ljpliceaseI was down at Circular Quay yesterday with Torbin and Judy (friends of my mother's) and I heard someone playing the
Super Mario Bros. theme on a tuba. It reminded me of my friend Tyler who is a sound designer for EA. On
our sojourn through the botanical gardens, we ran into a guy who works for Condi Rice, who was apparently down
here at the time.
There were helicopters buzzing about like mad all day. Torbin and Judy opined that they were there to offer protection to the sec-state. After her time in Sydney, she went down to Melbourne to watch the commonwealth games. I watched a little of the games on the TV. England and Scotland compete separately for these games, and Australia dominates the swimming and the bicycling.
I took a number of pictures of the opera house when I wasn't being rudely shooed away by foreign tourists with their own, apparently more important, cameras:
Here are some more dusk city line shots I took from the apartment:
I told a friend of mine once that my only atlas was so old that it still had the USSR on it, and that I wasn't sure if the Ukraine's borders had changed since the fall of the soviet union. She said that it is better to keep such documents around rather than to erase and re-write history as in 1984.
At my auntie Rae's house I found a world map on the wall in which Australia is part of Antarctica. Before Paul Hogan and before Men at Work nobody in America had ever much heard of Australia. This map reminded me of that.
Apparently we have come along way since the 70s.
I finally cleaned up some pictures that I took while I was in Utah:
