snakes on a plain

friday was the family day in the city... hi annie, hi kade, hi sailor...

stares

no that isn't annie leering, that is simon...

we had switchboard cupcakes... yay again... exhausting business... i have also been doing the most drawn out annoying move, dribs and drabs here and there... maybe tonight i'll be finished. fingers crossed someone with a ute may want to help me tonight... i have some sweet talking to do... hi donald russell!

went to the nathan gray exhibition at 200 gertrude street, i love his prints, and that wallpaper makes me very happy... so go and have a look if you weren't one of the millions there the other night...

after we went to dinner at pizza miene liebe, with donald russell and cass kowalski... MMMM... pizza by the metre... YUM...
we talked about trying the special of the week, snakes on a plane... but the possibility of it being a fancy name for the NZ specialty, 'white trash' pizza (tinned spaghetti and pineapple pieces) was enough for me...

saturday breakfast bagels at jungle juice, coffee at newtown sc, bus gallery, someday gallery, bread top coconut buns and chestnut buns and home to watch rize and pretend to crump like ten year olds from south central...

i cut my fringe.... hmmm... it's crooked and curly and a little bit spac... just how we like it... so now i look more like a cross between a chubby ten year old boy and a deranged lady than ever... red lipstick and short fringes do that... careful!

dell world

then the tranquilizers and sly hats and you will die alone at pony... dirty rotten pony... at least the bar staff were insisting on good manners from clientele at the early stages... note to self... drinking beer to stay awake is not fun tomorrow...

sunday was painful, as i woke up with a cold on top of my hayfever and hangover... very grumpy dell... we went to ACCA... where i loved some of daniel von sturmers work and also that woody escalator and the green curtain at the end... don't you love my well researched quality art reporting... also went to the ngv international to see hiraki sawa's video works...

reasons

which were quite wonderful... talk about art stamina! truly amazing!

more bagels... mmm... and misguided shopping... and so SO tired, i finshed knitting a new long scarf for my love, which is now called 'snakes on adam!'

how is that for a badly written, name dropping run down on my weekend?

i hope yours was good...

god i have a lot to do before i go on thursday...

must. make. more. bananas...

my brother jed had a little baby girl... my first niece... lily alice... i have 6 nephews already... yay for a girl! i hope i get to meet her when i go home... he's only nine hours drive away from my mum and the are both in north queensland... say hello to queensland distances...

what i want to know about your wonderful art reporting is, how do you take pix without some zealous attendant seizing your camera? I can never do it.
