13. we cannot pronounce buenos aires

i don't seem to be very good at finding time for creativity on the weekends. i hang out with mark a lot during the day and in the evenings i usually go out.

i read a lot this weekend, though. i finished what i talk about when i talk about running and i made headway on the history of love and how we are hungry and the master and margarita.

i've started reading the dice man too. it's funny and compelling, probably the most compelling book i've read in a while.

and i worked out an arrangement to a song called "band on every corner" by the whitlams. well, it's a bit ambitious to call it an arrangement. but i worked out the chords and transposed into a good key for me and fiddled with the lyrics a tiny bit so that they were appropriate for a young lady like myself. it's a cracking little tune. sounds like old australian folk song. great little melody

13. we cannot pronounce buenos aires
i started a travel blog today! for those who've missed the boat, my friend robocop and i are travelling in south america between february and august next year. so i made a joint blog for us to use, although who knows if ro will use it? it took me a long time to sort out a layout (n.b. the layout is completely ridiculous) and i also wrote two entries. i'm not sure whether this falls strictly under the "creative" umbrella but i'm going to put it there, it certainly felt creative enough.



you may have guessed that it is called we cannot pronounce buenos aires. apparently this is incorrect and robo can in fact pronounce it so i guess that was my first mistake.

love love love
