ARIA Awards - grainy photos a-go-go!

Last night I went to the ARIA Awards. I saw them and they were good.

Opening the show was Eskimo Joe (favourites of mine):
How damn cute is Stu????
We also saw Wolfmother (incredibly awesome):

Pete Murray performed with John Mayer (THE John Mayer), and silverchair did a tribute performance to Midnight Oil. I don't even have words to describe how good all of the songs were - even people I can't stand to listen to (like Hilltop Hoods) seemed good. The Veronicas proved to everyone that they really can sing - despite things I have said about them in the past I would now not hesitate to spend cold hard cash on seeing them in concert. Youthgroup, Human Nature and Bernard Fanning all bored me to tears, but you can't win 'em all.

Afterall, I saw Eskimo Joe, Wolfmother and the almighty silverchair rock out all in the one place. If I died tonight it would be as a happy woman.

Funny

If you wait longer than 1 minute for the punchline.

Lisa Mitchell is the devil

Sure, that seems like a bold statement, but I present the following as evidence:


She's a shiny young reminder of why reality TV is what they watch in hell.

When all you've gotta keep is strong...

It's been a long week - I didn't get the holiday Monday off work so while everyone has worked 4 days I have worked 5, and it feels like 12. This really isn't so bad except that I have made no progress in getting up to date and I think setting fire to my desk is the only way to conquer Paper Mountain.

The last few weeks I have been getting out on those crazy power walks everyday, and the scales were my friends for a brief period, and I felt pretty ace in general and nothing like the crabby bitch I usually am. This week I am out injured and have lost all motivation for doing the damn walks anyhow, and the anti-inflammatory tablets I'm on make me 5 kinds of sleepy.

Why is it that no matter how much weight I lose I still feel like a fat old woman?
Why are there some people who always get everything they want even when they don't deserve it?
Do I deserve the things I want?
Feel free to answer these questions in essay form.

How to save a life

I've learnt some very valuable lessons from the news the last few days...

• When travelling to Australia fom Asia, don't give the impression that you have bird flu if you have condoms full of heroin inside your person. They will take you to hospital, and you will be in trouble. They will not kill you, however, as they're not Thai and/or evil.
• Three kilos of ecstasy is alot of ecstasy, I believe. If you happen to be carrying it around with you in the car it's probably a good idea to stick to the speed limit and not attract the attention of police by driving 20kms over it.
• Never be George Michael.
• If a news story seems to have something to do with the British royal family, for the love of god and all that is holy, DON'T CLICK ON IT.
