My Week in Melbourne
Flying out of Melbourne and away from my family. Back to Canberra now. The people in Melbourne were nicer than I expected, even the homeless seemed hospitable to some degree. I expected attitudes of cynical big-city life, similar to the cynical we-think-we-live-in-a-big-city life I’ve come to expect from number of people in this town. But,…

Random Graf
Just a little bit of random street art I’ve found around the place. Some classic stuff by Lister, E.L.K and Pixel (who seems new on the scene).

World Naked Bike Ride
So Sunday I rode out to the park where I was meant to meet up with participants of the World Naked Bike Ride. Along the way, I managed to catch up with Bloody Mary of the Rat Patrol. He was piloting as massive two-person bike – Master Gravity Esquire – on his own. His partner…

Skate Fatale
The grinding of ball bearings and the dud-dud-dud sound of rubber against a polished wooden floor means one thing: roller derby. Tonight was Skate Fatale, with the CRDL Vice City Rollers against VRDL All Stars.

New Old Camera
While I was in Japan, I took an old Olympus OM10 with me to try out some photos. The thing was a gift for my birthday from a friend, Jo. I did manage to knock out a few snaps, partly filling two rolls of film. The OM10, back in 1979, was a camera that had…

Roller Derby Saturday
The roller derby bout between the Sydney Assassins and Canberra’s Vice City Rollers was something I was looking forward to for about a month. It was Lord of the Rink, Battle of the Two Towers and was held at the AIS in an actual arena, being a massive crowd and match to boot. Sadly, I…

Last Notes from the Train Station
It’s been a week since I made any updates. Time to wrap this Japan business up. I’ve been back for a week, slowly re-adjusting to work and sleeping in my bed. Here is something I wrote on the last day before taking the train to the airport: “I’m early for my next train by about…
