Welp, that was a nice planet we had once. Thanks America.
I wonder if Elon Musk is taking applications for his Mars colony yet?

What’s a Woman?
Loving Ali Barter’s new track Girlie Bits. Savage lyrics with a deceptively sweet tune and delivery…
Also, how good is samuraiguitarist’s western cover of The Final Countdown?
Have been busy with a number of projects lately, which will hopefully see the light of day soon. Assuming of course the world doesn’t end when either President Trump starts World War III or a new Civil War breaks out on the election of President Clinton.
Interesting times my friends, interesting times…
Thug Life
I had to walk home the long way today because someone got shot. Bayswater is apparently now the Hood.
(They weren’t actually badly injured – it’s not even entirely sure that they were shot by a gun at this point, as opposed to maybe a slingshot, or a small meteorite)
Deliver Us From Evil
Accuse me of schadenfreude if you must, but watching Scott Morrison repeatedly invoke ‘the pre-poll!’ like some kind of magic charm against the Labour swing is deeply satisfying.
Hung Parliament here were come!
Cunning, Flesh-Covered Androids
We have now entered the media blackout period for Saturday’s Federal election. Praise the lord for small mercies. If I had to watch another ad with Malcolm Turnbull droning …jobs. and. growth. jobs. and. growth… or Bill Shorten trying to convince us he’s not some sort of cunning, flesh-covered android I may well have gone spare.
It currently looks like the Libs will get back in, probably with a reduced minority. Not the ideal situation, but as long as they don’t get control of the Senate it won’t be a complete disaster. God alone knows what’s going to happen up there, what with the new Senate voting rules and the ever increasing numbers of insane micro-parties – let alone the fact that the double dissolution has put all the Senate seats up for grabs. Interesting times my friends, interesting times. Get your monkey paws ready.
I am currently in the last stages of preparation for my trip to the UK. Airbnb has decided that I am a human being rather than some sort of cunning, flesh-covered android which means I have organised some places to stay and will not have to sleep under a series of canal bridges. This, combined with getting enough stuff completed at work before I leave means I have not had time to do much else, hence the lack of updates.
I have started to develop the ability to recognise New Zealand postcodes. I’m not sure if this is for good or ill.
Brexit
Well, it was a nice global economy we had there once.
Thanks Mr Farage!
Party over, whoops, out of time
This year is really trying my patience.
Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Outrage
To everyone getting all bent out of shape, Captain Cook DID NOT invade Australia!
He merely did some light trespass. The invasion came 18 years later with the arrival of the First Fleet.
Get your facts straight! Sheeze!
Hunting for Witches
You know, I really feel bad for the right wing of the Liberal Party. The review they demanded into the Safe Schools program has turned out to be a balanced and fair investigation instead of the ideologically fueled witch hunt they were expecting. I mean, what’s happening to this country when you can’t even get a good, old fashioned, small-minded, hate-filled witch hunt going? Jeeze!
Do Over
First David Bowie, now Alan Rickman.
Can we start the year over again?
Please?
