Winter cats

It’s been a while since I posted pics of the nekos, so here goes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flicker is most often to be seen in this pose. Needs a bigger cushion.

Sometimes she does leave the house, though. And this is what happens.

 

Sweet sixteen years ago

Just stumbled across this site and was led down memory lane.

I remember making a dash to Aichi Arts Centre between classes to see AMM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my first sighting of Otomo Yoshihide’s Ground Zero was at La Mama supporting Charles Hayward. Nomura Makoto from Pou Fou joined them on piano and they blew the Ex-This Heat man off stage. Still one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.

Winter sounds

As a result of various trips domestic and foreign, several trades with members of the VG+ and Waxidermy community, and some fortunate scores at the stores in and around town I now find myself with around 100 LPs and 30 or so 45s to listen to. And to cap it all, the VG+ Xmas swap CDs arrived today.

Pizza delivery …. check. Wireless internet …. check. No need to leave the house for a month!

IAWE Melbourne

Spent an enjoyable week in the wonderful city of Melbourne for the IAWE conference. I managed to catch up with some old friends in the evenings and pick up a few records and books, too.The food was pretty good as well: Greek, Moroccan, Italian, Vietnamese and I even had a kangaroo steak!
