i jumped off and in
on a small mat
in a tiny room
complete with a wandering cat
and chatty co-participants.
the relaxed feeling
stayed at least until mid-afternoon
but wisps of it
come back to me
in idle moments.

dream: I called an old friend. “Next time we play, my character’s going to [what?] to X’s character.” He didn’t say much in reply, mostly giving in to the silence that surrounds such moments. If only I could remember what it was I wanted to do, and why it was so important to call him about it.

The Pink Stainless Tail have released their take on RMS’ Free Software Song (previously, among others). As with much of their other output the song’s available under a Creative Commons license, in what I suppose makes for a rather nerdy ironic twist. update: oh, and there’s a video, too.
oliver mann residency at the edinburgh castle →
I made it over to the Edinburgh Castle last night to catch the raggedy blues experience that is John Fox, and noticed a flyer for Oliver Mann, who has a Saturday evening (5-7pm) residency during March (ie. the 1st through to the 29th). Now’s your chance!
bundoora express →
catch the tram to the end of the line
to walk along the new grass
at the edge of a new shopping centre
“opening in 2008″
next up is the great northern ring road
stand underneath for a moment
listen to the road above
rumbling with traffic
and, y’know,
stop thinking about work, willya?
you’re supposed to be on holiday.
over the hills
past a bustling strip mall
(no, really)
