THURSDAY 6th October

Unless i'm absolutely bulked down with homework (in which case, yes Dan, i'll do a ring-around)...it's happening again this thurs:


6th Oct, my place, 8.30/9PMish.

We had a gruelling time of it last night... managed to get through both Dandenong's without falling asleep. as i've said in the comment below, i'd really forgotten what a lack of talent we had.... not matter, by esteem is shattered, and i'll never put you through it again (unless you want to, Dee!).....or at least, not until my next film.....(insert terrifying Jaws music here Da na Da na Da na, or possibly knife-stabbing music from Psycho Ra-ra Ra-ra). but that wont be for a while, so stress less my little tiny teddies.


so, apart from Dandenongs, we had a mix of things to watch. Some uni ppl (thanx Sean, James and Shoni) came over for Pizza, and then we watched the Tom Green Show (must have been boy-humour of something, cos the boys liked it, but it seemed pretty brain-dead to me). then Beck brought Arrested Development - one of those rare Gems in which American Humour is actually funny. and we watched a couple of episodes of that. then Dandenong's, followed by some never-before-seen footage of Will 'porning it up' on bass. followed by me dancing around in the foulest of 80s fashion (as one of Madonna's back-up dancers). three cheers for home video! then we watched 'wanderlust', or is it 'wonderlust', on SBS, which was a great way to top off the evening - (faux-)german tourist takes you around america on his whacky adventures.

well, i had a cool night, i hope everyone else did.

see you next week.

'FASCINATING PLOT BRINGS MELBOURNE TO A HOLT'

Dear Ms Hoochy Hooch,

I am writing in response to the highly aclamed film 'Dandenongs Creek' recently screened in Heathmont on Thursday 29th of September 2005.

Due to the limited media outlets in the UK, and nominal globalisation, you may not be aware it has recieved widly acclaimed reviews throughout Europe. Due to the uproar created by the showing of this film and its sequal, could I please request yet another showing to be scedualed in the near future? (Preferably post November!)

I look foward to your prompt reply,

With kind regards, Miss Dayna... she lives in a container :)

LOVE to you all...

Ps. AJ. A very very big Happy Birthday to you for last week... hape you had a fab time, sounds like the party was a complete success xx. yey!

Londoners wouldn’t know fresh if it came up and bit them on the bum....

In a supermarket ¾ of their frozen isles are made up of pre-made meals. Most people at work heat these up and have them for lunch. In the cold section the shelves are filled with pre-made sandwiches ready to go – they taste yucky!!! A few weeks ago I tried to convince Hafida, a chick at work, that while it said “fresh” on her lunch packet the food inside wasn’t actually fresh. Today I purchased a “freshly made Mediterranean Delight salad” from the sandwich lady that comes around and one bite into it I realize there is nothing fresh about it. When I looked on the box it said it was made yesterday, yet everyone at work still says its fresh!

What is with this city? Then again maybe I’m becoming at Londoner and complaining about everything……

Check this out!

A funny mockumentry on what is quickly becoming this blogs topic of choice.

"SYDNEY IS, LIKE, SO OVER"

Hey guys,
Someone forwarded this to me. Being mainly Melbournians, I thought I'd pass this gem on to you, lets spread our pride and snobbery o'er land and sea...across the great world wide web...

...hope you like...


FASHIONABLE SYDNEY SET OUTRAGED AT AL QAEDA TERROR THREAT SNUB

MELBOURNE JOINS 'MOST BOMBABLE' WORLD CITIES LIST

"SYDNEY IS, LIKE, SO OVER," SAYS AL QAEDA'S AL ASUQUF


Sydneysiders are reeling this morning over news that Al Qaeda has announced Melbourne as a possible new target of their worlwide campaign to scare the piss out of people.

This is being seen as a major snub in social and political circles of the 2000 Olympic City, and leading Sydneysiders are calling on Al Qaeda to reconsider their choice of future targets.

