I record for the readers that I never asserted that I sweep once a week, simply that I would like a housemate to do so. Aunty B would also like cleaner, but we can't always get what we want. Current tally of this week's experience:. Sheer frustration at meaningless beauracracy: 2 counts. Sudafed extra strenth congestion pills swallowed: 5. Eucalyptus throaties sucked: 1 packet. Free settler cities visited: 1. Meals containing red meat since documentary viewing: 0. Is "open-minded" but does't take drugs.

Hey all you far flug mob. A word of excuse. Aunty B's been putting in the big hours in front of the computer screen recently in the daylight hours, and just can't get motivated to make any new words in her spare time. And god forbid that Buzz would become uninteresting or bland! But just for some ambience . Reading: the new Louis deBernieres . in giant hard copy because I couldn't. Smelling: my brand new mattress.firm as a very firm young man's. oh . that's right this is a public text. There's nought as ...

A man has re-programmed a single-task car-building robot to "think like a woman", that is it does several tasks at the same time, constantly reviewing its task list to see what it could be doing in the hold-points between jobs. Does it bitch about not having a boyfriend to come home to after all that multi-tasking, I wonder. If you live in the Northern Rivers area. Anyway, what does all this mean? Well - that's up to you, dear readers. A meditation on dancing. Dancing affects the dancer and the viewer...

Return of the King Review. Its not really a spoiler, there were a lot of "man tears" in this movie. Here's how all those LOTR blokes rated in the crying stakes. Top billing for man tears : David Wenham (Faromir). Definitely most convincing display. Father.you love my brother more than me. But then I. A bit biased towards Diver Dan. Best Man tears cutting through a dirty face: Samwise Gamgee. Did they put onions in his face? Dying, kind of. Looked too much like a CGI character for my liking. Faced with de...

All quiet on the Western Front. Issues to ponder from this week . . . Just because it’s Prada, does it make your night more fun? With our thoughts we make the world. How does one let contacts know one would be interested in a new job, without actually saying it? It is better to have a lover or a true friend? And why do I never have a matching bag? Is writing a hotline to the self or just another brick in the wall? Batter up, who's next? That was quite bracing ladies. Oh, and first floor is the one above).

Has anyone else noticed that the name of one of those accused of rape on Piticairn Island is Randy Christian? Wonders of the industrial world. Then watched the Da vinci show. I mean, clever and all - but he didn't seem to actually construct much, did he? As an aside, one Bsharp (intrepid girl scientist and pyschonaut) has discovered that the aural and visual and physical and cerebral, while complementary, do tend to compete for one's attention. So when there is good musica and, ahem, life, to be appr...

My friend has a comedy gig on Monday Night. Four young guys about to break it big time in the comedy world. Will Anderson is supporting them. Go. Buy a ticket. Send the boys to the Adelaide Fringe. Get them outta town. The internet nerd team has taken another step in harnessing the potential for new kinds of dialogue open to us in 2004. All credit to the divine Miss J ( Sixteen. No, surely you miss-counted, miss. Crumbs). We worked out how to do a. Function. Mmm dialogue. Melbourne is a lawless society w...

Aunty B tackles the fleas. Why Bee currently smells like a hippies' outdoor party and she has been vacuuming at 9pm on a Thursday night. I have a confession to make. My house has a flea infestation. No pet has lived here since September, 2004. This has been affecting my sense of self-worth, my relationships with flatmates and guests, and my personal comfort level when tormented by a galaxy of itchy red lumps all over my legs. Oh darnit, that's a lie. It started back in bloody 2003, about 3 months. So, fa...

There are so many ways to have a human interaction these days. And you know, many of them are quite clearly quagmires of risk to an unwary participant. Not sure what I mean? Well, so many young souls have reached out to another and been rebuffed, causing perhaps irreparable damage to our fragile little egos. Been betrayed by a lover? Rejected by a friend? Left out of some social plans? Given a “thanks but no thanks” to a job application? Had phone-calls go un-returned? Stings, don’t it. I invented this t...

Buzz and Words: Birdman review: Mutually assured destruction
http://beesharp.blogspot.com/2015/01/birdman-review-mutually-assured.html
Birdman review: Mutually assured destruction. I saw Birdman two weeks ago and have just about recovered from it enough to write about it. Some reviews have talked about the character's " fractured pysche. Empire) the multiple " collapsing walls. Between character and actor, onstage and off, representation and reality" (NY Times) and the amazing performances and " thrill ride. I want to talk about the outright, hard-assed verballing. But enough about me. Onto this screenplay. Riggan and the NYT Film critic.
