Love:
hammock
less foul temperatures
long weekend
reading
long phone calls...and short ones to loved people after a very long time
new films
new cds
old playlists
my brilliant ideas (car....trips....ambitious plans to sew)
bmx banditry in the bush! (even if it means going by myself)
Don't Fight It and Feist
Once - film AND soundtrack
new old dresses
chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate soy milk...chocolate meat?
my bed: a world of pillows and purples
fake weddings in ancient gorges in 80s clothes
red red wine
my bisportal status
the light right here right now
realisations that i am not the only one
friends
Hate:
funerals
feeling a million miles away
short trips home (though better than nothing)
bruises
drowning in a sea of red sand
jealousy
the smell of sewage
idiot journalists
idiots in general
sicknesses. and i don't mean colds.
cancer (there, I got specific)
playing the same dull music everyday
the cost of flights outta here
forgetting how fucking awesome some people are
letting bok choy go off
disbanding
wondering where i should be
broken mementos from overseas. (no, they are not "just thongs")
drunk drivers
never fixing very broken bits of my clothes
tourists who freak out when you go to ride past them and jump right in your path
restricted access to alcohol
mines. especially uranium. especially 25km from your home.
mood: Contemplative. Up after down. The Panics. Fresh Vietnamese food under the stars. Mega chocolate cravings in bed.

I hate letting bok choy go off too! So much upper class, first world angst! How can I let green vegetables go off when there are people STARVING. Cliche but true.
We did a story on poverty in Argentina under the new president. Her economic policies are hurting the poor (despite trying to help them), and one of the things we went to film was a soup kitchen for little kids. It was scary seeing how hungry these kids were, and how they fight over the bits of bread and black tea (the only thing they serve at the shelter). Every now and again they get a big donation and can afford to give the kids powdered milk for some protein. We decided to get a drive together at Reuters so they can drink milk each day for a few months. But after that money runs out, who knows.
Oh whoaaa
dude you should set up some account that people in aus can donate to and then you can buy them powdered milk.
