describe the ruckus

Went for a 2 mile run last
twilight. There were about
30 kangaroos in a field and
I had to stop and watch them.

After a few minutes they were
all watching me like a bunch
of overgrown ratsquirrelrabbits.
It was slightly eerie.

Today I swam 1000m free and it’s
cool out so I’m going for a 10km
run after lunch with LL. I sang
to her this morning whilst I was
showering. “It’s the final countdown..
boo-do-do do, boo-do-doot-do-doo..”

I couldn’t remember any other words
so I feel I need to buy lunch as an
apology.

_{Boo-do-do doo, boo-do-doot-doo-doo..
You horror, she says.}

Geographic Center of Victoria

_{Which was terribly exciting; we
looked in vain for an enormous
index finger pointing at us from
out of the clouds but no luck. The
ground was not made out of brass
either. I suspect deception on
some level but can’t articulate
precisely what or where.}

))){

OMFG!

This’ll be like, the bestest
thing since sliced bread, clown
horns, and cute Australian brunettes!

_{I can hardly wait!}

A practical note [I know, I know – I’m
usually full of crap but this is a truth]:

Always fly out of San Francisco
when possible, west coast people.

Los Angeles is the worst
most confused nightmare
of an airport to fly
overseas out of: Don’t do it!

Sitting on the
porch half drunk

..long day.

Not unhappy with
my answers to
pressing questions.

I have a visa to
stay in Australia
and live there.

But this dripping
of water off slim
leaves has all my
attention now

..because I can’t
believe that what
I most wanted just
happened so quickly.

And so I sit here
happy and numb but
mostly happy.

Today I sent my favourite
pen through the wash – but
not intentionally.

I picked the various pieces
out of the dryer and couldn’t
believe that the ink cartridge
didn’t explode everywhere over
my high-tech fabric clothing.

I’m going to write Pilot and
tell them I’m impressed with
their G2 0.7mm mini which is
great for left-handers and
also people with A Negative
blood who run and like coffee
and Australian girls.

I reassembled the pen like
the smart monkey I am and
guess what? It worked even
better than it did before.

Ook.

I remember flying through the air
yes, me – Afez Birdshredder, daughter
of a proud line reaching back to Aegypt
and the court of Ramses the Lesser -
there was a blinding flash which must
have been lightning and a torrent of
rain.

I landed with Arrizz Rodentslasher
on my head: “Idiot of no lineage!” I
hissed and ran into the curtains to
hide from the two-legged ones.

Hopefully they will leave me alone
and were frightened away by the storm.

Near Maryborough and fresh off the flight.

LL enjoys sparkling Shiraz

_{I enjoyed it too and we bought two bottles.}

))){

I opened Jiles’ can of Friskies
Mariner’s Catch and all of a sudden..

it looked interesting. I grabbed a spoon
and with Jiles looking on worriedly I
took a bite and swallowed.

It was awful. I don’t know how cats eat
that crap. Maybe the Sea Captain’s Choice is better.

_{Should’ve been called Mariner’s Retch.}
