Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

Yo Gordy!

November 8th 2008 11:34
Meet my good mate Gordy!

He is the brainchild of some of my very creative friends up in Newcastle, NSW.

In Newcastle we like to have house parties and drink at home, we would each grab a cask of Fruity Gordo Moselle (or assorted box wine) from the bottle-o, drink it and then fight over the house (spare) cask . . . there was once a massive argument that involved some serious note-writing where we drank the spare and forgot, but blamed it on the guy who went to bed early (we thought he was obviously hiding it under his bed - the audacity! haha) . . . these photos are taken in a big sharehouse in the poor end of town that nearly everyone ive ever known has lived in at some point . . . i love looking at this set of photos!

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 12:11

Comment by alt_ed

November 8th 2008 12:22
yeah I thought you must have.. I mean what other explanation is there for her exclusion from your blog eh...?

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 12:24
hi alt_ed,
i just looked her up and apparently "she" was a he - androgynous little thing!

Is this a Gordy hate post? Will Gordy get mad at me if I post a comment?

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 12:36
hi Cheryl,
chateau cardboard! haha
hey those guys did that photo shoot when i wasnt even there . . . i really cant take any of the credit!
i can empty them but im not sure if i could stack 'em in human shape!

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 12:39
hi Ruby,
if simply mentioning the name of Gordy constitutes a "Gordy hate post" well . . . hmmmm oh i so torn . . . i just love the Gordy so much, i dont even know if i could joke about hating him!
(but watch out he might save this post and refer to it next time he has his periods)

I really want to see Homeless Heater now.

Comment by alt_ed

November 8th 2008 12:39
Oh, so she was a he, and he was a he-ater? or a H-ater?

Ruby, can you just f*** of and die... I'm sick of your bullying you grumpy old git!!

Introducing Homeless Heater: an intimate portrait



"I'm a well-educated and travelled Oil Burner heater, getting on in life so I guess that's why I like to do things the good old fashioned way. I've had a hard time recently, damn Global Warming, it hasn't been cold at all and I feel unappreciated. My wife left me for a Hot Water System two houses down and the kids just want to be Air Conditioners, I don't see them much anymore."

hi alt_ed,
manners please!
its a demented old git!
hey do you like how Gordy is in the back of a uterus?

Comment by RubySoho

November 8th 2008 13:04
haha demented. i have to say that really felt good. one one hand i'm disappointed in myself for getting sucked into arguing with him again...but on the other he really is a sanctimonious twat and a demented old git.


Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 13:18
hi Ruby,
"or what? are you going to patronise us to death"
i paraphrase . . . i couldnt be bothered wading through to find your exact words
it was such a fabulous mental picture you painted!

Comment by RubySoho

November 8th 2008 13:34
haha. yeah that was pretty much it. like seriously " I will give you two days to form your arguments". how condescending.

oh look i haven't used capitals, call the F7 police. you know the funniest thing about his F7 comments? He told norm off because he thought norm was making fun of his spelling and starts rabbiting on for ages about how much of a loser norm is because norm loves F7 and who cares about the spelling when the content is what's important? i really don't think i have ever come across a bigger hypocrite in my life. not that i've met him and hope i never will.

and raven is calling me names again. apparently i am a "walking womb of death" and i hate my father. haha. if you are going to create an alternate personality, as least try slinging a few different insults.

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 13:45
hi Ruby,

haha yeah i think hes given up trying to hide it - if you say something about Raven suddenly Nevar logs on and says "actually if you want to know what i think just ask me" . . . im a little unclear as to whether we are supposed to treat them as different personalities or the same!

also i have no idea what F7 is even referring to - must be some pre-1980s net lingo for spell-check i guess?

Comment by RubySoho

November 8th 2008 13:54
well when i press F7 i get a pop up box saying the "caret browser' is on. whatever that means. but yeah, i guess he means spell check. i think the demented old git is just showing his age. i know i should stop saying that. but man what a fiasco. i guess its true what they say about the butterfly effect. a butterfly flaps its wings and all hell breaks loose.

Wow Ruby, not the wandering womb of death or the unholy uterus or frolicking fallopian tubes of death? I'm getting this picture in my head that you are behind every abortion ever performed with pitchfork in hand and a burning bible in the other. If you hold the bible with the pitchfork, you could roast marshmallows with it.

Morgan, is homeless heater's name Peeheater? That's one very bright loo seat.

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 8th 2008 15:19
hi Ruby,
so many fiascos so little time . . .


hi Cheryl,
frolicking fallopian tubes . . . now thats a new one!
i think Madonna might be doing that pitchfork idea on her next album cover!
im glad you had time to admire the toilet seat cover, with that amount of time on your hands you could probably help Ruby out with her global abortion clinic!

G'day Gordy!
If you could animate him, he could really say a lot. Oh, the things he'd say. Oh, the things. So many. Things. My, my.

He's a corker! Well, maybe not a corker. A bottler! No, not that either. Just don't let ed get a chance to punch a hole in him. He'll do it.

hi Norm,
Gordy is a great conversationalist!
one day you too will drain the Gordy with me, you will have a sore head afterwards, but it will be fun at the time!

hahaha, looks the the Homeless Heater is performing a back-yard abortion in that pic

hi alt_ed,
you have a wild imagination!

No Passion Pop? Hey, the party's getting rough.

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 9th 2008 11:24
hi Janet,
i prefer Passion Pop but sometimes when you gather your loose change you only come up with enough for the cask!
you of course regret it in the morning with the infamous "cask wine headache" (who knows what chemicals they use to preserve the goon sac!)
perhaps thats why i still look at Passion Pop like a special treat!

Comment by Janet Collins

November 9th 2008 11:53
I just thought you had such a "passion" for it and it just wasn't there. So I was a bit confused.

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 9th 2008 11:57
hi Janet,
i think these pics were taken circa 2006 . . . maybe my tastes have matured? haha
