Reverse Cargo

Adam Cruickshank has an imminent show at Craft Victoria. It opens this thursday the 21st of Jan. Come see some bastard-craft, a term I coined just for this. I should clarify that bastard is bandied about these parts as both a term of endearment and of irregularity/illegitimacy. I am excited about these works. He is a clever bastard.

I finally finished this mammoth book. For awhile there I thought I'd be reading it forever. I started it when we first got back so it has been 6 months, which is a record for me. I can finish a book in one or two nights if possessed.
I feared for awhile I wouldn't make it, or that I would suffocate under it, or drop it on my head, as I kept falling asleep after reading half a page and returning the next night confused. The irony is that now I have finished it, I want to read it again to find out what the hell happened.
Fool.
