Sunny Breaks

- Been listening to internet radio. Finally, a decent app. for Linux, streamtuner, hooks into xmms. Listening to things I haven’t heard in a while, like drum n’ bass stuff and Zionradio, Jah Mon. And while I’ve known for a while that it’s a serious health hazard to listen to anything over 80 beats per minute while eating, especially dinner, I still end up doing it. Keep an eye on the obits. – I saw a platypus in the Barwon river. Amazing considering how toxic it was in summer—algal bloom, big red painted WARNING signs saying not to let the water touch you. Rivers are so temporary. – I feel like the whole of reality can at best only be considered a ‘secondary source’ of information lately. – This is that part of the year where the writing here is gruel-thin and you’re doing me a favour by visiting. – Got another story rejected and sent back the other day. They said only peasants use contractions. – Add ‘Winterbottom’ to the list of surnames that sound funny.
