izmeinaIzzie is still in lurking mode and spending lots of time these days either squiggling or lurking in Nanoland
But just could not let the day go by without mentioning two most delicious and spooky discoveries
The program for next year's Arts Festival came out last Thursday. The Izzie's beady serpent eyes nearly popped out of her head. Was sitting in Antz cafe with a bunch of quirky squigglers peeking at the paper for the occasional distraction
The Queen of Celestial Sirens will be gracing these shores with her presence next year. Been a long long twenty years.
Could not get to the concert hall quick enough to get our paws on a most precious ticket. But the evil Goth teasers have a pecking order where the friends of the festival get first pick and the plebs have to wait until Monday to get theirs. Such cruelty
Tried again at a different agency on Saturday. Looked all good for a seat in the fourth row until the inevitable question came up about a certain Friends of the Festival pass
Well today the long wait was over. Those juicy seats were long gone but still managed to snaffle one in the ninth row.
Strange how the Izzie had commented only recently that listening to Dead Can Dance music was the thing that finally had all the muses queuing for very productive weekend down south. Lisa must have been listening.
Decided to make a habit of doing the unplugged nanowrimo thing. So tomorrow morning will be devoted to getting from the spiral notebook to the pages of Scrivener.
And in a fit of total decadence also took the opportunity for another bit of indulgence
Wade DaviesThe American Zombie Hunter is coming to Oz. Last October he gave a talk about Pacific Islander sailors that was so fascinating it was worth waking up at 3 in the morning to hear it again
Must go dust off our old copy of "The Serpent and the Rainbow"
And then there's so much juicy stuff for next year's Writers Festival too. China Mieville and Margaret Atwood amongst others will be there.
Izzie will be a cheapskate as usual. As most of the expensive sessions with the big names are often broadcast later on Radio National so there's no need to spend at all
Such a feast of beasts. And between the television drama with the brilliant title "Devil's Dust" and the latest fix of incidents on Batavia's Graveyard, there's no end of evil inspiration
Tomorrow will be off to the Supreme Court for the last evening of the Divali festival. Was there this evening and even as an outsider one could sense the spookiness and magic. A festival of lights with a fire in a cauldron and a procession of drummers are always good ingredients for a bit of mystery and magic.
And soon it will be time to stop the slacking and get out there looking for a real (toad free) job :(
