fridayness

a collection of random stuff floating around my brain today:

- john howard has renewed his call for an overhaul of the australian schools history curriculum.

he says students need to be made aware of the "central issues" in our nation's development, and that his ideal of a new syllabus will not be an "official" version based on his ideological standpoint, and will include indigenous history, as well as the history of immigration.

oh really, johnny?

i'm tempted to go back to high school if the truth is actually going to be taught there.

or, if not, to sit at the back and shout "LIES" every time i disagree with something.

also I believe a schoolgirl uniform could come in VERY handy on weekends.

- there was a teller at the bank this morning rubbing his nipples with great aplomb while staring at his computer screen in a most presumably porn-viewing of ways.

---

- my flatmate search is proving rather difficult.

how is it that the minute i need somebody to live with, everybody i know is suddenly all stable and content in their living arrangements?

- if you are looking for something to do in sydney over the next few weeks, and you like being down with arty shit:

go to the old fitzroy, have a laksa and a beer, and take in 'thrall'.

'thrall' is a fabulous play, written by the magnificent sue smith, directed by the devastatingly attractive leland kean, and featuring a cast so smoking i almost hacked up a lung on opening night marveling at their brilliance (or perhaps it was because i had the flu?)

mention my name at the door and you might not be allowed in.

- this past week my life has been defined by a bizarre series of coincidences and random encounters.

if i was more of a tree-hugger i'd get all spiritual and ponder whether the universe is trying to tell me something.

but i'm not, so i don't.

---

- i have become intrigued of late by the alleged falsification of details in the media hype surrounding new film '2:37'.

one of my sources last week alerted me to the possibility of rather immoral lies being used in the film's promotion.

that's right bitches, i gots sources. SUCK ON THAT!

of course this is all absolutely none of my business, but i do love a good smackdown (when and if one is in order).

and that's all i'll say about that.

ohmigawd if fondula don't win triple j unearthed this year my whole notion of right and wrong and good and evil and hot and not will be forever tarnished.

this has nothing to do with the fact that i've like totally got a lady crush on sex-on-legs vocalist martelle hammer.

nothing at all.

-the goddess of wax is doing it kinda tough at the mo.

this makes me sad.

please, if you need your "bits" tended to anytime soon, email me for her details.

i promise you won't regret it.

in fact, i guarantee you'll love it so much you'll try to grow hair in new places just so you can see her more often.

lord knows i've tried to.

---

- it's possible i have a new crush.

i'll confirm when i know for sure.

watch this space.

---

and those are just some of the many things taking up space in my head today.

see what i have to put up with being me?

i hope you all have lovely weekends.

eat, drink, be merry, etc.
