The Procrastinator

I have a deadline, so of course I am blogging. I have also contemplated buying a 5.1 receiver for my bedroom, because the one in there currently is dropping channels intermittently (it's very old, pre-hdmi). I have been watching The West Wing on DVD from go to whoa, which isn't even in 5.1, so I don't know why the buggy amp is bugging me so much, but it is. I have given serious thought to scrubbing out the grouting in my shower recess.

Flat Bread Obssession

I can't stop pushing flat bread into my face. I don't know what it is, they are all so delicious. Last night, for dinner, I made souvlaki* with yummy souva pita bread, and on Monday I had some sort of chicken and refried bean thing inside tortillas. Having all this flat bread around is probably not a good idea. As a snacky treat late last night, I spread a tortilla with peanut butter, and chowed down on it like there was no tomorrow.

Name That Muscle

I've never been much for anatomy, and felt all at sea when the alleged Beauties on 'Beauty and the Geek' were painting internal body parts on barely-dressed men. I used to be all across the radius, the ulna and the femur, when I was a geeky year 8 kid, but all of that has left me now. One thing I don't know the name of is the spew muscle. You know when you've had a good hard go at it, when all and sundry are flowing through your mouth and nostrils, the next day there is an ache in your chest.

The Collaborator

Collaboration is a peculiar process. Sometimes it is an arcane and dangerous art that produces something that no single collaborator could produce on their own.

Talking Poofy at Character Comedy

Sun, 18/10/2009 - 16:00
Character Comedy at Bella Union, Trades Hall

The girls are getting the band back together! Like Josie and the Pussycats, Toby Sullivan, Scott Brennan and Adam Richard are jumping back on stage together. They're back to tell the straighties (and the 180s) how it is in homoland. If Hey Hey can do a reunion special, so can Talking Poofy! (although we can't guarantee Chooklotto, Plucka Duck or blackface routines, we will do at least three Molly Meldrum gags).

There are other, more worthy, and probably more talented people on the bill. Click the link to find out who.

Ricki-Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love RL - she is truly awesome, so I love the opportunity to interview her, because it's just like gasbagging with a girlfriend, but then I also have to do my job and get goss out of her...


How do you think I went?

Mother got a fright

Hello Chickens,

I am frightened. I have been watching Fringe, the JJ Abrams produced X-Files-eque series starring aussies Anna Torv and John Noble, and Pacey from the creek (Joshua Jackson). I caught the second episode of the new season, which featured unexplained goings on in a small town, people being dragged into the dirt under a corn field.
