Day 2 highlights: I put my milk in minifridge plus waffle gets cold outside in quarantine-ass hallway while my body remembers how to sleep

Only The Thief Knows When and How He Will Attack

A certain amount of modesty prevents any balanced individual from claiming that the reason things are tight is mainly the fault of someone else. The rich rely on the normal human decency of other people to permit them to continue on with their pilfering of the world, its resources and its citizens. In the same way that a bully relies on the reticence of his hapless victim and the paedophile relies on the helplessness and shame of his victim to keep the machinations of exploitation in place and steadily rolling. Power must be an intoxicating drug. It must be a seductive enabler. Studies have shown this. Any given group of people, handed the reins of power for any period, soon abuse that power.  People come to believe there is something divine or God-given in their ascent to a position of power or control - whether over other people or even animals.  We all recall teachers who seemed to revel in meting out punishment for this or that – detentions, extra home wor...

She Is Coming

Sweet Mary mother of god we are now gonna get a cat. I told the dogs. I split them up into separate rooms. I did BarnBoy first. "BarnBoy," I said, "I got some bad news and some even worse." He licked his cakehole like, whatever... I said "We are gonna get a cat." It didn't seem to register. Then I figured, he's been living in Germany for four years now.... so I said "We are gonna get a Katze!" and he twisted his head around from his ass so quick it made the blood well up in my ears. His tail went skyward, like a find-me flag on a woolworth's shopping cart. Then he was looking everywhere for the Katze. I said "Hey, big fella, she ain't here yet. She comes next week. And yes, I do mean to say 'She'." She, my mother used to say, is the cat's mother. To which I would always reply "Which cat? What the hell are you talking about?" I went in to the next room where our all-peeing, all-vomi...

All hail Matt Denny, the discus thrower from Allora (neighbouring town to Clifton) who threw the greatest sequence of throws ever by an Australian at the Olympic finals last night and finished 4th. All hail also Rohan Browning who won his heat of the 100 meters track sprint in astonishing fashion - it's the first thing I've ever seen that I literally could not believe while watching it. God I cried and whooped and hollered "You bloody beauty!" Shortly thereafter Matt threw again and again this amazing series of throws - all over 65 meters with a best of 67.02. It's hard to put what Matt did into perspective for non-athletes. The discus for men is a huge 2kg plate. Next time you're in a gym, non athletes, ahem, pick up a 2kg plate - well they probably don't have them, but they have 2.5kg plates, and have a feel of it in your hand. Then swing it around your body and notice that you couldn't throw it 15 meters, probably not 10 meters. Denny threw one 67...
