I'm posting from The State Library stand at the Ideas at the Powerhouse in Brisbane.

Alex just called to tell me that most of Ontario and New York is in blackout. CRAZY! I feel so far removed. Here I am at this festival of ideas, while most of the world at home is realizing just how much they depend on electricity.

Had a tour of Queensland Art Gallery today. The tour guide was strange. She refused to acknowledge my presence! I wonder if perhaps she thought I was American (sidebar: there's a book here called "why we hate america" and I want to read it).

I'm reading such a good book right now. Tales of a Female Nomad. Outstanding. Inspiring.

I'm all about inspiration right now. I need to explore some new ideas. I am feeling dissatisfied. There has to be more...

Tonight I'm going to see a dance performance at QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Centre).
