Brisbane

Off

Sitting in the lobby of the grand Metropolitan Motor Inn, in Brisbane. It’s around 8pm on Thurs. I’m kinda surprised such an economy hotel has 3 internet kiosks, but who am I to argue? It’s a cool place, at the corner of Little Edward and Leichhardt St. I’d recommend it if you haven’t got the $177 AUS to spend on a deluxe, by-the-river hotel room, like at the Ibis….

Got all my touristy stuff out of the way, and even checked out the Underwater World (a typical aquarium place, but with a Honda full of water and fish) at Mooloolabah (sp?). I haven’t been able to remember how to spell/pronounce half of the places around here — it’s no point even asking for directions, unless you have a map, and have them circle the destination.

Flying back to Sydney tomorrow night, and will spend maybe 3 hours in a hotel, waiting for my flight home.

I miss my house. I miss my cats. I miss my job. Hope they’re all still there when I get back.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
