Sorry for the radio silence over the last few months... I've fallen out of love with talking about myself & my life in general


However, I'll never get tired of talking about things like this... the relics of a bygone era who continue to poison the education & opinions of the modern world

For the-god-of-your-choice's sake... or for no god's sake at all if you prefer, I wish some people would either grow up or shut up. No other options are available

That goes for you too:~ Fred Nile, Alan Jones, Ray Hadley, John Laws, the entire 'Family First' political party, Clive Palmer, the entire US Republican party, Rupert Murdoch, Cardinal George Pell... you can take over from here, I'm sure

So ~ the Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket the funeral of Slayer's guitarist Jeff Hanneman

Somebody please put the ensuing melée on Youtube... Please!!??!!

A little rehearsal/jam session with the as-yet-unnamed band formed around the 'World's Longest Album Project'. A chance to stretch out on electric guitar for the first time in a while. Fun...

Work kept me hopping until about 5.30, when I finally got out of a client's home, having discussed almost everything except which of our range of products she actually wants. This one's a long haul

Most of the time, it's nice to know some things never change... But then there's Alan Jones & his inimitable, irritating, ignoble & inflammatory ignorance ~ this time on the Boston bombing

For my Reader... some news over the last month or so you might have missed

The Loved One & I were married on 10.11.12 ~ just so the date was easy to remember. Simple civil ceremony, minimum family attendants, no friends, less-than-desirable location, but that's another story. Family dinner, then drinks with some friends the following day. Two days in Mudgee as a mini 'Honeymoon'... pretty much all we felt like after the USA trip

Kindasorta employed as a Sales Manager for a business telecommunications company. Odd sequence of events ~ a couple of stilted interviews, a few sheets of product information, then a week of cold-calling while the telemarketing team is assembled & their script is written (with a little input from me), then meeting some of my sales reps today & training them, when I'm only fractionally ahead of them in product knowledge. As long as I stay that way, it should be fine, right?. Employment contract to be signed this Friday, then three unpaid weeks off over Christmas/New Year

Which I may spend working in a bottle shop, after encountering a former workmate in CBD Cellars today. Whether I'd end up bringing home any money from that job is an interesting question

And now... please take five to remember Dave Brubeck... he will be missed

For years, Sydney has worn the shabby mantle & crown of Australia's most racist & violent city. We're not proud of that... at least, most of us aren't

But in keeping with the long-standing rivalry between us, Melbourne has staked its claim as the new hotbed of intolerance & thuggery, This incident, which has at least made it to a court, is only amplified by the events of earlier this month... which hasn't

It really shows that, in terms of human history... & certainly evolution, two hundred years isn't very long at all. White Australia is mainly descended from the poor, uneducated, unwanted flotsam that England had a surplus of... & all the inborn (inbred?) ugliness that came with it, obviously hasn't adapted to its warmer, less crowded, egalitarian environment yet

Has evolution not had enough time? Or are the Creationists right & we're made in god's image? If that's the case, I don't think much of that god...

Farewell Clive Dunn... best known for playing Corporal Jones in Dad's Army



That must be all of them now... Shame

Yes you... & all your donkey-minded disciples

I'm talking to you!!!

Well... this is good news. At least it's a continuation of a start that should have begun a long time ago... if you follow...

What infuriates me about this... other than the mindless, ignorant gullibility of the listening public, is this indirect quote from Vile Kyle's insidiously evil sidekick "Jackie O" ~ "that she and Sandilands had moved on from the row over the Alison Stephenson comments and were looking forward to being back on-air this week"

So she & him have "moved on", have they... so really it's the rest of us who are acting irresponsibly by continuing to draw attention to their abhorrent behaviour??!!??

On a different note... including several sequences of repeated ones... we went to see this a few nights ago as part of the annual Sydney Festival & it was a greatly entertaining hour. Thank god for the invention of digital looping technology...

The Kim Is Dead... Long Live The (Next) Kim

Bloody hell LJ... According to my 'Friends' page you'd think nothing more exciting than pretty photos had been happening around the world... Has FaceBook really taken the 'Live out of Journalling & Twitter taken the Journalling as well??!!??

Fine. So, if Narcissism is more important than News these days, then the Church gig I went to on Saturday night was the most amazing thing in the world ever!!!!
