at ACMI and I highly recommend it.
 

From architecture and art to film making and industrial design, these guys made magic.  

 Winner of the San Francisco International Film Festival Award, 1958, this portrayal of the Mexican Day of the Dead consists of still shots reflecting the annual Mexican celebration of “All Souls Day”.

I ask you - who else would design a kite of this caliber?

 A little perspective from their most famous 1968 film about orders of magnitude.
