Whale Sushi: April 2007
http://whalesushi.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. Criticism of Iraq World Cup Format Mounts. Media monitors have reported that television viewers are increasingly switching off the ‘World Cup of Iraq’, disappointed with the ‘seemingly endless’ nature of the format of the competition. This has been echoed by a number of prominent critics who are asserting that the governing body responsible for the Iraq contest should simply ‘get on with it’ and ‘establish a clear winner’. Links to this post. Sunday, April 22, 2007. True confessio...

Whale Sushi: November 2006
http://whalesushi.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 30, 2006. The god of victory and conspicuous consumption. You are a corrupt border guard working in the run-down airport of a small third-world nation. As deplaning passengers file past you, already sweating and flapping uselessly at the heat, they press crumpled 20 dinar notes into your dirty palm. It’s a living, you know? You can’t help but notice that he receives crisply-folded 50 dinar notes. Later you ask him about this and he shrugs. I spend 1000 dinars a week on prostitutes!

Whale Sushi: December 2006
http://whalesushi.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. The little book of monster wisdom. A heart in the hand is worth two in the chest cavity. Beggars can’t be choosers and are seldom missed. Children should be tasted and not heard. It’s always brightest before sunset. Once bitten, twice should finish them off. The early wolf catches the paperboy. Brain is better than brawn for a zombie after dawn (brawn is better than brain for the wolfman down the lane). Don't hog a dead horse. Blood is thicker than amniotic fluid. In an alterna...

Whale Sushi: January 2007

Monday, January 29, 2007. 2006 in Review: Cordials of the Year. Cheeky, almost slutty, in its insouciant wantonness…. 2006 was another good year for cordials with those from the New World again showing they can take the battle to the Old World and win. Sugar was once more the dominant motif but with a rising tide of metabisulphites which augurs well for this growing industry. My top 5 for the year are:. Cottees ‘Blackfellowes Creek’ Raspberry Cordial. Remember not to ‘climb’ it out of respect! But rarest...

Whale Sushi: March 2007
http://whalesushi.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. Outside my window there are flashing lights in the sky! Coming to Eath – I don’t know what they are. A hideous screaming sound! They’re breaking in! Smashing through the walls with terrible ease. Tentacles, tentacles, a jiggling mass of tentacles. They’re coming for me! One long mottled green tentacle is worming across the floor towards me! There’s nowhere to hide. And now it’s creeping up my leg and heading for my anus and hgwqdo ad[ krosdgk dngd. Links to this post. On medical...

Monday, October 30, 2006. Skim-Reading Through the Ages. You might be interested in an excerpt from my forthcoming book:. Once Lightly Over: An Illustrated History of Skim-Reading Through the Ages. Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. yadda yadda. Now we are engaged blah blah blah in a great civil war… [etc]. Links to this post. Notes from the class war. The road rul...

Whale Sushi: August 2007
http://whalesushi.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 16, 2007. It's all in the deliverance. When this blog began, it was a miracle of modern snarkness and nothing but. But today with all the funny stuff taking place over at Snarkeology (er, sometimes), whale sushi has become slightly more of a traditional blog - you know, where I moan about stuff and you empathise.). Wrote a short bit for the night about the remoteness of Wanniassa (seriously its a 25 minute frickin drive down there - I know that sounds short by Sydney standards but its a ...

Whale Sushi: May 2007

Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Glass half-full.of human suffering! Last week I went to the opening of the new Canberra Glassworks Centre. Described as: ‘Built and funded by the ACT Government, Canberra Glassworks is Australia's only cultural centre that is wholly dedicated to contemporary glass art.’. I quickly jotted down the following chronology as it appeared to me through a glass darkly. Canberra Glassworks opens to the public. First courses in glass art offered to the public. 8216;Glass’ is now univ...

Whale Sushi: Stand-up for your love rights
http://whalesushi.blogspot.com/2007/07/stand-up-for-your-love-rights.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2007. Stand-up for your love rights. Did Stand-up tonight at the Front cafe and gallery in Lyneham as part of a regular monthly gig they have with about 7 or 8 comics on the Bill including an MC who came up from Melbourne (oooh Melbourne, edgy). I gotta say I loved it. I think I did pretty well, got some good laughs, some good ad-libs. I felt very comfortable. But the August gig is booked out - I probably won't get on the bill so may have to wait until September. 2 blog or not 2 blog.
