John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

Looking forward to sitting at the bench in the Melbourne kitchen after a hard time mowing the lawn and relishing the fact that we no longer have want or need a BBQ... and ordering up some Sichuan saliva Chicken with black fungus...with chicken feet and pigs bowels on the side...and seeing what happens. The glass table in the pic will be replaced by our round oak table and five chairs. Why do Australian people either buy 4 or 6 chairs? 4 is not enough and 6 is too many. We have 5. Chairs are easy to carry anyway. Do I expect 6 people to ever sit at this table? I expect not in my life time. 4 is most possibly likely, taking into consideration a suitor for daughter. 5 gives you some lee-way should one of their parents also turn up. After we kill the boy, and bury him in the back yard, then the number of chairs necessary decreases by one anyway.

Watched Star Trek Beyond overnight. It's rubbish, much like the new JK Rowlings new film and the last Star wars film blockbuster. I fell asleep watching it. This whole fascination with CGI, aka 'fizzy things', and the dependence upon action rather than plot or character, and the dependence upon viewers having ADHD and an incredibly short attention span means that it is all basically, just another car chase scene.

Poem: Perfect
Poem: "Perfect".
by John Fitzpatrick 26 November 2016
Time is short time is sweet
time is everyone you meet
in the world or in the earth
there's taking life or giving birth
and so you work out best you can
how best to do your perfect plan.
Interesting studying Balwyn Victoria, our next suburbia...there is a street some way along the road from us truly named Lucifer Street. A house in Lucifer Street recently sold for 2 million dollars. If its in easy walking distance we will try to do some jogging up and down it at night. Lucifer Street? I wonder who lives at 6/66... The only other Lucifer St I know of is Lucifer St, Pattaya...Thailand, also known as Walking Street, but officially the real name of it is Lucifer St....and it is understandable why it is called Lucifer St and also why they prefer to call it Walking St for the tourists....when in fact, it is absolutely Lucifer Street.
