Sydney sign off

No pics today: all I did was sleep and go out to dinner at Bloodwood, which I recommend especially for cocktails and late hours.

I gotta love a town where a) restaurants are still jumping after 2100, b) I don't have to tip, and c) the food's terrific. I'll have to teach them what a gimlet is on my next trip. This is your nun, signing off from Sydney.

Way back in 1999, I went to one of my friend D's Halloween parties dressed as Sister Wendy Beckett, the nun who does the art history shorts on the BBC. It was only partly a spoof: I really do think she has lots of insightful things to say about the art. It also says something good about Britain that they'll put someone who looks & sounds so funny in front of a TV camera.

As it happened, D ran a MOO, and soon gave me a character named sistawendy. I've been taking that username from one online forum to another so people would know who I was ever since.

Wow, that's quite a history!
