meredith!

P and I are both crossing our fingers that Sia performs in the dark like this for her Meredith set. Wacky!

addiction.

gmail chat archive circa late 2007.

a man from chicago, a writer, a musician and the source of much needed distraction during my time as a data entry officer (official title). good dude, hope to cross paths again one day.

2:11 PM me: i feel like we have drifted apart... like there is an ocean between us...
McRae: I know it's like life has stopped but the world keeps spinning.
2:12 PM me: i think we just stopped trying.
2:13 PM McRae: we? You haven't gotten any of my telegrams?
me: my carrier pigeon messages...
McRae: or candygrams?
me: courier? haha
2:14 PM McRae: all those bottles I threw into Lake Michigan with secret messages written for your eyes only?
me: damn it. they must have been intercepted by terrorists.
McRae: they never washed up at your door in Melbourne?
2:15 PM I swear to god, if those terrorists intercept one more of my important missives...
I'm going to go to Pakistan myself and have a stern talking with those people at those secret training camps
2:18 PM me: well somebody has to... this terrorism business has been going on un-addressed long enough I say.
2:19 PM McRae: that's right, I think I'll write a stern letter to my congressman while I'm at it.
me: i mean really, someone needs to teach them a lesson in politeness. those messages could have saved our relationship.
a strongly worded email perhaps?
2:20 PM McRae: it'll include terms like "cockamayme terrorists" and "craptastic al qeada"
or however you spell that crap
me: damn, you - you are good.
2:21 PM so what's shakin' homefry?
2:22 PM McRae: me. I stopped drinking a couple weeks ago.
me: no you didnt
you take that back.
McRae: there was a bender that went on for a month or so
I should rephrase..
2:23 PM I took a minute away from my true love... "Jameson"
this is not a permanent thing
me: if he really was your true love you'd know he spells his name with an 'i' in there somewhere.
2:24 PM McRae: I just decided to de-scar my liver a little
me: thats good, i hear it repairs pretty quickly
so i'm investigating scientology.
2:25 PM McRae: First of Jameson is a beautiful lady and there is no "i" in Jameson just like "team" or "steve"
2:26 PM like as a journalist or because you want to be a narcissistic nut-job who after the indoctrination I will forever refer to as "Captain Insano"
?
2:29 PM me: curiosity mostly.

:: SD Hyde Shorts ::

in my backpacking days in 2004, on bondi beach, i met a man named sd hyde. he spray-painted me a really cool palm tree/aviator sunglasses graphic on canvas. a very creative soul, funny and sweet, sd was one of the best dudes i met in my travels. anyway, he lives in berlin these days, making films. he just posted a link to the trailer for his new movie, i reckon it looks pretty sweet :)
