Recent Posts Rural PharmacyOctober 8th 2007 06:04
There's an ad on TV at this moment (though perhaps only in regional areas, given its content), trying to encourage young people to do pharmacy. If you haven't seen the ad, the premise is that there is a conversation between two people over MSN, or another similar program. You basically read the transcript of what they are talking about, which happens to be pharmacy. There is the typical MSN neglect of vowels and overuse of numbers, et cetera, which is very frustrating to anybody older than 17 or so.
But it concerns me that pharmacy organisations are targeting these people. Surely in this abbreviated world, something is going to get mixed up. Though it is presumably less embarassing to go to the chemist to ask for hmrrd crm. The ad also implies that a pharmacist's white coat is considered 'sexC', ie- sexy. I would like to say that disregarding the fact that it is actually easier to spell the word sexy than the word 'SexC', I don't know how sexually attractive the notion of a pharmacist is. Do people have pharmacy fantasies. Quite frankly, I think that a pharmacy is the least sexy place in the world. You only go to a pharmacy to deal with something embarassing. So perhaps some people do find pharmacists sexy. I would like to warn you that I am not one of them. Become a pharmacist, by all means, but don't do it with the misapprehension that I will like you more for it.
ARIA Award Nominations, and why they suckSeptember 20th 2007 02:11
Yeah, so much for daily. At least it's not monthy yet. Though almost.
I'm a little put off by the ARIA award nominations this year. I say I'm a little put off because I was so put off last year that I had to pass a kidney stone just to take my mind off it. Now it's just a little bit downhill. Like having a remix album nominated for Album of the Year, to make up for the fact that they didn't notice Gotye last year when everyone else did. Quick thinking guys. Next year, why not nominate the Easybeats? Has it really been such a bad year for Australian music? Sure, it's not like I expect The Drones to be nominated, since they're actually a good band, but come on. It's depressing that the band that's probably going to win Album of the Year is Silverchair, particularly since they've never won it before. But their latest album is their worst album. And they've had some pretty bad albums. Have you heard Neon Ballroom. That record gave me rheumatoid arthritis. Still, at least Operator Please got nominated for two awards, so at least the ARIA people were listening to my radio show last year some of the time. Meh.
Thought on John Howard and WikipediaAugust 24th 2007 07:06
Well, at least its encouraging to get some feedback. According to the ratings, people don't care for political commentator commentary, which is fair enough. What is interesting is that people much prefer jokes about the profoundly disabled. Go Team Political Correctness.

George Megalogenis CommentAugust 21st 2007 07:28
I've just finished reading a book by George Megalogenis called 'The Longest Decade'. Well, when I say I just finished it, I mean that I finished it about two weeks ago. But it's not like I've been blogging often enough to make it appear that outdated. It's just the delay between my reality and what you read on this blog.
Just briefly, I'd like to say that I'm disappointed that the first chapter wasn't called 'Megalogenesis'. That was such a missed opportunity
Stephen Hawking QuestionAugust 20th 2007 11:19
I've been seriously neglecting this blog, and I'm sorry. This isn't a proper update, but simply an observation. Do you think that Stephen Hawking uses the acronym 'lol'.
Brady Bunch QueryAugust 13th 2007 01:18
In the thirty-eight years since the Brady Bunch was made, I’m sure that this must have been pointed out by someone else. How come they are always worried about their financial situation, yet keep a maid? What sort of single-income, six-child suburban household can afford a maid anyway?
Influenza Part TwoAugust 8th 2007 01:59
I toyed with calling this entry Flu2, after everyone's favourite over-earnest Dublin band, but then I realised that over-earnest Dublin bands is a rather narrow field, and most people as a result don't care for U2. Oh well.
I had a terrible night’s sleep last night. Actually, I say last night. My system of backlogging blog entries means that to you it would be Sunday night/Monday morning. But it shouldn’t matter. It’s not like you were there
Influenza Part OneAugust 7th 2007 01:39
I have the flu. Perhaps its poetic justice for a joke I made last week about influenza. Perhaps I just caught it from someone. I have got to stop making out with homeless people.
And I know it’s not just a cold. People say they have the flu when they just have a really bad cold. These people are sooks. I’ve had the awful headaches, the aches and pains, the fever, the blocked sinuses. Everything. I knew it was the flu from the moment I woke up on Sunday. Usually when I wake up, I think something along the lines of ‘Hello world!’ On Sunday I woke up and thought, ‘Ow, my everything hurts
Baby in a Leather JacketAugust 6th 2007 08:08
I saw a baby in the supermarket with a leather jacket. The baby would have been about two, and was sitting in a trolley. And granted, it probably wasn’t actually leather, but a synthetic material that looked a lot like leather, but one more expendable, so it can suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous infancy, ie- mess, without costing the life of a cow.
All I’m going to say is that a baby in a leather jacket is really forward thinking. It prepares the two-year-old for his inevitable mid-life crisis, where he’ll look to buy a leather jacket, and find himself accustomed to it already. That way he won’t overdo the crisis and end up dating Ashton Kutcher

Maybe I'm saying that because I talked about them in my blog today.
