When a thought is too weak to be expressed simply, it is a proof that it should be rejected.



More smoke! Errol Flynn Park, Sandy Bay. March 2013.

Another stolen Q and A from Sunday Stealing: The Basically Obscure Meme-Part 2.

38: How did you spend Valentine’s day?

Much like any other work day. I've never been someone to be told when and how to express my emotions.

39: Do you eat enough vegetables?

I think that I do. I eat more than most.

40: Do you like horror movies? How about thrillers?

They're okay. I'll be frank though and admit that I've had little time for films in the past six or seven years.

41: Do you like scotch? ?

Not particularly.

42: Who is someone you would never swear in front of?

I avoid swearing in any work context (unless I'm very sure of the sensitivities of the person that I'm talking to).

43: Coolest thing you've ever seen on Halloween?

We don't really have Halloween here in Tasmania. I did like the film, however.

44: If you could change your natural hair colour, would you? To what?

I'm happy with brown hair, to be honest. I more delighted with the fact that I still have a full head of hair.

45: What subject would you take if you were forced to take a free class? ?

A scuba diving course.

46: Do you use a reusable grocery bags?

We get the groceries delivered.

47: City or nature person?

Increasingly a nature person.

48: Have you ever used something other than "makeup" as makeup? (Like paint? Markers?)

No. I'm not sure I've ever used make-up as make-up.

49: Do heights bother you? can look look out the window on the top floor of a skyscraper?

Like a lot of things, heights don't bother me unless I'm in an actual dangerous situation. That is, I have no problem looking out the window of the skyscraper, but might have one if I'm outside the window on the ledge.

50: Post 5 awesome things about your blog. BRAG AWAY!

  1. It has 4,046 posts!

  2. It's in its six year of continuous operation (and about five years straight without missing a daily post).

  3. There aren't a lot of other sites featuring Tasmania.

  4. I don't make a cent out of it! (A good thing?)

  5. It's been an easy way to catalogue some of my photos.

Mad as hell

So there I was, arm hooked up to the machine, watching my plasma swirl away into a bag while the morning news dribbled across the screen like a bad fever dream. And what were they showing? A "riot" in Melbourne, allegedly. The sort of riot where the real thugs wear body armour, carry pepper spray and look like they just walked off the set of RoboCop. The people they were beating? A ragtag crew of teenagers and old hippies—probably fresh out of a drum circle, still smelling of patchouli. But sure, let's call it a riot. Now, here's where it really gets good. I mentioned this spectacle to a few people later, thinking maybe they'd share my outrage or, at the very least, give a damn. But no. What did I get instead? A smirk, a chuckle, and—oh, the pièce de résistance—"You should really just let it go." Let it go? Yeah, let me uncork a nice, overpriced cup of coffee, sit back with my legs crossed, and soak in the latest reality TV trash. Why bother caring when ...

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. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...
