Sambol at the ready and it's a dicey flavour of burning hotness gracing the lips and tongue to deceive on actual temperature. Very much the pain threshold of testing fatigue. Breaking point past here and no lines in the grains of rice. Tasty fat lips and counter time to swap coins aplenty for the hole in the pocket holds nothing more than disappointment. And no coins.
Pad See-Yew with a crack of an eggshell and the tip-off is underway. Heat builds quick with a shank of plastic down the front. Apparently it works double. Optimistically blind, a row steal the seats one behind, leaving the front all clear as the resolve.
Sydney Kings are impressive with the lead out early over the Townsville Crocodiles. Matt Worthington is out stepping a change up with no sign of slowing down to smell the burning leather. Crocs throw up little in the way of strong defence and formidable offence this early out in the first quarter. Spectacular dunk force from Jerome Beasley is too much as the ball shoots straight out of the ring toward the rafters and its Kings 31 over 22 for the Crocs.
No water on the water gate makes it a gate of dry illusion. One where dashing back and forth is not for the slippery of feet. Whatever lands on the rock with the back of the skull is best.
Sydney Kings spread out against the Singapore Slingers. Numbers, shooters, attention to detail. Keeping up with the up keep and the visitors from another city, but not entirely of another country, hold on level par with both the hold and block of the hosts. 21 to 20 with the Kings up a single digit.
Charles Darwin, famous for his theory of evolution of species by natural selection, was, as you may or may not know, born on the 12th of February, 1809. Darwin Day, far more than just commemorating the man, aims to celebrate science and humanity in general. In aid of this, two speakers were organised for an event hosted by the Humanist Society of New South Wales to be held at The Sydney Mechanics' School of the Arts: Dr. Andrew Simpson and Dr. Robin Holliday.
The Sydney Mechanics' School of the Arts, located on Pitt Street near Town Hall Station, was originally a school for Scottish artisans and mechanics, later a technical college, and, though no longer offering classes, still hosts a series of free public lectures. It is also Australia's oldest lending library.

Zone out to the cold sweats, the break into the city is a step off on the station before it all goes underground. After that, time is no longer an ally but a lying, filthy, cheating cur.
How often do you see a bloke washing a soft drink can at the public toilets any how?

Juicy fat peach in hand quells the uproar in the stomach. Contorting against the dismal array of cool breeze hitting over the skin on the day's way through. Frankie say relax, but Frankie is dead from exhaustion with vultures dashing hairs of salt into his eye sockets. Pepper, anyone?
Sydney Kings are well across the state with Adelaide 36ers in the dust. Long road toward the black and it's impressive to see the start of the night blow out with the hosts high on a margin of 16. Kings Matt Worthington and Russel Hinder daming the cherry shooters to mark forward a path clearer as a table cloth where you find no spills ever mark deep into the fibres of the cloth. Kings laughingly out far and wide with 35 on the dozen from the 36ers.]

Pork chops on a sizzling plate and the look of rice stewing in the sauce is enough to break out a plate of vegetables in oyster sauce. Long enough and the people in the toilets start waiting for one brave soul to open the doors out. Prospective three lands two and the split cut into the deal is about the same either way. One note, one seat less.
Smacking kids loud from the row behind necessitate the move across the sections. It's a game to watch and enjoy, losing the hearing is not a fun night out for anyone outside shouting down the speakers at the concert.

Back streets and alleys feature cobblestones, loose steps and cardboard to walk across. Feel the freezing breeze as the legs crumble and give to one mother of a wind chill. Nobody rubs this close late at night without it being down William Street. Or with metal slugs in the chamber. Perspective and all, so very clear and charming to the crowd. Rain drops keep falling on the head, but that doesn't mean anything for the fire in pig's bed.
Slip of the tongue and the crackle of the announcer starts with, "Your Tre... Firepower Sydney Kings!" to intro the team as they run onto the court.

Vultures, the lot of them. Rabid packs of high school students on one of the cheapest and lamest excursions imaginable run the floor of the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. Barging and bumping over each other, no sense of order and talking like the drunks ambling out of last night's gig.
At least five sets of blazer colours are on the run and they hamper the flow of traffic by camping out in the entrance. If not setting non-existent camp fires, they clump together like sweat down the back of a nice pure cotton T-shirt.

Dangling from a rather loose noose, The Hanging Man features Death being fed up and taking a break from it all. From the taking of lives, from the removal of the idiots from the stream and generally being done with cleaning up the world of the people otherwise destined for the other side.
Working on a couple of levels on interaction, The Hanging Man swims between an outright story unfolding on stage to one smelling like the air of a rough workshop. Talking like they do to the audience, the cast breathe this connection that jumps the point between now and then. A lot of which leaves time hanging about waiting for the return to the flow.

Such a beautiful production. Shame about all the patrons making off with all of the cough drops. Pity the coughers.

Darkness is the Kingdome. Spotlights roam around and the cheerleaders and dancers sparkle on the floor. Late for a weeknight in the city, tip off is thirty minutes behind the ticket time. Oils on the right reeks heavy of sweat, a pinch on the back of the throat and the light rises up with the food staying down. Basketballs descend from below, lobs high hit hard on the other end of the parabola. Danger? Only from the one that waits in rafters to bonk the one looking for their seat.
Squeaks are out with extra syllables in the national anthem. Over by the northern upper blend, blurting mid-verse, essence of which no doubt for the home side in the face of the Tigers fans over south.
Sydney's Town Crier walks up and down the front of the Entertainment Centre shouting on about the Grand Final match between the Harbour City and Melbourne. Leaving a little in the tank, the bellow feels hollow, put back and just not quite there. Like the friend who suddenly bursts shouting at odd intervals of the conversation. Such as the rise of a preposition or hanging off a solecism.
Dangling from the rafters, the Lion makes a descent amid fizzler sparks standing in for the indoors fireworks display. Smoke and the tinge of burnt fills the air minutes in. Wielding lightsabers, the Lion and the Tigers mascot battle, the one with the stripes falling down. The Sydney Kings Cheerleaders work their magic in the dark of the spotlights before the introductions.
