birthday gospel special, been listening to this over and over for weeks now...





peace

listen to the native cats

J'taime moi non plus

i have to say, today was a good day...

a bunch of old duke ellington and django reinhardt lps, bike parts for a repair job back home, new camelback, and a sunny afternoon ride to hallett cove conservation park = happy me.

oh, and my mind was blown first thing this morning by watching this...



something else was done to my mind by another warp video recently...

1784

It takes 1784 days to age 4.9 years. That's approximate, and not taking into account leap years. Which the year 1784 was coincidentally. It was also the year in which King Ferdinand VII of Spain was born, and Samuel Johnson died.





1784 was also the number I wore in a 12km fun run on Sunday. Surprisingly it was fun. And despite my lack of training I did it in 1:08:31. Personal best. Next year? Under an hour. Easy.

if i could change one thing in the world...

...i'd get the marshall suite back in print.




that and world peace

It would be remiss of me not to use the internet at least once as a platform for an opinion on politics. So, regarding Tony Abbott’s recent reference to Julia Gillard’s cheeky smile as a ‘shit eating grin,’ am I the only one who immediately spotted the John Waters reference? I mean, it’s not exactly a popular phrase in Australia (and I’ve met some base folks). So putting two and two together to get five, can I just say that it's obvious TONY ABBOTT LIKES WATCHING DUDES THAT CAN SING SURFIN BIRD OUT THEIR ASSHOLES!!! Is that okay? Cool.

Next week I'll talk about our trading relationship with China, budget deficits, and what a twat Kevin Rudd is for pandering to football culture (when he's clearly a yoghurt-knickered dweeb that doesn't 'do' sports). Nexus Swine, you've come to the right place.
