photo friday: street creatures

You officially know that your ongoing apartment cleaning fetish has gone pretty much as far as it's going to when you find yourself cleaning windows. Granted it wasn't as painful as all the jokes about not doing windows alludes to, however given the fact that 80% of the front wall of my apartment is actually all part of one giant window, it just took a while.

And I went through all of the paper towel I had.

But having cleaned all the windows, washed the flyscreens and whatnot I was both very pleased with myself and slightly surprised how much brighter my apartment seemed (mostly due to the flyscreens I think).

Although there are a few streaks on the top windows that occasionally bug me... although not quite enough to get the ladder out.

The Adelaide Fringe 2014 program launched today... and I'm not kidding but yesterday felt like Christmas Eve. So when 9:30 rolled around this morning I sat down with a cup of tea and started going through the list to check out what's coming for 2014.

I'm still making final decisions about what's officially making the list, but at present there's about 20 shows on the shortlist. There's clearly something about that number of shows since I've been to around that number the last couple of years.

There are some shows returning that I've been to see in previous years, or performers that were in other shows have new shows:

• Adam Richard comes back to present Gaypocalypse
• The Kransky Sisters are back with Piece of Cake
• The Boy with Tape on His Face has More Tape once again
• Dirk Darrow returns with 2 Ruby Knockers 1 Jaded Dick, a prequel to his previous show
• Gravity And Other Myths bring the amazing A Simple Space back
• Dorothy Parker's Sweet Release of Death makes a return
• One of the guys from Alice in the Madhouse (Cal Harris) has a new show, Elixir and the rest of the company return with Illuminate
• Sound and Fury bring back Hamlet and Juliet (which I missed last year) and have a new show, Hitchcocked
• The crew from the Dungeons and Improvisation Adventure Show are back with Improvise To Go
• Jethro Compton, the actor from my very favourite Fringe show The Boy James is back directing three shows which make up The Bunker Trilogy (Macbeth, Agamemnon and Morgana)
