My sister is pregnant. Unprotected with a bartender in a parking lot and our mother loves it, her own soap opera. This is hardly a tragedy, but Mother is all dramatic empathy. She fills the house with her plans to avenge the honour my sister was supposed to have had. I must¡¯ve missed that one. They talk about suffering, their bodies, oppression and empowerment. They talk about patriarchy and motherhood. They talk about this with glances swiping at me, as though that could cleanse me of my birth defect. When they go gossipping through the shops, people think they are sisters. My mother enjoys this and doesn't bother to correct them. These d

My last journal entry on here is from April 2005 -- those of you who watch me might have noticed that I don't really hang about here anymore. But anyone who passes by, feel free to take stock photos; there's no need to ask. I'd appreciate it if you could link me to the finished work but it's not necessary. Thanks.

I love a lad who stands contrapposto while he's waiting for the water to boil. Seventh-generation Tasmanian on his mother's side or something crazy like that, but his posture is perfectly Hellenistic. And for the next two years he's actually an ephebe. I might just have to break every second lightbulb in the world so he's always emerging from chiaroscuro. We're living in the sticks, but don't fret; Clayton is cultured -- the cafe on the main street, Cafe Corso, is decorated with Caravaggio boys. Caravaggio boys! And so, my world is complete.

I lost my digital camera at Folkies and I can never be fucked scanning anything, so I guess that means the end of my DeviantArt career. I'm not so into blogging either these days. But I'll probably still scribble here now and then, tell you how I'm going, so no dramatic exits, no fare thee well, no over and out. Offline life's going grandly and I don't like to spend so much time in the net these days, so you might see a bit less of me here but I'll still be around.
