  • Hard News: The Spiral of Events,

    You might make a few of us with vaginas ... a little uncomfortable with that one.

    Hey, we're all feeling a bit queasy. It wouldn't matter what "the ship" had between her legs (I'm sure there's a nautical joke in there somewhere).


    So.... 3:40pm and Winston still has a job. He might even make it to the weekend.

  • Field Theory: The Undertaker is Hamlet,

    Two factors to consider: the act of creation and intent.

    that definition makes more sense.

    Shane Warne’s flipper

    his what?

    And if Warne’s flipper is not enough, check out the first 3 minutes of the 1974 FIFA World Cup final.

    youtube link?

  • Field Theory: The Undertaker is Hamlet,

    You could definitely say that Mahe Drysdale's road to an olympic medal was dramatic (rowing off against Waddell, Waddell's heart condition, Drysdale carrying the flag, catching Beijing belly, coming back for bronze). I don't know if that makes it art.

    The delicate art of making a yacht go fast could be interpreted as an art, I suppose.

  • Up Front: The Innocent Sleep,

    dog wearing a dress

    Its a medium sized dog (i don't know much about dogs). The dog looks slightly embarrassed about wearing the dress. The owner is an oriental dude, he seems friendly enough. I gave him a funny look, but he didn't feel compelled to explain the dog to me. Next time I see him i'm going to ask him more about it. Maybe the dog dressing is a cultural thing.

    not getting to sleep at night

    I find working in an office all day does that to me. At the end of the day, I'm mentally tired, but not physically. A bit of sport or something before/after/during work helps.

    Also staying away from teh interwebs & telly late at night helps

  • Up Front: The Innocent Sleep,

    a cat wearing dolls' clothes

    random side-note:
    There is a guy in Parnell who walks his dog up my street every day. The dog is always wearing a dress, though not always the same one. WTF?

  • Field Theory: Long Weekend,

    "Willis then spoke about being almost a missionary as he represented the "western" world against the might of the African distance runner. The man didn't just win a medal, he gave half the world hope."

    Not entirely clear whose words are whose.

    That is a bollocks article.

    I heard Willis on the TV this morning, he was thanking god for giving him the bronze medal, going on about how jesus made him faster, etc. So the missionary stuff might've been his words too.

    Great runner though.
