The Drugs Do Work

Congrats to The Drugs! I just got confirmation from their lovely Record Label Gal that The Drugs are going to appear on Rove Live on July 2nd with Ridge from The Bold & the Beautiful with their brand-spanking new single "The Bold & the Beautiful," surprisingly enough. Be sure to check 'em out on Rove and there's lots going on in Sydney tomorrow night, but my pick is still The Drugs @ the Annandale.

This weekend is finally the Sydney Writer's Festival which I bet some people are sick of listening/reading me blog about all the damn time.. Don't worries, kiddies, it'll be over by Monday. ;-) Looking forward to it!

Tomorrow our friend Lisa arrives from the States. Just when one little Boston Uni Yankee leaves, another one arrives. We've got a constant flow of Yankees here! Watch out, Australia, we're multiplying.

Off to meet some friends for drinks now, I think. I say "I think" because I'm currently sitting nice and comfy and warm on my couch and the longer I stay here, the less likely I am to move. :)

A World For Dummies?

Yeah, it's bad enough when kids bring guns to school on their own, but when they have their parents helping them, that's even better! . Check out what this 3 year old brought for show and tell.

The Little Addict + Obedience

Two things..
1. I am now addicted to Leisure Suit Larry. I can't stop playing!
2. Found a nice article reminding us all about the amazing Stanley Milgram, the social psychologist who proved what no one would have believed otherwise. The way we influence each other and are influenced by one another, particularly by people in authority - it's freaking scary!

Happy Birthday, Kelsey!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful cousin, Kelsey! I can't believe you're 14 now, baby! Sigh...I feel so old! Have an awesome time, kiddo, wish I could be there! Have extra fun for me! ;-) Love you!

Dr. Seuss + Random Thoughts

Good ol' Springfield, Massachusetts (my hometown) makes national news on CNN today as Springfield's most famous ex-Resident, Dr. Seuss,gets a shout-out!

What happened to Peter Gabriel? I love him. Why is he reduced to singing the theme song for Australia's Women's Day Mag? No offense to the mag, but really!

Take the American Bravado Test. I scored 64%, which I'm a bit surprised about!

Writer's Block?
Got writer's block? Well reading my writing exercises might make you feel better ;)
Short-Cut was my submission for the Sydney Writer's Festival. It's based on a true story and I had to cut about 4 pages out to fit the time constraints, but you get the gist.
