Way to late.
I was gonna watch rage but it turned out they had 5 and a half hours of Fuucking madonna, well only a bit was the actual madonna sex thing. So I did a "Dark side of the Rainbow" thing.
I have been up real late lately.
I completely stopped choofing the other day, just for a break, and it definitely plays with your sleeping habits. But I am hopefully back at work on Monday, or at least this week, so it'll be back to 7 am starts.
I was at the indig college at scu in Lismore and thats where I got the exposure to alot of the dreamtime ideas and how the culture works.
It fits with other ideas I have come across, even as some form of Invisible Landscape. Songlines and all that goes with them.
I have pages and pages of course notes, but no scanner and not the heart to type chunks out, or I have already had more than a few links to back the ideas up.
Its not so much now, as always here. It happens not so much in the landscape we observe, but in a mythical one that is superimposed over it, or even makes up the foundations.
Canberra.... were you there for the fires?
I actually have some old family friends fromm Canberra, one's a geologist and seismologist, the other a steel drum player from Trinidad.
A good mate went there too.
Its bloody cold tho. Spent a week at ADFA back in87, The army and Air Force were head hunting me believe it or not. I did the selection process that year. Faled the psyche test.
they said come back when you learn how to tke orders. That was 20 years ago this year....
I am so glad that never happened.
back to the Invisible Landscape.
Thats a dense, heavy book. Well worth the read. I dunno how much still stacks up in ref to todays scientific understanding, probably a bit, but its v interesting all the same. but a slog.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
No wild dreams last night tho, just one of a giant cow in the paddock. A neighbour had a bull that size once, got out, we locked it up in here, got out again and killed another neighbours prize bull. That happened a couple of years ago and hasn't remotely been on my mind lately.
Maybe thats what your lecturer had in mind when he wrote off dreams. that sort of nothing dream that sometimes seems to be a recycling of images. I dunno dreams are weird.
