Live from Brunswick St

Did you know it is possible to post to blogger from your mobile phone?

It's been too long...

New post at IOYC.

Drinks, tonight

Spontaneous Thursday night drinks tonight at the Brunswick Green in (you guessed it) Green. No, Brunswick. From 8pm. All your favourites will be there.

City Beat - WTF?

"Follow security guards on the beat in Auckland as they work some of the toughest neighbourhoods."

Channel Seven has been showing this freakin ridiculous TV show from New Zealand recently called City Beat. It follows these security guards from "First Security" as they stick their noses where they aren't wanted in downtown Auckland.

There is no explanation of who employs them, why they seem to think they have any authority in a public space or why the drunken locals they scream at and push around take so much rubbish from them. It's completely fantastic. Late Wednesday nights.

Also on TV: tell me you saw Diddy's un-fckn-believable entrance on the MTV Video Music Awards? It was so hilarious for all the wrong reasons. It gives over the top a new definition. Just how seriously can one person take themselves? Find the answer online in Diddy form here.

Who da funk?

Is anyone else as immediately irritated as I am by the name Lil'Kim? She should have been sent to prison as soon as she took that name.

Question without notice

What the hell happened to Hotdogs from The Uplate Game Show (with Hotdogs)? They've dropped the (with Hotdogs) from the logo and now there is some new nobody hosting it. I don't miss Hotdogs (HELLY NO!), but if something terribly embarrassing has happened to the former Big Brother housemate then I think I should know about it.

While we're on housemates, I spotted one named Melanie sitting next to a footballer at the Brownlow tonight. I really only mentioned that because it was a nice way to seg to my next topic: the Brownlow.

Tonight I found a new way to fail. Last week I optimistically entered a comp at work. You had to pick the best player from each club and the top three across each the AFL. Naively (yes, I'll admit that) I thought that not knowing anything about football would help. I did some research on Friday morning and compiled what I thought would be a kick arse list... WRONG. I came last out of 20 people... and not a respectable last either. Hell no. I am last by a margin of, oh, a good 30 points. Man, if I cared about football and would so T O'd.

Well, it's my uncle's funeral tomorrow so I better get some rest. He died on Friday morning and I'm feeling pretty bad about not feeling bad. I didn't really know him - and what little I did know, I didn't like. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll hear some things about him that change my mind a little. God knows death is great for your PR. You can be a real (avert your eyes Nanna) cunt while you're living and still be one of the NICEST PEOPLE JUST ABOUT EVER once you're in a box. Of course, there were people who loved my uncle (my aunt, for one) so he can't have been all bad.

I never really lost anyone I've been close to, so I'm dreading the day. Anyway - this turned into a longer post than planned.

WAR OUT, SISTA.

Moore Money??

Hey All,

In Re: to an e-mail ben sent me and an article in THE AGE today, Michael Moore is considering doing a movie on the shambles of a response the US government made in response to Katrina.

And I love michael moore even if he is deceptive but it looks pretty bad when you have a guy thinking of making a movie about an event that the dust hasn't even settled on yet. They don't even know how many people are dead or where the bodies are. How objective and factual could it possible be?

I think Moore could do better by donating some of his mega bucks to help the relief efforts rather than trying to sort a pile of cash to put towards another flick.

And yes, I have just read a pretty damning book about Moore and his antics but I still think my opinion would be the same.

If moore is all about uncovering truth and holding politicians to answer than he would do better as the head of an independent enquiry, not the director of a movie that will try and rake in a shit load of cash.

My thought for the day.

There's No Chicken of the Sea

I have just a few small words of enlightenment for the Aussie guy who called for the culling of sharks after he was attacked yesterday

Shark live in sea
Shark eat meat
Shark get hungry
Don't go in sea

I know this is rocket science people but if you are going to suit up so you look like a huge tasty seal and then go thrashing around in the water let's not blame the shark if he gets a bit pekkish.

Glenroy: Where Saturday comes to die

Thanks for the party last night Liz. It was hilarious. It was like watching a Channel 31 version of Secret Life of Us. Cheers!
