Something a bit different…

Photoshop was not used on this image (although I admit I stamped out some dust from the scan).
I’ve been documenting Mount Victoria and I might submit some prints for the New Zealand Affordable Art Show.
Last year the show exhibited about 900 artists and they collectively earned just under one million dollars. I almost submitted paintings, but missed my chance.

“Hey,” someone shouted at me.
“Hey! You!”
I turned around and saw a red faced man wearing a bright blue vest, which identified him as library staff. He looked like Michael Moore because of his glasses and the fat belly, but he sounded twangy.
“Who gave you permission to take photos?” He barked.
“Oh. Do I need permission?” I asked.
“Yes in fact you do, you need my permission before you take photos inside the library, and you haven’t asked me, so you shouldn’t be taking photos.”
I was shocked into silence. The conversation went on for a bit, and it ended badly.
“Well next time you want to take photos you need permission,” he said.
“Don’t worry, next time I’ll ask for sure!”
“There won’t be a next time.”
“Oh.”

As I walked out of the building he followed me to make sure of something. I don’t know what.
I still can’t believe a librarian yelled at me! Now I have to avoid the library until I recover my ‘I can do anything because I’m free’ ignorance.
I only wanted a picture of the library so I remember what it looks like.

Last weekend I had Rod’s Porsche 993. Holy shit!
I felt like a cock in the city streets. The pedestrians mocked me. When a young hippy and I crossed paths he called me a wanker, and a wanking motion ensued as he walked across the street.
I thought that was a bit redundant, hippy!
I shrugged my shoulders. After all I was driving a car that demands confidence, a sort of affluent indifference that can only be bought.
I loved it. Now I think I will move to somewhere desolate where dead animal skulls line the highway. I need a fast car.
In an unrelated manner Xero is hiring and we’re looking for an HTML and CSS uber-guru. Here’s the pitch. Go on, apply!

Religion! Why do you insist on ruling our lives? I had this conversation last night:
“I’m Catholic. What are you?”
“Nothing, I’m not religious,” I said.

Yesterday I bought pavlova1 for dessert.
I poured a bottle of cream into a whipping machine, and while fiddling with the plug the machine slipped from my hands! In one instant my kitchen floor went from dirty to rancid2.
While this commotion was in locomotion, the chocolate on the stove was burning in the pot.
Burnt chocolate, cream-less pavlova, rancid floor. How lame.
1. a dessert consisting of a meringue base or cup filled with fruit and whipped cream.
2. our floor was already gross, cream excluded. Instead of tiles we walk on doormats.
