From Kylie’s blog: My friend Caleb and I are starting a blogging war. He is jealous that my blog gets more hits than his. We decided that he needs to get embroiled in a scandal and blog about it to get some hits (there were suggestions of embezzlement and unwanted pregnancies). Check him out here so that he feels some love http://inference.blogspot.com/ and when he gloats that he gets more hits than me, I can tell him its cause all my readers hit him up out of pity!...
After all these years, I’ve finally got around to putting The Insectocutor online. Enjoy.
This morning I saw an advert on TV for Credit Suisse - some sort of Swiss bank. You can watch the advert too by following the link to “TV Spot 2” on their current ad campaign page. The ad consists (much like the pdf’s on that afore mentioned page) of a statement: ‘some think …’, followed by a redefinition in their terms: ‘we think …’. What left me gob-smacked was that each alternative they presented was essentially a buzzword....
There are some brilliant minds working for the RTA. The most interesting example of their brilliance is a particular stretch of road near where I live, that I daily travel on to get to work. The stretch I am referring to is the lead up to Tom Ugly’s Bridge on the Sutherland side. Tom Ugly’s Bridge actually consists of 2 bridges. The western, northbound bridge is a truss bridge. The eastern, southbound bridge is a fairly standard box girder bridge....
Living out of home means that you have to cook for yourself. Today I decided to get experimental and make something I call the Molten Mallowwich. The Molten Mallowwich is basically a toasted sandwich with marshmallows on it. I tried it with 9. I ended up with molten marshmallow on my hands and face. Next time I’ll use 4 to 6. Maybe I’ll mix it up with some peanut butter or jam too....
I had INXS - By My Side play minutes after receiving an email from NRMA. Coincidence? I think not.
My mate David went to Japan over the Christmas break. He went to a restaurant and took a photo of one of the more poorly translated menu items. Being an avid reader of engrish.com I suggested he post it. Instead he gave it to me and I sent it in and four months later it’s now featured on their home page (for the 27th of March). You too can now enjoy the Rosso Spumante....
So I am at work and have completely forgotten what it is that I was meant to be doing today. 4 days is enough time for everything you have about work in your head to leave. Especially if you have other things to distract you more than normal. Employers must hate 4 day weekends because they know the next day back is going to be more unproductive than a monday usually would be....
Over the last 28 hours I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying some really, really good, catchy songs. The first is “We Don’t Stop” by Michael Franti & Spearhead, off their album Everybody Deserves Music, and the other is “The Promise” by When in Rome, which I heard on the credits to Napoleon Dynamite1. There are songs that I consider good, in that they are memorable tunes that leave a lasting impression and are worth owning on CD....
I’ve come up with a new way to listen to my music. In the past when I’ve listened to music I’ve just picked an artist and started playing their music on shuffle. I was kinda getting bored of that and had some inspiration this morning on a new way I could experience my music. My new technique involves creating a playlist in iTunes where half the songs are from one artist, and the other half a from another artist....
