I was walking to work today and I saw a $20 note on the footpath. I picked it up, but it’s weird – I don’t know what to do with it. A few years a ago I found a $50 note and ended up getting bad burritos from a bad Mexican restaurant. But now, having avidly [...] Observations on three current television commercials 1. The Lynx Voodoo ad I just got back from the 48 Hours film competition final. Tragically, “The Sceptre of MacGuffin” didn’t win, but it did get mighty big laughs from the audience. I think it was probably the one film that got the most laughs. My supermodel joke also got a big laugh, but again Andy stole the show with [...] Last night, on the way to the bus stop after work, I stopped by one of the Gloria Jean’s Coffees on Queen Street. I’d noticed a few GJCs around Melbourne when I was there, but I never patronised any.

My [...] Last year I was going to be in team Squeegee for the 48 Hour Film making competition, but instead I went to bloody Paris. This year the cafe au lait and pain au chocolat have been replaced with a cup of instant coffee and a bowl of cereal, but this year I’m back in the [...] Celebrating a decade of body piercing in popular culture, as told in six semi-fictional vignettes. It’s ok. We’ll use an anaesthetic. 28 May 1994 When the guy writing the article for the university student magazine asked Ian what his biggest fear was, Ian said it was, “that the American corporate death burger culture that is slowly spreading like [...] Last week I took my car to get a warrant of fitness. My vehicle was failed, FAILED!, for the following reasons: - My front left tyre, the one that had got a little bit flat, and that I couldn’t get any air in, had worn down to give a tread of 0mm, under the legally allowed [...] I’ve spotted posters around town looking for people who had a Cabbage Patch Kid back in the ’80s who have an interesting story to tell as part of a documentary about the aforementioned dolls. This is my Cabbage Patch Kids story: I was about 10 when the CPK phenomenon was at its peak. I wanted a Cabbage [...] |
