The Tangly Beast.
Every day I envy Bill Bailey for his Britney Spears/Wizard in a Call Centre headset thing.
It really, really might just be me, but on a daily basis I get all tangled up and confused in my work headset cord. No-one else seems to have the same trouble!

I love walking home through Mount Eden and Epsom. Affluent old suburbs - they have some amazing old houses and sprawling gardens. There's one in particular that looks as if someone cut it out from a Jane Austen novel and glued it into Auckland. It makes me want to say things like, "What a delightful prospect!" Another house that amuses me daily has a little brass plate nailed into its wall which reads: John Wishart - Diseases of the Skin.
I hope if I ever own a home (Hah! Unlikely!) I can have my own little plate. Danielle McCarney - Lunacy of the Mind, Passions of the Imagination.. something like that. Of course, I'll have to be careful to steer clear of anything that's "of the Heart", since that will always end up sounding like a Mills & Boonish novel.

Listening to streaming Triple J is making me happy and homesick and excited and also sad to be leaving Auckland.
