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. 

Above is a picture of Nancy on the deck this afternoon.

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.

personal file

Name: Helmi aka Mittens

Age: 8ish

Likes: Sleeping, being tickled or whatever you call that under the neck, sometimes a thumb in the ear is good.

Dislikes: Everything else and Nancy

Children: Many, but I don't talk to them

Lives: Upstairs. In the bedroom 99.9% of the time, leaving only for toilet and food. 

Ambitions: To eliminate my enemies, including Nancy and even Perry if I can. 

Will Angus Taylor challenge for the leadership of the Liberal Party today? I'd say 'those are all words' but I don't know what words are. Angus should take heed of Peter Costello's and Josh Frydenburg's hesitancy when it comes to challenging; you end up looking weak. However, he should also take heed of other Liberals-in-opposition who simply held the fort for a while as the real people got into position, a la Downer, Nelson etc. Hopefully keeping both of these in mind will put him in such a whirlwind of stasis he'll run round and round and turn into butter. 

Favourite album: OK Computer

What's a secret you've never told anyone? I quite envy happy bisexuals. 

 

bake your feet this summer

Sometimes I don't have anything to tell you but still I am sick of the latest post being at the top of the list so I find something else to post. Insider trick of blogging, a peep behind the curtain if you will.
