the tumbleweeds tumble past like weeds tumbling...

well it's a quiet day here. busy as with work but i still need my fix! nothing of note in my day and nothing has appeared on the radar as yet. even so, here's a few little nuggets of interest or surprise.

Furniture Causes FedEx Fits at Wired News is an interesting tale of a bloke who made furniture from FedEx boxes and has copped a few problems from the shipping company themselves. why, who knows.

this one got some press a while back when a girl who was thought to be dead resurfaced, living with her boyfriend. the boyfriend had previously lied in court as to her whereabouts. not a huge deal i would have thought EXCEPT another poor bastard was being convicted of her murder. nice. hope the sex was good while he was giving it cause he'll be at the receiving end for a bit. 12 months for runaway perjury. it does have have to be mentioned that the 'poor bastard' that was being convicted was a serial murderer so i guess it's not so black and white after all...

a constant souce of vitriol for me in the god forsaken Ekka. maybe it's just lil' ol' scrooge me but what the fuck is all the hoo-har about really?!? it cost's about $10,000 to get in the joint, a can of softdrink is about $5,000 and the rides require a tetnus shot, legal insurance waver and a love of circus folk (hey, who doesn't love small hands and the smell of cabbage!). yep, come visit brisbane between 11-20 august and you'll be in for a cultural treat darn tootin! i guess if you really dig animal shows, log chopping comps and grannies flogging so-called 'home-made' fudge for more than the local price of cocaine then it might be your thing...

quote for the day:
"Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours."
- Benjamin Disraeli (1874 - 1880)
