 More on the 16th! 

inhuman visitations

A visitor from a few nights ago. S/he was gone by morning. Another visitor last night was a possum who knocked two potplants off the wall and onto the deck (one was plastic, so undamaged, the other shattered). As compensation the possum supplied three small possum turds, the interspecial language. 

friday nights

For decades now Friday nights have been a real killer, bummer, downer, stinker, nothing more to say about it. Every week, Friday is so exhausting. 

You know what they say about cats and dogs, well, do they say cats like to be in the sunshine and dogs like to be in the shadows? I hope so because then these pictures bear out the truth of that saying. Nancy in particular loves being out on the deck, loves it.

Also here's a bonus picture of no essential value, of a building in Parkville Gardens when we went there last night. Enjoy! 

 

more numbers

 

Just wanted to register the interesting (?) truth that there is another Numbers and Spotifuck thinks it's the same Numbers (the albumi Blue Café and the single 'No Smoking' are not by the early 1980s Sydney band) but I can't find any detail on this other Numbers at all. If you listen to the real Numbers a bit this more recent (but I suppose no less really real) Numbers comes up, they're not terrible. I've really got to get rid of Spotifuck but first I have to listen to all of The Real Thing's greatest hits. 

boogie fever

Not just 22 Original Hits by Original Artists, but 22 Amazing Original Hits!!! The biggest catch on this is The Real Thing's 'Rainin' through my sunshine' but there are a heap of amazing songs here. 1978 was a fucking trip. I adore that it's called 'Boogie Fever' but it doesn't have the song 'Boogie Fever' by the Sylvers on it. I also adore that it has such a non-conventionally sexy person on the cover, or should I say, a conventionally non-sexy person on the cover. It also has, on balance I'd say unfortunately, Sheila B. Devotion's 'Singin' in the Rain' - another one of those discofied classics. Additionally, while I adore The Motors' 'Airport', it's so far away from the feverdom of boogie it's not funny. Hilarious that it's first song side one.
