that decadent ice cream, magnum, now comes in 60s flavours. the one i really want, “cherry guevara”, has thus far eluded me, but i have tasted “guava lamp” (where the guava strip running through the vanilla has an unexpected marshmallowy texture… well, you’ll expect it now) and “choc work orange”, my first experience of which was walking up the street and seeing an empty wrapper lying in the gutter and instantly wanting one.

it turned out to be pretty tasty — milky chocolate ice cream inside orange-flavoured white chocolate shell — although almost outdone by the fine bit of taken-too-farness on the back of the wrapper:

having recently spent like, $311 on new spectacles, which the shopgirl (“frame consultant”) assured me were *very* fashionable and just what everyone was wearing in paris at the moment, and which ironically made me want them less, and which obviously in the end didn’t matter because I got them anyway… i was kinda hoping that my level of blindness would stabilise for a while. and i think it did. but this week, with noise kicking in for the year, and print deadlines growling, baring fangs and schwiping claws at me from every direction, i feel helpless against the pulled-tight eye muscles that reward me at the end of each day. living in soft focus isn’t quite as romantic as it sounds.

a weekend so packed with punch it took me a week to sufficiently recover to construct this new toy. friday: pearl jam at the sydney entertainment centre. it’s been five years since i last saw them, and leading up to the night doubt clouded my mind… was i too old to be this excited about a rock show? would my seats be crap? and other stuff.

all partly unfounded. in the belly of the entertainment center, pearl jam went off.

the staff don’t quite frisk you as you go in, but they did make me empty out my indie rock, strawberry print handbag made for me by one fiona cleverly at work, because y’know, i look like such a terrorist.

speaking of which, the rally at hyde park on sunday was somewhat bigger than i thought it would be. so crowded in fact, that when everyone moved off the park to march the streets, the volume of bodies immediately filled the entire route, causing a gridlock standstill for, like, hours it seemed. half a million people rallied across australia, all of whom have now been condemned as unaustralian supportors of saddam hussein by mr howard. onya!

this year… where will we go?
