i saw ‘blame’ spray-painted onto an otherwise blank brick laneway wall one afternoon in 2010

Crying Really Impresses My Parents - CRIMP / fashion isn’t synonymous with style any more / she paints again – i’m glad she left you / you're painfully cool / the arch in your eyebrows / i would have been Judas / accessibility lacks interest / the standard pose, the standard prose / said by someone who feels old and compromised / i hate people who remind me of myself / savage body / a museum gala where high cheekbones and higher hemlines rule / bad grammar makes me [sic] / good shit just gravitates to you like you have your own personal orbit and also you are a flaming ball of bitchface / i believe in Please and Thankyou / i believe in good fonts / just like any woman, we weave our stories out of our bodies / you have your own life, now

'i was burgled. they stole my valuable possessions but also my sense of security and trust in others. i was also, for the first time in my life, poor. then i won five grand. so that's nice.'
'its not every day you get to turn down the highest judge in the land for a job interview.
(a) - i probably wouldn't have got the gig. they interview geniuses, Oxford grads, PhD students, professional researches, real live scholars - deep thinkers with work ethics that'd put mine (Jewish as it is) to shame. the applicants would all be of the highest callibre. i'm good. but i'm no savant.
(b) - i've decided on my course for next two years and it doesn't involve Canberra.
(c) - i think one year of being a researcher will suffice. i don't think i need another. research is lonely.'

'but it's been so long that i forgot how to fix it.
i read a psychological study years ago that stated a high correlation between cityfolks with exposed brick in their apartments and overall feelings of contentedness. but correlation aint causation. so let me tell you a little something about my winter - it's cold, it's good, it's a little nervous. someone said the theme of this year should be decadence and i agree. i like winter best, i'm a winter creature, i like wearing more clothes and i hate sweat. i like seeing my breath. wearing big coats makes me feel tough and Eastern European, i like to think of everything in cyrillic and all us humans just crazy enough to brave it these few months. i like how awake the cold makes me feel. i like how the city smells clean this once each year. i like the dry sidewalks like we're in the tundra, in a cold desert where everything just rattles and everything is hard surfaces. cities are meant for the winter and so am i.
