Fishwick Papers: The "Wuh Oh" Edition

Hullo, you delightful wonder.Things in Melbourne are really quite well. This week I switched hayfever medication and suddenly stopped incessantly sneezing. I've started looking for a place to live (I'm currently roomsitting in Brunswick), and I'm beginning to catch up on all the writing and admin things I told myself I'd do while I was here. Ends are being wrapped-up! Plans are being hatched!Today I had my first tour of ACMI's archive / collection, with masses of home videos, projectors, retro equipment (A Sinclair ZX80, anyone?), and bizarre films about two-headed calves and milking mice. It was awesome.Anyway, here are some things I think you might like. Enjoy!
