I begin the day with Anger

I begin the day with Anger -

 

how DARE they do this to me?!

 

I sulk

 

and think

 

this ALWAYS happens to me…

***

 

my dreams are in Tokyo;

 

wooden floored bars,

 

a brass rail for my boot

 

Good People.

 

***

 

memories of then

 

are better than now

 

***

 

and now it’s gone

 

 

 

ah; happy again

NIGHT ONE – bULLI

dacca

the waitrees who set things straight

the straight stand

the mirroir

vibes

The Girls!

 

 

Yesterday, I was knackered!

 

Fell asleep in The Big Red Chair

at 10 pm

 

then again

 

at 1 am.

 

 

Struggled to the pallet

& awoke this morning feeling much better

 

yet very tired…

 

 

Worked hard all day,

accomplished some small things,

but was reminded more than once

of my failings…

 

 

Days like these

it’s goo to get home;

 

and when I do,

I’m usually in a pretty good mood.

 

 

 

NIGHT Two – Minkey

Oh – sublime!

Anthony the Mixer

Jamie the Barmaid

Deb the punter

 

Waal,

today is no exception.

 

There’s a lotta stuff to do

but I AM dealing with it

one tiny step at a time…

 

 

Tales of my trip to Melbourne

are in the hands of the censors…

Norman Kingsley Mailer (born January 31, 1923) is an American writer and, along with Truman Capote, is considered an innovator of Creative nonfiction.

 

 

Creative nonfiction is a genre of literature, also known as literary journalism and narrative journalism, which uses literary skills in the writing of nonfiction.

 

Bob Woodward of the Washington Post is also noted for his skills at narrative nonfiction

 

P. J. O’Rourke is a humorous nonfiction writer with political interests

 

John Angus McPhee is an author whose works reflect his oft-eclectic interests including oranges, Bill Bradley and Alaska.

 

Gay Talese wrote Frank Sinatra Has A Cold, one of the finest examples of journalistic nonfiction.

 

John Sack covered, among other battles, the one for Old Baldy

 

Tim O’Brien One attribute unique to O’Brien’s work is the blur between fiction and reality

 

It is not uncommon for many prominent creative nonfiction works to even be published directly, or be adaptations of one’s own work for industriously ethical publications like The New Yorker (for example, Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, or Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief).

 

Yo-Yo Ma (born October 7, 1955!) is a world-famous-French-born-Chinese-American-cellist.

 

His main performance instrument is a very fine Montagnana cello, “Petunia“, from Venice, made in 1733, which he once absentmindedly left in a taxi cab in New York.

 

He also owns a cello made by American luthier firm Moes & Moes, and has a carbon-fiber cello made by Boston firm Luis & Clark. [ha!]
