In the dark

I just walked into my house and had two consecutive lightbulbs go out in my room. As I have no replacement bulbs, I am sitting here in the dark, straining my eyes to the glow of my (black) computer and feeling self-congratulatory about my touch-typing ability. 
In a minute I’ll try to muster up the energy [...]

Disconnected

So right now I’m sitting in Krishna Computers, the dodgy Indian internet cafe on Sydney rd I’ve been frequenting in an attempt to make contact with the outside world.

To the north!

So, it looks like I’m heading to Sydney on Thursday, for utterly nefarious reasons and also to get the hell out of Melbourne. I’ve been climbing the walls here recently, and was thinking that another trip to lil’ old sleeply Radelaide was due, but this will suffice. I feel certain that this will suffice.
