This will hurt me...

The world's ugliest concert hall? March 2010. Aove you can see the exterior of Hobart's Federation Concert Hall . Nothing says ' class like dented corrugated iron sheets! I've not been in there, but I suspect that it looks like a dog kennel, only with red velvet seats. Today is the first day after I finally managed the last day of wage slavery at the previous job, and what am I doing? Going to school!?!? It's a good thing that we're talking pre-kindergarten. I reckon that I'll ace the tests and should be able to throw my weight around the playground. Lindisfarne North Primary , here I come!

Even beer kegs on the bag of a truck can make for an interesting photograph, if you try hard enough. There is a quote from Günter Grass' novel The Tin Drum that I like very much, and I think captures the feeling of a kind of nervous energy that I was trying to put words to the other day. "...At this moment I undertsood the fatal lure of the thirty-foot springboard; little grey kittens began to wriggle in my knee joints, hedgehogs mated under the soles of my feet, swallows took wing in my armpits, and at my feet I saw not only Europe but the whole world." I really like that. If you've not read the book, give it a go.
