(: If anyone would send out an Aussie search party for me I would request,
in no particular order: Baz Luhrmann (director), Cate Blanchett (actress),
Miles Franklin (writer) and Paul Keating (former prime minister). And yes,
I dragged something like 12 books all the way up and all the way back. The
ironic thing is, the only ones I really got a good read of were a biography
of Mary Pickford and a rock book about a guy who toured with Nico from the
Velvet Underground in the mid 80s. The rest were hurriedly returned to
avoid library fines. However, they SHALL be retrieved as I am already bored
being back at home!
P.S. Add Les Glass to the search party (:
