Naked In The Sky
(Day 3) Brunswick Street. The rooftop provided a unique view of the city. I convinced M that we should watch the incoming electrical storm from there. We discussed possible rooftop bars that would be open so late on a Monday evening. He agreed to pick me too and drive us in.

In the lift, as we assended together, from the ground floor (known as Naked For Satan) i again took a photo of the ceiling of the lift. That is the place where my Don't Look Down photo series started to really take off.

It was quite new on that original night, in 2014, when i thought to take a photo of the lift's ceiling light. Three art teachers saw me do it. They comment to me that they had seen and were impressed how it had turned out. I told them it was a series and my idea: get off your phones, look around, it is should be less depressing that way surely.

I gave them my business card. And later that night, coming home after drinking, i freshened up my website to look more professional. Perhaps one of these teachers would promote my project and it would blow up?

The project is ongoing. I'm proud to have kept it going for 10+ years and counting. It hasn't blown up. Yet.

We had a quick conversation by shouting accross the road - him in his car at the traffic lights & me waiting to cross the road I was up early and straight into the shower, rather than checking my phone too throughly. I feel that my morning scrolling is best done over a coffee – however tempting it is as a daily-first-thing to pick up the phone to check "all of the things" (news, chat notifications, email, wordle) It must have been too chilly for the chickens up on boronia rd. They were not out pecking in the yard which seemed unusual. Presumably the were huddled up in the coop – i couldn't really see in N and i went to Project Brewing in roweville for the first time. The beers were very good. I had a burger and we are quite sure they delivered a different burger than what i ordered - regardless it was tasty (even perhaps better ingredients than what i had chosen) Back to f...

Catfish (Mitcham - Vermont - Brunswick) Got home at 9:30am. Shower. Meditate. Back out 1-3pm Range Brewing tap takeover at co-conspirators, brunswick. Surprised by "The Don" And then Catfish in gertrude st. Garage Project takeover. Two highlights were the barrel sours Foragers for a final "full stop" beer ... or two. Boriggy Hazy IPA. N closed the door as we left the bar —habitually— as if they had called last-drinks, which next day we figured was too early by about 5 hrs. Hilarious In bed by 8:30pm or so

Foragers A few laid-back beers turned into a fairly big session of Jagermeister, huge barrel-aged stouts, and IPAs I've parked nearby, so i'll stay over at N's apartment tonight & leave early when she needs to go to work Overall i feel grateful & relaxed. I've heard some things that make me think that this fling might be a thing - unsure how i feel about that but for sure it's feeling overwhelmingly like positive vibes 12:21am
