CONFESSION. i watch A&E’s Intervention to cheer myself up. is that bad? i mean, it may have been a bad day and all, but at least i’m not huffing computer duster or shooting up heroin. right? anyone? its all about perspective. that or i’m just an asshole.

 It’s ok to laugh at Alison because she’s all better now. If I wasn’t on the ancient work PC with crap internet I’d find her post-rehab interview. She’s even cool with people laughing at her Intervention episode. I’m a cynical fuck, but knowing that she’s ok now made me really happy.

“The Dingo”

When Aussies ask me if I miss Xmas in the US, I always say, “Well, I grew up in San Diego. We do Xmas a lot like you guys do. Santa in board shorts, Xmas lights on palm trees (which was being done long before that Corona spot on tv) and Xmas dinner on the BBQ.” It wasn’t always warm and sunny during Xmas back home, but you can say the same for Melbourne. My first Xmas here it actually hailed. It snowed at Mt Buller. 

What DO I miss? Kids knocking on your door carting an ice-chest full of their abuela’s tamales for sale. My grandma’s chile verde on Xmas day (she is 100% Okie, so don’t ask me how chile verde became a Xmas tradition in that family). All of my mom’s old Danish ornaments and decorations (that I saw exact reproductions of in Ikea last week). My mom and I making grand plans to bake like we did when I was kid and then saying “aw, fuck it” and instead buying a sheet cake from Vons and eating the whole thing ourselves.

And yeah, I spell it Xmas. It’s faster.

It only has a bit role in “Children of Men”, but I think the Battersea Power Station is just as (if not more) sexy than Clive Owen.

The photo doesn’t do it justice, but watching movies projected onto the wall is pretty rad. We’ve already decided to mount the projector and install a pull-down screen.

I may never go to a cinema full of open-mouthed chewers again.

Watching “Moon” via projector on our living room wall.

Tequila: Bad News

At the Movember Gala. We’re in a giant tent next to the ferris wheel at Federation Square. It is bucketing down rain. There are so many dodgy moustaches here it looks like a worldwide NAMBLA convention.

Ross and Iainwith2is at the Movember Gala. It is pouring rain and I am wearing 4.5” heels. sigh

I don’t know why I have an upside-down bird on my finger.

I hope the look Ross was going for was “Pablo Escobar’s interior decorator”, because he’s nailed it.

Children who cheat at skeeball grow up to be the douchebags that make more money than you do.

ARB Skeeball!

I never cheated at skeeball, but I did figure out how to steal tickets at Chuck-E-Cheese (or was it Showbiz Pizza?). If you pulled on them really slowly you could unwind the entire roll. Don’t worry. I don’t even remember what the awesome prize was, but I’m sure it was a hollow victory.