The Al Qaeda announcement is also expected to make it even harder for Sydney poltiicians to redirect millions of taxpayer dollars from spending on education, child care and medicines for the elderly to buy CCTV cameras and other anti-terror related security measures.

"It's terrible news," said one Sydney security specialist who has been campaigning for the NSW government to spend $100 million on his line of robot dogs that sniff out bombs concealed in the buttholes of Islamomaniac poodles.

If Sydneysiders are disappointed by the Al Qaeda snub then Melbournians are absolutely gloating at the news that hit front pages and headlines around the world today.

Fashionistas down south claim the Al Qaeda announcement is yet another sign of just how 'cool' Melbourne had become.

"Obviously even Al Qaeda knows Melbourne is the city to be seen in if you have any taste at all," said socialite Rita Tayor. "Melbourne is so cool right now, everybody is flocking here, even bomb-happy, kill-crazy matyrs who hate our freedom."

An Al Qaeda spokesman has confirmed that Melbourne was chosen over Sydney because it is now seen internationally as the 'IT' Australian city of today.

"Sydney is, like, so over," said Al Qaeda media whiz Al Asuquf. "Well, not over, like bombed to hell over. Just over as a fashionable target for self-detonating suiciders."

"We do monitor what's hot and what's not in terms of the world's great cities," said Asuquf, "and Melbourne is definitely hot. We don't want to be seen as being out of touch with fashion trends, and so Melbourne was an obvious choice as the Australian city to honour with a September 11 anniversary threat of looming carnage and mayhem."

Australian Prime Minister John Howard said the new Al Qaeda threat confirmed the necessary validity of his plan to track terrorist suspects by satellite, install 'hate thought' detectors in peoples' brains and lock up four year old children fleeing war zones until they learn what Free Australia actually means.

"When you're dealing with terrorists who hate our freedom," said Howard, "it is vitally important to stand up to their threats by restricting the freedoms of Australians as much as possible, to show the terrorists that we will freely continue to fire bomb Muslims from the sky with our freedom jets until the whole world is free."

In the US, President George W Bush celebrated the September 11 anniversary by opening a string of new freedom-related enterprises. Bush oversaw the ribbon cutting ceremonies at the new Freedom Juice Company, the Freedom Jail for Jihadic Newborns, the Freedom Torture Centre and the plush new Freedom Execution Hall.

Bush has also endorsed a new line of products to help fight terror, including Freedom Shackles, the Freedom Infant Decapitator Bomb, Freedom Napalm and Freedom Testicle Electrocuters.

"We have always loved freedom, we continue to love freedom and we will never stop loving freedom," said Bush, who loves freedom, during ceremonies to officially announce that September 11 will now be known as 'Freedom Day'.

"To celebrate Freedom Day every free citizen of free Western society will be required by threat of torture and detention to freely celebrate their freedom by being free and freely repeating 'I love freedom' one hundred times," said Bush.

"Being free requires the strict enforcement of free laws to enforce freedom," Bush said. "You cannot be free unless there are free laws to make sure you are being free correctly."

Both Bush and Howard have also denied rumoured plans to build a 100 foot tall wall completely encircling Iran, Iraq and Syria to create the 'Republic of Freedomistan'.

"I thoroughly, and freely, reject these scandalous lies," said Howard at the joint media conference. "But all options are still on the table."

Bush then searched under the table before asking Howard, "I can see the media but where's the joint?"

existence.

"Waking Life is a living breathing painting of sorts, and the closest you
might ever get to dreaming with your eyes open. It is quite literally
poetry in motion, fun, and Richard Linklater's best film to date.
It'll do your head in. 5 Stars."

Die, spammers, die!

I have just turned word verification on the comments, which will hopefully get rid of this spam that is very very un-cool. It'll work unless the spam is actually generated by human power, not computer power. What a sad job that would be, sitting at home writing spam on people's comments...
