[m i a o w] the cat

Back in the land of the many and varied seasons. I sent a text message to Christine while I was on the Skybus coming into town on Saturday night and it turned out that Meebar were playing at the Evelyn! So I went straight to the gig, festooned with my luggage and kept Mung and J company. They showed lots of video clips. After Meebar were Blessington, who I hadn’t seen before - they seemed very Go-Betweensy, though not quite as hooky. By then I was completely knackered and walked back to Collingwood trailing my wheely back, while Mung rode his pushy.

Yesterday (after a truly inspiring breakfast - asparagus, poached eggs, homemade bread) I spent an hour getting sunburnt shoulders at Camberwell Market, wandered through the city, caught a train to Coburg and helped the G.R’s with their afternoon beer ration. Then trammed back to Carlton and, on impulse, ducked in and saw Zach Braff’s movie - Garden State. I give it three and a half stars - and the soundtrack was great. Then I trudged from Carlton to Collingwood and went to bed.

Have been feeling very bad leaving M all alone up there to cope with the various house stresses we have underway. I feel very powerless and unhelpful down here - particularly because I don’t really need to be here for this stupid workshop that is taking place this week. Yes - I helped organise it, but I will be contributing nothing to it except my presence. Which is what my boss wants. Gah. Very frustrating.

I am doing the same damn thing in Kiwi-land. Don’t need to really be here - or rather shouldn’t HAVE to be here. But some people simply need to be told stuff in person… argh.
