This journal contains mostly public art posts with my more personal entries as friends-locked. For more information on who I am, where I live, and what I like (television, movies, books, interests), see my profile. Feel free to add me for my art, and drop a comment if you would also like to be subjected to my dreary personal posts. For now, have an excerpt from the book I am currently reading (or, quite possibly, have just finished):
Who doesn't like a little Raymond Chandler? Not one of his more well known Marlowe stories, but still with the same lovely turn of phrase as the other, more popular, novels. This particular excerpt reminds me of an exhibition I viewed at the Sydney Justice and Police Museum, “City of Shadows”. Some of the men had those same eyes that Chandler describes, above. Chilling and enthralling.
“They had the eyes they always have, cloudy and gray like freezing water. The firm set mouth, the little wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, the hard hollow meaningless stare, not quite cruel and a thousand miles from kind.”The Little Sister, by Raymond Chandler

Miss me? I'll just assume you did and save you the trouble of commenting. I'm considerate like that.

Away.

I shall be away from 30.7 - 9.8.2009; camping, hiking, singing, and photographing in Central Australia. This time it is another 100km of the Larapinta Trail finishing in Hermannsburg.
Stay well! And I shall see you when I return.
