The rain this afternoon was pretty crazy. My tickets for Good Charlotte came in the mail but got soaked with rain in the letterbox. And the perforations are broken. :| So I'll have to talk to Ticketek when... uh... I can talk again. And I had to take off my shoes and socks to wade through a waterlogged tunnel to get to my train station.

( present to farewell my teeth + serious thoughts about Wikileaks, Assange and rape while I'm still coherent )

Today at work we had a batch of pastries that were undercooked, so I brought one home and stuck it in the oven for twenty minutes and it was THE BEST THING EVER. I hope they underbake one every day so I can do it all the time. YUM ( Read more... )

No matter what happens, we're looking at a hung Parliament. I don't think I have much to say about it yet; it's still cooking. It's very different to the Tasmanian or UK elections; those weren't unexpected the way this was and were due to the rise of a third party rather than a close TPP result and a rise in independents. Looking to that is also ( Read more... )

I kind of want to bake some biscuits but I can't tear my eyes away from the ALP campaign launch coverage. It's only just started, but watching the journos talk about on Twitter has been too hilarious. Loudspeaker announcement telling Chris Evans he left his bag outside the ladies toilet! Rudd! Simon Crean! Hawkey! Hugging like they're a ( Read more... )

This campaign is boring.

So, firstly, St Paul's Letter To The Electorates:

xii) And Anthony said an ETS was like unto many cubits of dung. And the scribes went to him and they asked him about this, and he denied it, three times, saying 'Forgive me. For I know not what I say. For my words are not what I mean. For sometimes I engage in rhetorical ( Read more... )

(I need a politics icon. Maybe of Antony Green, or a First Dog On The Moon cartoon. If First Dog drew a cartoon of Antony Green I'd be set ( Read more... )

So, I doubt anyone will see much of me on Saturday Manifest this year. And definitely not in the evening, when I will be either counting votes, watching the count in a pub, or counting votes and then going to a pub to watch the count ( Read more... )

I'd bet money on Powderfinger announcing another concert today. That sold faster than any concert I've ever bought tickets to. Ever. And there were already two Melbourne concerts to sell ridiculously fast. I'm kind of irritated that my dad and my brother insisted on seats, because I couldn't get us lower level seats and I COULD have gotten ( Read more... )

So, there's this story going around that nude images of small-breasted women are going to be banned in Australia, or classified as child pornography in Australia. This is not entirely true. I won't recap the entire article, but here are the most important points ( Read more... )

It seems I'm getting a reputation. My boss called me at work today specifically to ask what I thought of the party room decision, and also to say "Ha, you were right!" because I told her on Saturday that I'd back Abbott for a win ( Read more... )
