On The Patty Winters Show this morning a Cheerio sat in a very small chair and was interviewed for close to an hour... Halloween this year fell on a Saturday, and was one day after I started my new job. I elected to go this year as American Psycho 's Patrick Bateman, moments after the murder of Paul Owen. I spent the afternoon shopping for and preparing what turned out to be an ...
I'm mixing business with leather, Christmas with Heather. Freaks flock together, And make all the B.boys scream... - Beck - Mixed Bizness So then the second SCUM Christmas party happened, this time at an actual venue, and the improvement on the last was overwhelming. We'd all come dressed up, however there was some doubt as to whether everyone would be admitted inside - especially since it ...
There may not be a Mad Dan, Daniel O., Jo or a BernBalls, but the training group I am encountering on my second trip around SCUM is made up of not unpleasant people. If there is anything to complain about them personally, it is that they are a very business-as-usual bunch. Numerous times now I have mentioned less-than-slyly the possibility of after-work drinks, to very little response. The ...
So in August, I spent a couple of minutes designing an image for a competition that Smith's Chips were running to create a new flavour. The grand prize was insignificant, something like a meager percentage of the profits from sales of that particular flavour, to a maximum of $20,000 for the life of the product. I sent them the following concept, along with a similar one on Sim's behalf for 'Vegan...
A sketch on last night's Hey Hey It's Saturday reunion show which may not be included on the inevitable DVD release was a blackface parody / tribute (I didn't actually see it) to the Jackson Five.

Tonight Channel 9 played Transformers . I searched everywhere for the film on DVD when its sequel was playing before I went to see it at the movies, but couldn't find it. I guess it was a popular school holiday title. But then, on tonight of all nights, Channel 9 played Transformers ... A movie about a boy and his car. Tomorrow morning at eight.AM Lucky is booked into a mechanic for a road ...
I gave myself an early Christmas presents. Months ago, whilst on business at a JB HiFi store that I rarely visit, I saw a copy of Kingdom Hearts II for a reasonable price. I snapped it up, having never seen it for sale before or since, and put it away for a Christmas gift to myself, then continued playing Kindom Hearts , and, when that was finished, Chain Of Memories. I thouroughly enjoyed ...
Girls sat crying at the side of the road, one of them holding a handful of blood-soaked tissues to the side of her face. Three guys stood above them, pacing nervously, and sharing the occasional quiet word. I pulled up next to them and switched on my hazard lights. The boys looked even more nervous when I stood out of my car. 'Is that your car?' I asked, pointing towards the Honda Civic sitting ...
