Blue is dumb

Damien has proven to be as big a cop out merchant as Gerard. At least Jules stood by her decision (even if I think that it was the wrong one). For Damien to wimp out too weeks running, AND THEN try and blame others, well, I guess it helps explain why he got to 210 kilos.

I still feel sorry for Laura. She's done a heap better than P’eta, who for some reason has everyone fooled. Laura has lost more weight each week, despite weighing 30 kilos less, and everyone keeps crapping on about how great P’eta is and how useless Laura is. I don’t get it.

Voting for Michael over Gerard is a dumb as the red teams call on Alex over the bitchy three.

Also, it was so heart-warming to see Gerard true to form and quit during the swim, on the first day back at training: "Oh god, this water's too wet! I can't swim in this! I prefer a dryer sort of water! It's too hard!"

For Damien to whine about Gerard at this point is nauseating. Unfortunately, his attitude has left me with only two bearable punters left.

Bearable : Greg, Laura

On the fence: Jules, Mel

Don’t like: Damien, Marty (and he’s pushing it)

Can’t stand: Courtney, Munnalita, Pati, P’eta

Can’t stand, but his attitude amuses me: Gerard

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
