the cliffhanger that i love

, originally uploaded by magic is mine.

as a couple, we have been through tumultuous times, because he is a cliffhanger, and i am more a hugger. we are now sharing a sweet, but somewhat flimsy apartment by the sea and we are keeping each other warm and happy. i have grown a beard for cliffhanging behaviors.

i am so looking forward to summer times here, then i can proudly invite people over to this side of the river.

When i leave myself enough time to enjoy public transport rides, i really love it. slow stroll on melbourne trams, high school students, simple gratitude towards the person driving me. then then i start to miss rides in double decker buses in London, you get to see so much details up there.

a little ballad of new pens and pencils

a little ballad of new pens and pencils, originally uploaded by magic is mine.

while this little ballad was taking shape, i had a vision of it hanging in a nice museum with people walking by admiring it like how i'd admire a miro or klee. it has the quality; it is my museum piece! :p

recently i have had many thoughts about professional paths. i am seriously contemplating an art conservation course, but at the same time i get distracted when i read these amazing people's blogs about the thesis they are writing, the conferences they are attending, the ideas they are stimulating, and for a moment i'm tempted to give into academia. Or i look at these
amazing people's blogs and think that i should just dedicate to art. But i guess a person can't have all at once, and a resolution must be near.

an art workshop was held at the library last week, run by ghostpatrol and miso. holy cow! i found out she's only 21.

ha, and i had nightmares of my ailing body going around melbourne town pasting up my own illegal street art. oh, how i suffer!

this is what i drew when camille recorded her retina changes in the park

2010 has commenced, and nothing has happened, and now it is april time!

i had so many good feelings about this picturesque new year. but things seem to be down slope at the moment. these are the tasks i will perform to make it all better - 2010 will still kickass:

read 30 books
blog at least once a week
linocut prints
bookbinding
master my digital camera
new road bicycle
persian
volunteering

bang

bang, originally uploaded by magic is mine.

today i turn 29, i have never done this before, but today i thought it would be nice to note the state of my being. i am a little lethargic from a weekend fishing trip and i have just cleaned up my room. I often, still, find it hard to believe that dom and i are holding hands again, and for that, i feel very special in the excitement and comfort of love.

i have been working at the st. kilda library for 5 months now, it is almost a job too good to desire. it pays well, and allows me the freedom to do other things. Yet i have not done as much drawings as i would like to, and sometimes i crave for a more intellectually stimulating environment. so there are still so much to be worked out. i am always conscious that this too graceful stage of stability and comfort will run out, and i am working on it on it.

my creative energy is a bit low but i know it's there. i await the creative bang bang.

i have met some sweetest great new friends. i think about, and dearly miss one old missy, but i also withdraw.

i am listening to oliver mann, who is my new favorite.

i ought to be playing more music and sleeping less in the mornings.

i like sea shells.

new outfit

nice outfit, originally uploaded by magic is mine.

hey today i decided to write more of this blog in the english language, so i can be closer to the people around me. hence the new outfit. but of course there will still be patches of chinese writing which i think poetry and hopefully i will be able to express some of that in the english language.

windy day / nice outfit / babka bread.

everything look so good in the photos,

然後吵雜的聲音 偉大的志向圍繞著

一直在這裡頭打轉著，還要不停被社會的下一步 人群的期待給推著往下一直走

-----------------------


又回到了原點打轉 在大逃亡之後，

比上次還辛苦的轉著： 是沒有出口的事


就這樣，信念在中心點打轉著
一不小心 就把自己的態度 孤獨的自尊給轉掉了。

然後 everything look so good in the photos

吵雜的聲音越來越難消化。




若干年後，連打轉也沒力氣 像洩皮球般的一直被往前推時
信念在中心點發出了哀嚎 如 lenoard cohen 那般沉痛，

中心點發痛的吼著
