Saturday, Reclaim the streets demo was a fizzer. Time was we did reclaim them, with big drums.

Gallery slog: Annandale, where Bill Gregory has more Arnhem land bark paintings in fine display. West of Maningride, Kuninjku language. You might have got a Mimih for a $300, or a Yawkyawk [mermaid].
I snapped some while Bill wasnt looking, camera shake ensures they are not of value to worry him.







The Danks St galleries are thriving. The gow-langsford has kiwi art from Paul Dibble, bronze "Looking for Australia" I didnt get the surf-lifesavers immediately, took a minute to catch on






Young James Dodd at Redfern has Usama,GeorgeW,QEII, and JohnieHoward. I showed him my Usama Tee Shirt from RP & he was suitably impressed, not by the fact that I am too scared to wear it uncovered on the street.

12 September 2003


As someone who worked next to the twin towers, I still feel guilty about my excursion into Big Banking.
(Bankers Trust, or "Wankers Truss" as we called it) BT was still in the big 10 banks in those days.
Funny thing, BT gave me an award for community work, at the same time community workers throughout CentrAm were being disappeared by US funded death squads.

So I felt little sympathy for the bonds traders who did the big dive.
I hope that not many unnamed undocumented immigrant cleaners were in the towerss at 9am.

I guess I just surfed that 1980 wave from Coromandel commune to Manhattan greed.
Guilt made worse because I failed to get rich.
I left BT when I saw printouts of their illegal loans to Pinochet.
Actually I was kicked out, I dont know if it was for pinning up a picture of burned helicopters in the Iran desert (Jimmy Carter's failed hostage rescue), or for my weekend picketing activities with the "Moncada" group, a bunch of Commie women attempting to resist harassment of blacks in Brooklyn heights. As if anyone could stop gentrification.
Years later I met a New York woman in Davao City. She had been traveling alone through Mindanao, even than that seemed dangerous to me. She informed me that gentrification had conquered even "Alphabet City" which in my time in Manhattan was Hispanic and no-go.

ET the father of the HBomb, finally dead.
The key to the bomb was "Plastic"
polystyrene around the LiD stick provided low density C to convert outgoing gamma to inward X?
Teller famously claimed that big bombs were not a problem, he reckoned that the area of damage didnt increase much from 10 to 100 Megatons, just a bigger chunk of atmosphere blasted into space.
That was before Pinatubo, Carl Sagans Mars Dust studies, and the Alverez asteroid idea for the CT extinction showed that global climate effects could leave us all in the dark

179. The Floorboards in the Ante-Room

The Floorboards in the ante-Room are shining so brightly that they mirror everything near by, and some crisp new straw matting has been placed near the three-post curtain of state. The curtains themselves give a lovely cool impression; when one pushes them they glide smoothly back, opening far wider than one expected and revealing the lady of the house, who under the faded dark robe she is using as her bedclothing wears a white unlined gown of raw silk and a crimson trouser-skirt.
By the light of the lamp one can see that the blinds further back in the room have been raised all the way; below them several women, including a couple of ladies in waiting, girl attendants, and others, sit leaning against the raised beam between the ante-room and the veranda. In another part of the room some more ladies are huddled together under a closed blind. A fire is smouldering deep in the incense-burner, giving out a scent that is vaguely melancholy and full of a calm elegance
Late in the evening there is a stealthy tap outside. A lady-in-waiting (the one who always knows what is happening) hurries to the gate and lets in the gentleman visitor. Then with a smug look on her face she stealthily leads him to the lady who has been awaiting his arrival.
From one side of the hall comes the beautiful sound of lute music. The player plucks the strings so gently that even when the murmur of conversation dies down one can barely make out the notes.

The majura no sôshi (pillow book) of Sei Shônagon 996CE

I read Shonagon instead of gossip columns. She is bitchier than any Malibu or Whale beach celebrity, and the high life details are more precise than Vogue or Harpers bazaar. It is both wearying and delightful than one thousand years has seen little change in foolish snobbery and fashion.

Leni Riefenstahl, that old genius and buddy of Hitler at last is dead.
She got me fired from a great job in a company run by a young Jew.
He saw some pictures of Leni's Nuba on my desk and was admiring them.
I had to explain she was a famous friend of Adolf.
He was so embarassed at not knowing that, I knew my days in that job were numbered.

Last evening, in the darkening bay front of my desk, at last we had a visit from a pelican,
She paddled around, occasion leaps of 3 metres, stabbing deep, rarely missing
I hope she is OK with the coffee grounds that flush into the harbour from our sink. I hope that she returns and brings lots of buddies.

I have gone book crazy, blowing about $300 on mail order. Amazon is now fast, and I discovered www.powells.com who have a non-fiction range wider than my eclectivity
"In Griot Time" , "Gauguin's skirt", "Prime Obsession" and "Skywatchers, Shamans, and Kings" all from one place!
My booklist is over 1200, I have long realised that I wont live that long. After her funeral, the only thing amongst Mothers belongings that teared me up was her booklist with a heading "books I might like".

more extravagance: the Evolution MK-149 MIDI keyboard is great fun, my ironing board as a stand, and the cheezy play-along tracks are actually good for learning keys.
I have ordered Powertracks v8 because the free learn-to-play with the 149 is buggy.
