Ending the Bushfire
What can I say... Joh Bjelke-Petersen finally died saturay 23rd, and not a moment too soon. Memorable highlights from his political career include banning sex education from schools in Queensland, late night raids against universities, removing their condom machines, ensuring that Aboriginals had no rights, and openly supporting the Apartheid regime. More on the old fascist here
...I like adam connelly's paintings

Like a Bat out of Hell...
Well, well, well - hell, hell, hell. Moving countries again, making this the uhm, 7th time I move countries during the last 12 years. And make that the 11th time I move house in five years. All up, that makes this one, er... the 24th time I move house since I was 15, and that's not counting places in transit. I have livedin a lot of strange and a few terrible places. Some have had showers, others have been infested with spiders and wall-to-wall carpeting. I have lived with people I loved and people I detested. These houses and flats have been invariably filled with stuffed alligators, paintings of parisian madammes, smelly drunken punkrockers, wannabe artists, one real artist, students, drugaddicts, neighbourly whores, neighbourly war veterans, slobs, control freaks (me included), terrible cooks, and a couple of good ones, a few schizophrenics, lovely neurotic friends, strange men and a disgusting variety of pets and exes. This all sounds much more colourful than it was, at least most of the time. Sometimes it was fantastic. Lately I've been living with one person, and I have to say, it's been more interesting than all the rest of it. nuff said. I probably won't be posting much for a while after May the 1st. see youse.

Walkabouting II
The second day we came here. Squinting at the centre of the photo, one can just make out the
Avedøre power plant from the other photo (re:look below). This is a reservation for a LOT of birds, quite surpisingly, for most Copenhageners. The reservation also seems to magnetically attract quite a few strange people (and yes, some of them wear latex suits and gas masks at night) and the army is still clearing this area for undetonated mortar shells from the days when this area was mainly used as a military exercise area. The photo below is the birdwatching tower, and the limit for how far one can wander into the bird reservation.

walkabouting I
The last couple of days, we've been out walkabouting, which on the first day (we didn't bring a map) took us here. Strange landscapes out at Amager....much of it was artificially dammed up during the 2nd world war. The project consisted of approximately 700 Danish men, who were set to work out here, which saved them from doing forced labour in Germany. It's such an eerie but beautiful place.

I'm Okay - You're Not
Spring has sprung, and I think I'm having an identity crisis (cue to start humming the tune of "getting to know you"). Not completely unlike hitting puberty, but this time around, I don't even have the lame excuse of blaming my parents. I don't know where this is going, but I sure hope I don't come out the other side craving floral patterned curtains and with a newfound interest in, say, gay interior decorating magazines. But really, anything can happen.
I took this photo from a guy called david shrigley, some of his photos are great: Dave's photos
