So I'm hoping, ya know, I'm gonna go over now, and see the film, hope to find something like a bar thingie afterwards, and we'll see if I can stomach that. Um, ya know, it would be easier if I was with somebody, um, but it's just, um, I'm just like, How does anybody *enjoy* this? And I think they think it's silly, but, like, not in that weird cynical way that New Yorkers would think that this was silly? So....I don't get it.
Um, but I saw more of the city, and let's all come out here again, ya know, to go swimming. I'm like, even when it finally gets warm, and I do want to go to Bronti Beach which is supposed to not be like this, and whatever.
But, um, yeah, what a wacky little adventure. Um, I just, I don't know what to do with it. By the way, if you ask for a hamburger here instead of a burger, you get a burger with *ham* on it! Um, *laugh* oh my god, this place is so bizarre!
Um, about some other stories..I went on the ferry today. That was astounding. Um, wandered around, that was astounding. I found a print at an exhibit, um, at the New South Wales Library that you can order copies of things there. And it's, um, a 1909 picture of an American actress who became famous on her tour of Australia specifically for playing men. Specifically for playing the son of Napoleon. Um, I think this is the most fascinating thing in the world. It's this gorgeous picture of her in men's clothes in this really androgynous, attractive to absolutely everyone every way. I mean, it's fabulous, it's...of course, she's in short dark hair and dark features because it was 1909. But of all the souvenirs and talismans I could take back with me, um, from here..I hemmed and hawed over it and then I thought about it and I'm like, No, I need to do this. I'm going to go and order it tomorrow. It actually takes 10 days for them to print one up for me. But, um, I just thought that was fantastic.
So, um, yeah. Deep breath. Flicker Fest. I can do this. I can do this.
And oh my god. So non-organic(?). There's banners on every telephone pole. It's a Big. Event. In Sydney! But like these people? Flaky flaky flaky. And I don't think it's the Australian temperment this time. I think it's, like, the film asshole temperment. Wow, and this is the industry I want to be in more than anything in the entire world. Aaaaaaaah!
Ok, I go now.

Pretty good for a lot of obscure references. I'm going on about a Soul Coughing song in the least clear bit. And Tribeca is a neighborhood in NYC, and I was ranting about the lack of organization at FlickerFest, but if nothing else, the transcription captured my utter horror. You're brave to try to wade through that.
It's fun to try to do - good practice, and interesting stuff. (Good to hear I wasn't *too* terribly off, though I apologize for getting Flickerfest down as Flicker Fest - not a big deal, certainly, but had I been thinking, I would have gotten it right. Ah well!)
