Friday, December 31, 2010. Being the Good One. The people across the road from me have been letting off fireworks for a couple of days now. I trust the intensity will increase in about 13 minutes, too. It is totally illegal to buy, sell, own, or use fireworks in Victoria - but if it wasn't, I would love to be letting off my own. How come THEY get to do it, and presumably get away with it? How come they feel no qualm, no fear, no guilt? Why do I have to be the good one all the time? The Baby, She Crazy!

Friday, November 05, 2010. Right, I hate people. Honestly, I never saw myself as being that great, until I started comparing myself with others. So many people in the world are stupid, will-fullly ignorant, weak-willed, greedy, petty, and filled with hatred. Oh my, I guess I fit into that last category, at least! Seriously, I can't go ONE SINGLE DAY anymore without wondering WHERE DID HUMANITY GO WRONG? I try to discuss differences of opinion in a calm and rational manner instead of striding off in a huff.

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Take a look at this bus station ad which I photographed myself this morning. Life's better connected.". What does that even mean? You can't use a comparative term without giving something to be compared. Life's better connected than an unlikely shimmering silver sphere? Even if it were a complete sentence, it still wouldn't mean anything, and would certainly have no relevance to a car! Do empty buzzwords really sell products? I guess they must. B) other people obviously are.

http://funnyoldworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/for-all-my-lovely-and-loyal-followers.html
Sunday, August 01, 2010. For all my lovely and loyal followers, if there are any left, I now intend to blog more regularly over at The Baby, She Crazy! This is because most of my doings these days are baby-related, and somehow it seemed appropriate to pretty much give her a blog of her own! I will probably still update here sometimes, when I do things that have nothing to do with Elspeth. So, like, in 50 years or so. haha. I reckon I can find my way over there now and again. Probably. The Baby, She Crazy!

Funny Old World: Centrelink Woes
http://funnyoldworld.blogspot.com/2011/01/centrelink-woes.html
Friday, January 07, 2011. Centrelink are so good. At being useless, that is. It's a funny thing; most of the people in their call centre are helpful and friendly, but somewhere in the background, behind the scenes, Centrelink is a looming hulking monstrosity. Oh, your husband's income is too high. You will not be getting any Austudy.". So now I await their little investigation and a callback to tell me what the hell is going on. Am I special? Will I get any money? I'm tipping the latter. Unfortunately th...

http://funnyoldworld.blogspot.com/2010/10/spiders-and-i-do-not-get-along.html
Monday, October 18, 2010. Spiders and I do not get along. In fact, they scare the living shit out of me. This has not always been a case. As a child, I'm sure I was tolerant of arachnids. But one day in primary school, a substitute teacher told us a story of a woman who was bitten by a certain type of spider, and whose skin subsequently rotted away and she died. Since then, my fear of spiders has gotten worse and worse, and now I have no hesitation in calling it a phobia. And so I relate today's incident.

Funny Old World: "All babies are a gift from God"
http://funnyoldworld.blogspot.com/2011/01/all-babies-are-gift-from-god.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. All babies are a gift from God". All babies are a gift from God and i think people really need to remember that! I think people really need to remember that not everybody believes in God, and if they do, it may not be the same God you believe in. Approximately one third. Of the world's population is Christian, which means two thirds. That is, a vast majority) are not. But they do, all the time, in ways both subtle and overt. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Funny Old World: Television
http://funnyoldworld.blogspot.com/2011/03/television.html
Tuesday, March 01, 2011. I was talking to my dad today about television. Neither of us watch an awful lot, but he pointed out that a lot of TV shows and movies are all about people being irresponsible and silly, and I had to concede he has a point. It made me wonder at what point, and why, do the makers of television programs think, "Ok, enough good messages, lets go wild! Why bother drilling excellent examples into the heads of very young children, only to undo it all later with frivolity? And NYE is la...

Wednesday, December 01, 2010. My grandfather died on Thursday, and his funeral was today. Don't chime in with commiserations; I wasn't close to him and I'm not really upset. But this is a musing on the funeral. By the end of the ceremony, I was wondering how many brain cells I had lost by listening. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Baby, She Crazy!
