Adelaide- News Good and Bad
Just returned from an airborne sorty on the southern town of Adelaide. I’ve returned bearing folders filled with musty documents, a few boxes of forty-year-old slide photographs, and the thumbs-up from a panel of Creative Writing academics at Flinders University. I was hoping to return with an XG Falcon Panel Van, but despite risking life and limb doing reconnaissance on every car yard in Adelaide from a moving vehicle, the dreambeast eluded me. I cut my losses and came home to find that in my absence our papaya trees have grown a foot each in some type of pychogeographic compensatory manouvre.
The low point of the week was being told by a well-informed source that I am basically ineligible to recieve a scholarship during my PhD. The problem is that I had no forewarning in my impetuous twenties that in 2011 I would have serious cause to regret leaving Uni without an Honours Thesis. In today’s currency, that translates as a $66,000 mis-step, evenly spread over three years.
