oh-oh-spaghetti-oh!

Today I had class from 9am-5pm, our minds devoured so much knowledge, I am well and truly delighted and exhausted.
During class, we went over the permaculture principles:

Listening to: Erase and Rewind - The Cardigans

This is an interesting read: Agriculture- Rudolf Steiner, LINK
&
Permaculture Designer manual - Bill Mollison (not light reading), LINK

And here is a nerving graph we examined, see enlarged graph: LINK
Fossil fuels have an enormous influence on our civilisation, and it is a finite resource. Mmm.

Melbourne Permaculture designer Adam Grubb talks about edible weeds. (He is one of my tutors, so glad younger people are into this). I've been studying edible weeds and it makes me salivate.

2012-01-05T13:09:00.007+08:00

A room tour has been requested many times, so here it is. My bedroom is within a 100+ year old building, the window overlooks an alley. Spray cans and rapid paws plod along the alley around 3am, and sometimes I make old man sounds to frighten those walking by.

Some new work on the tumblr: www.shibuffalo.tumblr.com

A brief tastetest of the show's 'theme'.

The piece I'm working on will take a solid week, but the end result will be saucy. On an unrelated note, grocery shopping must be done today. Lentils, porridge and raw carrots have been my sole diet the past 8 days. If only I were a trustfund baby, joke* A midget budget can be fun & character building.

The big white bird flew in at 6.15am, Melbourne greeted me with a sharp 4°C and blue skies. The day was a blur of familiarising myself with home, playing with the chickens and preparing vegetable beds. I fell asleep by 8.00pm. There is much to do today: groceries at the markets, develop film, bake bread, write letters and continue on a large-scale bird* piece.

It is that time of year when academic deadlines loom before you. My eyes and hands were still at work by 4am this morning, it is beyond midnight yet again and I continue to work. Today was mad-productive, I also made 4 complete zines ready for distribution around the globe!

Q&A

2011-10-05T14:03:00.003+08:00

I feel as though you and I would get along like a house on fire! Do you like kombucha?
Is that not live bacteria & yeast? I heard it’s good for detoxing!

what were you like at 13? 16?
Lonely, miserable and weird. Those years weren’t too kind.

Are you vegan?
No, because on occasion I consume chocolate and blue vein cheese.

shi! how come u never answer my questions? i didn't think they were too explicit or invading... im just curious!
Hello, don’t be offended for the delays. I run my website on my own sweet time, you just need to be patient.

Have you done drugs?
Yes.

7 things you dislike?
Housing without plants or animals.
Most children.
When I see someone ‘like’ an animal protection group, only to see them devour meat, flaunt animal fur & commit shit-all to benefit the Earth.
When others let gender, age etc create barriers between relationships.
Close mindedness.
Swimming carnivals.
Loneliness.
Instand food.

i've always wondered how you post the play bar from youtube, but not the video (pour exemple, when the music is lovely, but the visual is only an album cover or ugly slideshow)?
Beneath the youtube video, copy + paste the ‘embedded’ code, alter the width and height to your liking.

can you share your inspirations with us?
I’ll share something weekly.
