I can feel another change coming on. I have no idea why I put an analog clock on my blog except I quite like to know what time it is in different places and I have looked around blogs on my blog jogs and people seem to nest build on their blogs. Decorate a blog like their home or room. Fundamental to self expression and ownership, I guess. Even though we've had the rain and cold back, there is a definite change in the air and we even had a brilliantly warm day and night. Free at last from closed doors and windows, mountains of clothes, wet and being restricted and restrained. It's made me think it's time to rethink my blog. I have got a better idea of the changes I want and I guess just plonking a clock here tells me I can just do it...and you can see what time it is where I live! That'll excite you no end I am sure. You can get lost on the Net sometimes. Have a Netfest looking at sights and sounds and streaming music. You and your head can get lost in the screen and it's not like being sucked into a vortex. With very little effort you can be engaged in another place...like I was just in the Antilles because I ended up there from a link and it was great to see the pictures and then you get absorbed reading someone's travel journal or political discussion. People are coming out of themselves on the Net and there's some very amusing or immensely well thought out pieces to read and then there are striking things to look at. So , with no pain, no effort, you can wander around the Net in a very enjoyable way. It's different from film or television. But you know that. I was reading a blog about being boring and the triteness of expression was the thing which made it funny. It wouldn't work in another medium. It wouldn't be funny, it really would be boring. Don't understand people who say you don't need to think to use a computer. I am thinking all the time on a computer. It just doesn't hurt my head!! I had originally started this blog to give me a bit of a challenge putting something visual together. Then it went green and started to be about where I live and I had also meant it to be about the things we talk about in Adelaide and that's why I called it the talk of the town. We say we are going to town when we mean we are going into the city of Adelaide. Or, Have you been to town? We don't talk about Adelaide. The talk today is about the Port Power match in Melbourne tomorrow afternoon and heaps of people are going over there...well, most of them will be there by now. The whole city is so excited. It has reanimated our interest in the football. We always used to talk about football and live for football and I hated it...but it gives us life and animation. Like today. Everyone was so full of it. Even singing and making jokes. It was a great feeling. I haven't seen Adelaide that happy since we won the back to back premiership with the Crows! The whole town lit up in a really good way. Fun. We need fun.
