I’ve been forced out of my hiatus by A Floating Life who has tagged me. I’ve never been tagged before so I figure I’d best try it on for size.
The rules of this game as they stand:
The first player of this game starts with the topic five weird habits of yourself, and people who […]


Another year over

Published on

Well today is my second last day at work and I suspect my posting will be very thin until early next year. I’m not taking as much time off this year as I have in the past and I know I’m coming back to the mother of all workloads but I’m trying to forget […]


Lame!!

Published on December 19, 2005

So I’m attending an anti-racist rally on Friday like a good Aussie with one of my house mates when another one of my housemates call.
He’s just got home to find the back door has been kicked in and the house has been ransacked but nothing seems to be missing.
So I return home rather quickly and […]


…more Chuck

To prove it isn’t that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.

A Competitive Eating Christmas

Published on

I think that every year, over Christmas lunch, it is important to pay homage to the brave men and women that eat competitively.
I think I’ll have to pick up one of these T Shirts and a CD (which features the Tsunami Kobayashi!)


Post-Meredith

Published on December 13, 2005

Two days later, I’m still in the post-Meredith pain chamber.
Word to describe the weekend: loose.
On regret (other than not taking two days off work instead of one): Not running into AusCulture Jess
Favorite Band: probably Steve Malkmus
More to come I suspect - but when I get my brain back.

You get phone calls along the lines of (remembering I’m at work):
MATE: Hey Ham, do you think you could drive R home, she’s getting a bit lose
me (worried): Lose, what do you mean lose? Is she ok? Where are you?
MATE: Yeah, she’s fine, just a little ‘Lose’. Were down at the Town […]


Meredith

Published on

I’m so excited. I haven’t felt this way since Christmas 1989.
Tomorrow morning at 9 am I go and pick up the 8 seater Tarago. Then I pick up 7 other friends and we drive to what I believe will be my 5th consecutive Meredith for the Meredith Music Festival.
*squeals*
I picked up my boy […]


Australian of the Year

Published on December 8, 2005

I fear I might be too late too late to nominate for Australian of the Year, but I’ll tell you who it should be: Mick who the fuck is Lewis.

Bloody legend!


And then this

Published on December 7, 2005

What’s going on? Webdiary was never my favorite blog, but I always deeply respected what it was trying to do.
Margo’s commitment to independent and alternative media is always something that I’ve applauded - she certainly left me inspired after her speech at Now We the People earlier in the year. It’s just a pity […]
