I was just reading Issue #11 of this online magazine, which explores issues relating to the production and consumption of food and other resources. It’s really colourful and interesting and covers a lot of the concepts I researched during my uni studies – in which I focussed on issues such as the environment, agriculture, and food production.

19 October 2011 - Melbourne, Australia

My life is pretty uneventful. Once in a while random things will occur to make it remotely interesting, but generally speaking I have to find my joy in the mundane. The very mundane.

So, I go for a walk along a polluted creek, and admire the sight of a bird perched in the branches of one of the many dead trees.

Then I sit in a cafe and read the Ancient Christian mystics, taking copious notes and drinking a whole lot of coffee.

Then I play Sim City for a bit…

Sim City for iPhone

… and I don’t think I’ve ever played it without a cheat code…

Then I (cruelly, perhaps) Instagram-ed this photo of a bunch of roses. The original photo was taken on an iPhone 4S. (All right, I did NOT intend to write a whole post of iPhone references but, as mentioned earlier, my life isn’t too exciting.) The 4S isn’t mine, it belongs to someone else in the house, but I do like the photos that come off the phone.

Oh, look! Dandelions. Staring at them for half an hour will keep me mildly amused.

It was a hot day, and I was feeling frustrated by my distance from the beach. I grew up in an area close to the coast, and I desperately miss the beach. So, I took some pavement chalk and a pile of seashells and created a temporary beach on the garden path. It didn’t really help a whole lot.

Oh, and I also graduated from university with an honours degree in arts (sociology). In Australian terms, it’s a requirement to get into postgraduate research, such as a doctorate. I got H2A (Second Class Honours, Division A).

maybe I will let the words fall out a torrent of pent-up thoughts caught for so long in my heart with nowhere else to go already treading dangerously close to the precipice overlooking the secrets trapped in the deep recesses of my soul never touching the light of day crushed hopes buried under sorrows and no good could come of this if I let the words fall when I’ve guarded them for so long now
