This is how you do Wednesday afternoon...
Get in your car and unashamedly put on Meatloaf's dorkily awesome rock-ballad 'I Would do Anything for Love'.
Turn up super loud. As you drive, sing at the top of your lungs as though you are in the fantastically overblown and decadent nineties music video (try to do emphatic gesturing if possible). During the instrumental section, pick up the camera off the car seat next to you and take a photo through the rain dappled windscreen of the rainbow that has appeared during one of Melbourne's afternoon sunshine showers:
Let iPod shuffle take you into 'Computer Camp Love' by Datarock:
Car dance - wriggle in your seat, roll your shoulders and tap on your steering wheel as you sing along. If fellow drivers stare at you, look them dead in the eye with the unashamed certainty that you are having more fun waiting at the traffic light than they are. (Maybe they will catch on and start dancing along too.)
When you reach Melbourne city, hook turn with the panache of a Perthonality.
Once your friend has jumped in your car, giggle excitedly about anything and everything. Ditch car in first available parking spot in Carlton and run through the rain to Brunetti's on Faraday Street, even though you have three umbrellas in your car. Order a massive half-chocolate, half plain shortbread with a creamy nutella centre and a latte. Yuuuuuuuuum...
Stroll to Readings Books on Lygon and linger around its shelves, getting lost in your own world.
Get silly with your friend and sing slap-bass p0rn music as you cross the street, for no reason other than the fact that it makes you both laugh.
Rock up to La Mama theatre on Faraday. Take a photo of the lights on the fence you're leaning against in the courtyard.
Watch the play 'Speaking'. Enjoy the way it uses music, multimedia, sign language and fantastic performances to explore the complexities of interpersonal communication.
Eat a delicious dinner with friends and then, elated by all the fun you've had, drive on home, singing and car-dancing all the way.
Mood: Air's electro goodness and looking forward to a Saturday filled with friends and bears (dogs) running amok at our house.
