one month in paradise

yesterday was my one month anniversary at the arts factory. and i have paid work again this week! which is good because now i can eat again. :)

last weekend charlie and i stayed the night at her friend isaac's place. isaac lives on the top of a mountain in the rolling hills and jungles surrounding the little neighbouring town of mullumbimby. he lives with his dad and little sister in a completely self-sufficient house running on solar power, compost toilets, and an ample organic garden. the rooms are little cabins connected together by boardwalks through the trees. we swam in the creek and covered ourselves in different colours of oka- a natural clay that aboriginals once painted themselves with for war or ceremonial purposes. some pics are now available on the slideshow.

i have to admit though- as i was being driven into the mountain after dark, i began to feel a little bit "wolf creek"ish. it was a great time though, and i look forward to hiking the mountain in search of geods next time.
