SPOOK GO TO THE THEAR’ATA.

The team at Spook last week were lucky enough to catch a quick glimpse of the new Australia Horror, The Loved Ones. Some of us struggled to survive to the end of the flick though. One particular editor threatened to leave because she thought it was a rom-com and was somewhat overwhelmed by the gore.

THE DIMMING LIGHTS OF UENO

Having no plans, I intently partook in my Ueno routine. It involves comfortable clothing, leaving my phone at home, and a camera. Ueno is a downtown district of Tokyo. It doesn’t have the bright lights of Shibuya or the glitz of Ginza. It’s relaxed and gritty and wonderfully less pretentious, but still undeniably Tokyo.

A THIEF OBSERVED

You placed your pupils here to read about something, why? Maybe to smile, to feel smarter, to know you're not alone. Or maybe just to cleanse yourself of the last fifteen minutes you spent actively perusing the web - no judgment, support the industry that supports you. But I ain’t gonna kid you. All you’re going to get from reading this is a gullet full of grief. You’re going to feel angry. You’re going to feel sad. But most of all you’re gonna feel envious. Because as someone who gets paid to shoot the greatest rock stars on the planet, a key contributor to Artrocker Magazine and a featured talent in Rolling Stone, Kelli Morris has a good job. A job makes you feel like less of a contributing human after hearing about it...But she's giving advice on how you can thieve it from her. So swap the tissue box for a pen and pad. Take notes. Get started.

THE WORK EXPERIENCE KID

Remember work experience? I went to a real estate agency. It was my uncle's. He paid me the required five dollars a day. I learnt about filing, how to replace photocopy cartridges and where the post office was. I didn't end up becoming a real estate agent. Karyn is on work experience  this week, she wandered in to our office looking like a year nine on work experience.  We decided that in between coffee runs and licking stamps, we'd interview her. Ya' know, break it up a bit. This is Karyn Ngo.

Worship False Idols

Alright, straight off the Don Bradman this new PM stuff is all so crazy. Was it just me, or did I read, like four months ago that K-Rudd was the most popular Prime Minister that this country had seen in the past 50 Years? Did Mr Popularity honestly just get bumped mid-term, a forced eviction from the Lodge mid-lease, or am I just chewing on the mushrooms growing out the back again? How can this be?
