this post is little more than a massive shout out to amanda the pixie - better known to the aussies as ::ivy ireland::.
after many months of quiet, yesterday brought some pixie joy into my world, and left me blushing with her warm encouragements for my rambling musings.
as well as managing to make our dear friend miss this dirty auld city on the other side of the world (or the folks anyway), my recent post on annie proulx has her running, (or more likely skipping or dancing or yoga-ing) to go read brokeback mountain. my work here is done.
much love to amanda and her lovely sister mel. nice to know you're both browsing this virtual neighbourhood. welcome!

in other news, by dear brother got hit by 360volts on monday in a 'shocking' work related accident.
the accident was entirely preventable, as a result of someone's oversight or negligance (a metal light switch that supposedly had been permanently put out of operation but instead was sitting there 'live' waiting for someone to touch it) and could have happened to anyone. ewan believes he was meant to touch the one light switch in the entire university that was live in order to to avert an even greater disaster in someone else's life (maybe a frail and little older person with a pacemaker). that God used him in a special miraculous way. at least that's what he said he wrote on the incident report. :0)
regardless, he is thankfully fine and rumours of newly acquired special powers as a result of the incident have been wildly exaggerated. mostly by him.
the wildest was that he was "now living inside the internet, kind of like Tron, but with much better graphics".
but he has since, to my relief, confirmed he was only kidding. "the graphics aren't that much better".
there just ain't no one like him. 6ft2 of comedy genius. my bruvva.
x.
