This is completely and vehemently not the detailed update you're looking for; well, perhaps not vehemently, as that implies a certain amount of energy, and I am existing in a state of rarefied exhaustion brought on by a mild cold and a weekend spent gadding my merry way around the Melbourne CBD. And tomorrow I need to spend frantically doing the two assignments that I neglected in favour of said gadding. So...this update will be lacking in depth.
Melbourne was visited. Anthony Warlow's Phantom was attended, and I know I won't be able to do justice to that experience with my current level of brain functioning, so I'll just say that it was sublime. I ate a lot of nice food and read I, Lucifer which was even better than I expected it to be and now I will resent Glen Duncan forever for writing the book that SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE TO WRITE, DAMN IT.
- Three books from the secondhand markets at Federation Square (Hilary Mantel's Beyond Black, Chuck Palahniuk's Lullaby and Roberto Calasso's The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony).
- One set of chain fire poi (O HAI HOLLY) from the art markets near the NGV.
- Two 21st birthday presents for friends, also from the art markets.
- One pair of silver-and-turquoise earrings and one silver snake bracelet from a jewellery store in the Southgate mall.
- One pair of jeans from the Jeanswest clearance outlet.
- One goooorgeous red dress for this year's psych ball. Cheap! And designed by the owner of the funky independent fashion store! And...red. Its redness is its most obvious and endearing feature. It was high time I owned a red dress.
I may not be around a lot for the next week - heaps to do. Alas, I hear you all say, with a sad shake of the head, she's returning to her default state of only being online at wildly sporadic and perpetually inconvenient intervals!
Which, well, mea culpa. You know how life goes.

I can understand, however, how he might have that effect. ;) WHY can we not go somewhere and practice spinning. I need it anyway. *sulks* Also, send pictures!!!!
Okay, I'm getting I, Lucifer. But I'm betting yours will be different enough that it really won't matter that someone else also wrote a first-person account. Actually, I'm certain it won't matter.
*goes back to incoherent flailing*
