Fires fail to flameout festive holiday road toll

Ethan Switch - Friday, 15 January 2010 - 06:05:01

Life takes a toll on death, dying as the screams from inside the crumpling metal chassis wreck in careening pile-ups on the nation's highways and streets. Trumping the year before, this season's merry wave of 70 corpses bests that of the last by the sixteen wheels of a semi-trailer.

Wither the walk of the weepy, weakly

Ethan Switch - Thursday, 26 November 2009 - 23:54:33

Blinded by obsolescence, stuck between yesterday and not quite ready for today. There in the twilight that exists in the headaches of many and in the dreams of the comatose. A treasure lies in the Fresh Kills Landfill.

One breath is eight too many

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 9 September 2009 - 09:09:09

Free falling through morning, a sparrow takes a dive. Calm, clipped and beating a heart of dispassionate wanting. Of something else. Anything. Nothing. A lot of things.

Easter road toll flips the flaming wrecks back to NSW

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 15 April 2009 - 22:26:19

Fry away the broken eggs and scrambled legs; New South Wales returns to Easter corpse making form. Upending the body count of 2008, the state showing up last year trying to unlock its doors with a wooden spoon is back again on the top of the heap.

Whales on this beaching feeling

Ethan Switch - Thursday, 26 March 2009 - 20:52:47

Off the coast and back again; a telling tale of whales and premature farewells. No sooner than finding the cool waters again off Hamelin Bay, thanks to the large effort of volunteers helping them back, a gam of whales find their bellies sandy once more only a day later. This time on the grains roughing the coast off Flinders Bay. Choppers above not a strong enough ushering force with the pod hitting the reverb for the repeat beaching.

Dozen more scrambled eggs on holiday road toll over easy 2008

Ethan Switch - Tuesday, 6 January 2009 - 21:42:04

Sizzle, crack, pop and taste twisted omelettes with the sunny-side up. Outperforming the previous holiday road toll season, 2008-2009 wrapped more in black to return to days above the half ton. Racking in 54 corpses between the period of December 19 and January 2, it returns from a frightful fill of last year.

Anzac Day tolls of death over days of three

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 30 April 2008 - 22:34:55

Falling under the sound of twisting metal and busting glass, a quiet toll on the roads over the Anzac period. Hush the tones scrawling tyres with a less than stellar sideline of followers, chalkers and tally enthusiasts.

Easter road toll 2008 snookers two little ducks

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 26 March 2008 - 22:05:55

Bunnies, bilbies and bodies, oh my. Crashing is the rightly ritual of the road toll and this year continues that tradition in double deuce fashion.

One day it will all fade away

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 30 January 2008 - 13:57:10

Then they will come around and ask for the hand that falls far from the tree. With no wrinkles nor blemishes. Only bones, webbing and the stark claw of dirt and a life of grime underneath the screaming dialect that exists a sliver of truth along the fingernails.

Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoƻt
Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives
Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.
Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park
Dark and neverending is the trail of a labyrinth below Edmonson County, Kentucky. Beyond the shallow graves and lime walls, Mammoth Cave is the literal long tail of cave systems. Alas, no minotaurs or woolly mammoths call the caverns home.

Undone, unbound, the sounds aground, life's taking the train with a soundtrack of harmonic dissonance, of inner turmoils and evolutionary spotchecking.
