Necessary liesRain drops slide slowly down the window outside, looking like tears. Maybe the sky is weeping for me as I have no tears left to cry. More drops roll by and I watch them make their slow decent to the ground. Concentrating on something that would keep the memories at bay, anything that would stop the continual replay within my mind. The drops were coming faster now as the rain beat down seeming with a vengeance. This wouldnt last, would likely exhaust itself before too long. There is movement behind me and I turn my face to catch my mothers eye. I turn back and my eyes lose focus aNecessary lies


BoxesLight traffic fills the background, giving depth to a place that would otherwise seem flat now that the life that gave breathe to this place is gone. Boxes stand ready. Boxes in which to put the things, the stuff that is collected to show a life well led. How much of what is hoarded actually has meaning? How much was just set aside until it was possibly needed? The first box is full. Items now carefully stored and ready to be shipped. Will what is left ever have the meaning it originally held? Can it be found by someone who doesnt have the same attachment and memory? &nBoxes


JourneysWe sit outside the local café drinking coffee. The sun is shining and for all we can see the world is bright and happy. Very occasionally a car will pass, but they are quick and quiet in todays modern world, the people inside passing through and barely noticing anything beyond the windows of their own world. These are lazy days. Says my mother, looking at a young man crossing the street. The young man looks in our direction but not directly at us. He has noticed us too, but that could simply be because we are the only other people in the street, which is not an uncommon occurJourneys

Life is pain, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something
I don't know I'll do 1000 self-portraits, but I'll do one every now and then when I feel a bit different so it comes out different each time.
How can being stepped on be deliberate? Hope the swelling goes down soon.
Hope everything goes well with the new job at the Advertiser. I know one of the editors there in the reviews section, and my uncle is the basketball columnist. I don't know if you'll ever see them, but at least you are in that crowd. And the Cup parade sounds pretty cool to run, you professional you!
The magazine will probably come out soon, not sure as it's a UK publication and we always get it later over here. I sent a CD with 30 of my images, and they wrote an email asking for more info on 6 of them: Night and Blood, Sanctuary (Sara Douglass ones he he), Stratocious the Uni Dragon, Rootbeast Summons, Spinyfex Anteater and General Union.
Have fun with the rest of Uni. Only a few more hard weeks for the year. Good luck!

Uni stuff is completely done and i got good marks so far so glad its done but with the end of that project its been like saying goodbye to a old friend its what i was working on nearly every night so now i have the 'now what' thinking
I ran collinades parades to, think i mentioned melbourne cup ones they went well kinda glad theyre over too

I went to the honours exhibition for my course at the new uni building we inhabited last year. They all finished last year with me, but did another year, so it was cool seeing how each of them are going.
The third year exhibit for this year is on the 7th of December at the Kaurna building and should go for at least a few days. Danna, who you met for the last movie, has her work exhibited there too.
Plus the nativity scene for the church is underway, ready to be printed and all for Christmas.
Hope you're well LM,

So far my life is
work - fanastic, I love it its easy and not stressful and time flies and its just so different and the people are nice and i love working in the city just dont love the drive home its fine in the mornings but by afternoon its tiring and i just want to be there already
home - boring and well i have nothing to work on cos uni is over and i dont know what to do with myself
friends - well didnt see anyone last week and this week im trying to catch up with everyone, Im also having a party next friday to which you are invited its at like 7-8pm and BYO drinks and a board game but ill send more info in sms sometime this week, you can bring who ever you like and josh is invited hopefully to turn up after hes finished work
events - have a charity parade on friday night and then victoria cup parades next week
thats my life pretty much my life caught up
and i figured you had been busy cos theres not quite as much of your work on here as there use to be which is a shame cos i like your work particularly use more landscape style works
and i just used the word shame like my mother would which will probably haunt me
I remember going to that exhibit last year its really cool cos its the work that they have developed through the year and its usually representative of the style and its completly them the pictures are special because many look like they are what the person wanted to create not what some one else expected from the work and that makes it better
did you wish you had done honours? or just glad its over? i know i wont be going onto do that but then they dont recommend that we do but if we want to continue our studies there are specialised masters things that are designed better than the honours system
what is the nativity thing? I leave so long between answering your emails that i tend to forget for which i always feel guilty when i am reading but which i cant change cos at the moment i over the computer and internet and well the time thing but hey with the new job maybe cos ill have the net and well i have the time there and they wont mind
anyway thats all i can come up with right now and that feeling of annoyance i have when im on the computer is hitting harder right now so well thats it and ill try to answer more often

Have you met any of the editors yet? There is one I catch the train with.
Yeah, the exhibition was pretty cool. I don't know about Honours as I can still do it. I even had the chance to do it for next year, but I will still have the job at this stage and that's the most important part I think.
The nativity scene is for the church. Delivered it to a very happy and impressed pastor on Sunday. He was showing it to everybody.
Should be able to come next Friday as it is holidays for me then, from the textbook plavce that is, but I still have to ring Foodland as they want me to work on the Friday at 9.30 in the morning! Spoke with Josh last night, so I can probably get a lift with him.
I think he said he would text you sometime about it.
Anyway, hopefully see you soon
