The Making of Extravaganza

Sat, 27/02/2010 - 20:25 — Adam

I know for a fact that Wes Snelling frequently Googles himself and stays up half the night watching YouTube videos, so I thought I would add to his insanity by posting a video Wes and I made back in 2001 to entertain the people who were attending his fundrasing concert for his show Extravaganza: Beyond Burlesque.

FebFast Day 15

Day 15 of FebFast.

The drunken-remorse-clothes-buying incident has given me another challenge for the month of Feb (and beyond, this time) - becoming active again. I used to walk everywhere before I got Mavis, the big blue wheelchair disguised as an old Corolla.

Given that the weather is so delightful, I have been meeting up with one of my oldest friends, and we've been walking in the park. Well, parks. Lots of parks. I have also been investigating places I can walk the dog off-leash.

Box Set: The Practice

Mon, 15/02/2010 - 09:16 — Adam
The Practice began in 1997 created by David E Kelley, responsible for some of the most critically acclaimed dramas of the nineties, Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope and Picket Fences. Starring an ensemble cast headed up by Dylan McDermott as struggling defence attorney Bobby Donnell, and joined in season two by Lara Flynn Boyle as District Attorney Helen Gamble, the show mainly concerns itself with a law firm that cannot afford to be fussy about which clients it defends.

Days 12-14 of FebFast


Okay, Mamma jumped headfirst off the wagon on Saturday night. Thankfully, the FebFast does provide the facility to buy a pass, if you have a special event such as a wedding, anniversary or a gig with Scott Brennan and Wes Snelling...

Day Eleven of FebFast

Storm aside, it was still hot and sweaty last night, and I have hideous pain from root canal work, so the sleeping is still not ideal. Nightmares have backed off, but I still have trouble dropping off.

Friday again. Pizza and something other than beer night. I've been enjoying a drop of dry ginger with dinner.

Ever since Mary Tyler Moore stepped out of the shadows of her TV husband Dick Van Dyke and had her own successful series, actors buried in an ensemble cast have dreamed of their own day in the sun.

Day Ten of FebFast


Normally, when I get peed off about something, like I did yesterday with my #optusfail fury, I blame the escalating mania on that third or fourth beer. However, with FebFast, I know I'm stone cold sober - which brings me to the horrifying revelation that I am a lunatic!

So many companies desperately try to cultivate loyalty with loyalty card schemes like Fly Buys, Everyday Rewards, Frequent Flyer, Velocity etc., but when you actually show genuine loyalty to a company, you are treated with contempt. Perhaps big business has a "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" mentality. Perhaps big business is run by a bunch of wife-beating drunks.

FebFast Day Nine

Day Nine of FebFast

Grumpiness abounded last night, but I think that was more to do with having scrubbed the house from top to bottom, then slaved over dinner for about two hours making little balls of risotto, and the closest I got to a compliment or comment was "there's too much mayonnaise." (I serve my mozzarella-centred, crumbed and fried risotto balls with a pesto mayo - never mind I made the pesto from scratch!)

Anyway, got to sleep fine, and no nasty dreams!
