tagg

 

Remember tagg? Those were the days. They really had to strive to fill the blank space between the ads. If I had any sense back then I would have realised that they'd print anything at all. Maybe I'm doing them a disservice but some of the stuff they did print suggests a kind of a lack of discernment. Sorry tagg. 

 

saturday

Saturday was in many ways a write-off. I could create two columns and put the pluses and the minuses there. Pluses include I washed Perry and got quite a bit of hair off him. Laura and I had some samosas (out of a box) and she made a really good salad. We watched two episodes of The Box (#365, #366) which was good. John keeps not leaving even though he's constantly telling people he's about to leave. Max went back to Channel 12 and wants to sack Tony or kill off Manhunt, or both. I can't help feeling the discussion about keeping Tony for 'a series' and killing off the show is a kind of reference to George Mallaby leaving Homicide but coming into The Box. 

So considering the above, it wasn't a bad day really. But most of the day I have had a work task hanging over me which I feel is very onerous and troubling and it's been really hard to concentrate. I haven't even done it all properly, yet, but it's not as problematic as it was. I've also been very, very tired and it's been hot.

weird hitler

I was intrigued to see this magazine cover in the Heidelberg Salvo's today, because of that extraordinary thing on Hitler's face. Maybe the cover was designed by AI and AI just decided that Hitler's moustache was even better when it hung off his nose like a monkey? Maybe it wasn't AI just a really rad designer who wanted to break away from that old toothbrush moustache bullshit and instead turn it into a, well, what you see there. Anyway, intriguing. The end.
