Quote of the day
“It’s easier to get it off with your hand“….. said a friend today.
I would have thought that was obvious!!!
Context: was about getting dog hair off my clothing, after I had asked if she had a sticky hair roller.
Review – The Talking Vagina (Ver 2)!
Went to comedy show The Talking Vagina, which is part of The 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. I saw this show last year when my friend Daniel Rice was acting in it. I reviewed it in this blog here. I thoroughly enjoyed it last time. This time Daniel was directing it (it was his directorial debut!). It is hard to compare the two because this time there was a smaller and partly different cast and the venue was not exactly theatre friendly.
I enjoyed myself tonight as well. The roles of Jessica and her “fou fou” Frank were played by the same actors. They were just as funny this time but must saying I liked Frank last time better with the beard! Better suited to play a fou fou as described in the dialogue. In my reivew from last year I mentioned that I loved the Mr Wong character heaps, so I was disappointed that it was a different actor. The new Mr Wong took a bit to warm to, but he had some golden moments. Still I preffered the old one.
The set was as bare as you could get this time (even more so than last year) but it worked well enough. I really liked the scene where Jessica’s boyfriend Edward was helping Frank record a voice demo under the sheets while Jessica was sleeping.
The fou fou group meeting scene was also better last year, but if anything it was because there were more actors to play more characters than this year. But I really should stop comparing because they are so different. What I got tonight was a more casual approach (intentional?) and once or twice the actors got the giggles and lines were probably muffed (pun intended). Was quite amusing and well done for the improv and reigning it back in. At one point the actor who plays Mr Wong was doing another character but after getting the giggles went into the Mr Wong accent by mistake. Saved it somehow. FUNNY.
The crowd was pretty big and everyone had a good laugh, including me. Don’t know how to do a proper review. Congrats to Dan for directing his first show!

Yesterday’s weather was lovely. Not too hot, if a little windy. I ate my sandwich at the park across the road from work. I’m glad I remembered my sunnies!
Then I went for a walk afterwards. 3 Things that struck me:
1. Lots of pretty people in the CBD and I hope my next job is still in the city. So convenient.
2. Man chroming (sp?) in the middle of the day at possibly the busiest street in the CBD. Nobody batted an eyelid.
3. I must scream of customer service. I went to Kmart and 3 different people thought I worked there! Kmart staff don’t even wear blue shirt. Grrr
To sell or not to sell?

My once loved 2007 Avanti Blade Sport has been sitting on the rack for months, maybe more than half a year now (actually it was on loan to someone for a couple of months recently) and I’ve been debating whether I should sell it or not.
Being the hoarder that I am I find it hard to let of things. But I know its just sitting there.
I only have 1 good reason for wanting to keep it;
That one day I might want to do a rail trail ride or similar where I can’t use my roadie. I would buy some knobby tyres and use the Blade. After all, its a perfectly good bike. Its taken me around the bay. Has lots of gears for hills and is very solid.
BUT
If I don’t sell it now the value will keep going down.
Would a hardtail be better for trails anyway?

Doh!
You know when you sometimes leave a tissue in a pocket of you pants or something and then you put it in the washing machine? If you’re lucky it stays in the pocket and the load is not affected. But if it comes out then you get those annoying bits of tissue stuck on some of the clothes…
Well…
I’ve just gone to hang a load of washing and discovered an entire (half) roll of toilet paper has somehow gotten mixed in there!!!!!!
THERE IS TOILET PAPER EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I’ve spent the last half an hour shaken bits off all the clothes and it looks like its been snowing on my balcony. And most of it is still stuck on the clothes. Will wait til its dry and see if I can get it off with a clothes brush.
Otherwise I might wash it all again.
