so on sunday afternoon i goto see these sculptures that are strategically placed along the bronte to bondi beach walk, creatively called "sculpture by the sea" - it's done and finished now so don't bother going to it, they're probably packing up shop and disassembling the sculptures as you read this.
a friend of ours, who had won a university medal in engineering showed us a shortcut to bronte, it turned out to be the LONGEST SHORTCUT ever, then i realised that he had some ladies in his car that he wanted to spend some quality time with - i couldn't argue or get angry with that, so good for him.
anyway, if you had walked from bronte to bondi without critically analysing each sculpture it would've taken roughly 25 minutes, we had arty farty people with us so we took 4 hours - one way.
you can purchase some of the sculptures as well, you have these black cardboard cutout dogs held up by a bit of glue and paddle pop sticks, eighteen hundred freaken bucks for EACH of these mutts. $1,800! not to mention the cardboard looked like them cheap arse cardboard boxes you pack stuff with when you move, you know, the ones that franklin gives away for free? just spraypainted black.
no offence though, alot of the sculptures were very creative, particularly that big bad ass elephant made from old TVs and a naked mannequin for its right arse cheek, but the dodgy cardboard cutout dogs were..... well..... very very dodgy.
several of the sculptures were so strategically placed that you could only enjoy its visual majesty from one angle cos if you wanted to see it from the other side you'd slip and fall off the cliff and die a miserable death.
i walked away that day unscathed except for a nasty tan line around my neck, toner legs and a small blister on my right pinky toe.

hey, put some pics up!
The tan line on your neck is quite obvious... haven't seen your pinky toe... but the bball-caused-blister on your big toe is damn nasty!
I've got a paper mache cat made from recycled accounting standard and CA module paper...would you like to buy that?
4 HOURS ONE WAY?! Holy crap.
Dude, all the money from the sale of those little carboard dogs goes to the Children in Detention fund... so it's a good cause..
Oh yeah, and that shortcut was all Quang's idea... I had nothing to do with it..
Muddy,
