Just got pranged up swerving to avoid a jaywalking douchebag texting whilst ambling through my green light in Carlton. Grrr.
It’s 34.6°C in Melbourne. I am dreaming of this giant minty humbug iceberg (from here).
Tintin in Frankston.
This is a) one of the best things I’ve ever seen and b) a reasonably accurate depiction of the day I got engaged in Frankston.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres is my favouritest artist ever. Time to go stalking him at the museums again.
Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) - Felix Gonzalez-Torres, 1991
From the Art Institute of Chicago:
Felix Gonzalez-Torres produced work of uncompromising beauty and simplicity, transforming the everyday into profound meditations on love and loss. “Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) is an allegorical representation of the artist’s partner, Ross Laycock, who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1991. The installation is comprised of 175 pounds of candy, corresponding to Ross’s ideal body weight. Viewers are encouraged to take a piece of candy, and the diminishing amount parallels Ross’s weight loss and suffering prior to his death. Gonzalez-Torres stipulated that the pile should be continuously replenished, thus metaphorically granting perpetual life.
this is in Chicago obviously, and really it’s just a pile of candy in the corner. I dunno I wish there was more explanation to it because really no one sees all this backstory all they see is FREE CANDY. i dunno
