Thursday, September 27, 2007falling apartIt's a Friday leading into a long weekend. Joy! Yesterday my work computer refused to start which seemed appropriate given my technological conspiracy blog earlier in the week.

They seem to be spaces on the net where people, with nothing to really say, greet each other and then just hang around being bored together and wait for something interesting to happen. It seems to be like waiting for a bus that never comes. Occasionally...

Things I experienced on the way to work: a BBC interview with the guy who invented emoticons twenty five years ago; the smell of freshly baked bread as I walked past a bakery; the sight of a bunch of fools who paid money to do a boot camp down by the beach...

The characters roll around inside my psyche and I'm captivated. It's possibly the first time I've felt characters emerging that have a reel emotional and moral complexity. But I don't want to blog...

I spent little more than a day there yesterday and in that time I managed to have a superb breakfast experience in a restaurant called "The Commoner" in Johnston Street, Fitzroy.
