Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!
Yes, things look different. I’m still using WordPress as the main content management system, but I’ve switched to the extremely flexible (and beautiful!) theme Tarski.
The header photo is the Sydney Harbour Bridge, shot on my Nokia N80 phone last weekend. I’ll fiddle with the colours and other elements later.
OK, OK, I’ve been busy again and haven’t had much of that “reflective time” I need to write something interesting. So here’s a pointer to a great little article on How To Be Creative. The first piece of advice? “Ignore everybody.”
I’ve just upgraded the WordPress software that runs this blog and I’m about to fiddle with the layout, so expect a few glitches for the next couple of days.
A week ago I suggested it was premature to predict a landslide victory for the ALP’s Kevin Rudd in the forthcoming federal election. But this graph from The OzPolitics Blog today is certainly suggesting otherwise.
Does anyone have a parachute?
Thanks, as always, to Gaping Void for the insight.
Yesterday, while walking the Sydney Harbour Bridge and afterwards (photos to come), we heard a couple of magnificent comments from children.
From a girl about 10 years old, objecting to being told what to do by her father: “If you love me, you’ll stop being arrogant.” (I’m impressed that she knew “arrogant” at her age!)
And two girls, also about 10yo, chanting together:
We don’t do the dishes
Because we’re so delicious!
That’s a damn fine excuse for not doing the housework if ever I heard one. And they were as cute as buttons. I’d even have taken a quick photo except that in the 21st Century any attention given to someone else’s children brands you a paedophile. Bloody paranoia.
