I've been tagged - five things you don't know about me

OK, I have been introduced to Blogtagging.

5 things you didn’t know about me/us…

1. We regularly engage in binge watching.

2. I’m unemployed, Suzanne’s not. So, if you have something for me to do, please contact me.

3. We can’t talk about work in the blog. Sometimes because we don’t wanna but mostly because we have signed a bit o’ paper that tells us not to. . And also because I think it bores the hell out of people!

4. Suzanne is really scared of spiders. I mean R E A L L Y scared.. (Paul's just scared of Suzanne. Except when he pretends to be a spider.)

5. Paul could watch butchers for hours, and tries to emulate them at home, much to the detriment of their dinner.

6. (because #2 is such a cop-out) Sometimes in a crowded shopping mall Paul pretends to be Kitty Pride and tries to phase through the crowds. (Further proof that he is a sad lonely boy.)

So time to tag...
Syme, Emm, Mixmaster J, Tracey (aka Shimmygirl), and somebody random...

They will do. (the review helped).

Left the South, I traveled North, I got confused - I killed a horse.

Ahhh, details. I've just realised I've been so obsessed with doughnuts and smores (that's one post you will never read) that I've forgotten to post some details of the bigger picture.

The story so far..
I left Sydney for the Gold Coast to do 'Monarch Cove'. Suzanne decided to follow a few weeks later and quit Animal logic after finishing up on 'Happy Feet', she came up about 4 weeks ago.

Currently we are living in a friends unit at Runaway Bay and all our 'stuff' is in a storage facility at Everton Hills. Suzanne managed to get a job 4 days after arriving and is back working at the studio.

At this stage the 'plan' is to move back into the Wilston unit when it becomes vacated in mid/end December. Sydney may still be a possible option in the future, but at the moment we seem to be Brisbane bound.

More soon.

Chargrilled Doughnuts 2.

Don’t use a sandwich press.. stick with the chargrill.

Alex lives.

It’s been a while between drinks but work is finishing up and I’ve now got time to watch TV and look at the internet.

Do a google search for ‘Monarch Cove’ and read the reviews, it on Lifetime TV.

The only high point at the moment is that the boss has gone to LA for a month and left me her Toyota MR2 spider. No w I can drive around the Gold Cost and live out my dodgy land developer fantasy. (Fifteen years later Lennon has been disbarred and is importing drugs in Darwin, and Alex sells overpriced art and marshland on the Gold Coast.)

Oh, and high speed internet rocks.
‘Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge’
‘I’m Alan Partridge’
‘Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip’
‘Heroes’
‘Entourage’
‘Torchwood’

More TV than I could safely watch - lets hope for some rainy days…

On the April 20 bandwagon.

(this is from Snopes.com)


Claim: '420' entered drug parlance as a term signifying the time to light up a joint.

Status: True.

Origins: Odd

terms sneak into our language every now and then, and this is one of the oddest. Everyone who considers himself in the know about the drug subculture has heard that '420' has something to do with illegal drug use, but when you press them, they never seem to know why, or even what the term supposedly signifies.

It's both more and less than people make it out to be. '420' began its sub-rosa linguistic career in 1971 as a bit of slang casually used by a group of high school kids at San Rafael High School in California. '420' (always pronounced "four-twenty," never "four hundred and twenty") came to be an accepted part of the argot within that group of about a dozen pot smokers, beginning as a reminder of the time they planned to meet to light up, 4:20 p.m. Keep in mind this wasn't a general call to all dope smokers everywhere to toke up at twenty past four every day; it was twelve kids who'd made a date to meet near a certain statue. It's thus incorrect to deem that '420' originated as a national or international dope-smoking time, even though the term began as a reference to a particular time of day.

These days '420' is used as a generic way of declaring one likes to use marijuana or just as a term for the substance itself. Its earliest connotation of having to do with the time a certain group of students congregated to smoke wacky tobaccy is unknown to the overwhelming majority of those who now employ the term. Indeed, most instead believe one or more of the many spurious explanations that have since grown up about this much abused short form:

• 420 is the penal code section for marijuana use in California.

  Nope. Section 420 of the California penal code refers to obstructing entry on public land. The penal codes of other states list different entries for 420, but none of them matches anything having to do with marijuana.

  However, on 1 January 2004 the Governor of California signed that state's Senate Bill 420 which regulates marijuana used for medical purposes. This bill comes years after the term '420' was associated with marijuana and indeed its number likely was chosen because of the existing pop culture connection. This is the tail wagging the dog, not the other way around.

• It's the Los Angeles or New York police radio code for marijuana smoking in progress.

  It's not the police radio code for anything, let alone that.

• It's the number of chemical compounds in marijuana.

  The number of chemical compounds in marijuana is 315, according to the folks at High Times magazine.

• April 20 is the date that Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, or Janis Joplin died.

  Though these performers were strongly identified with drug use during their brief lifetimes and the emerging drug culture after their demises, none of them kicked the bucket on April 20. Morrison died on July 3, Hendrix on September 18, and Joplin on October 4.

• The 20th of April is the best time to plant marijuana.

  There's no one "best time" -- that answer would change from one part of the country to another, or even one country to another.

• Albert Hofmann took the first deliberate LSD trip at 4:20 on 19 April 1943.

  This was indeed the case — his lab notes back this up. But this wasn't the source of "420," just an oddball coincidence. (For the pedants out there, Hofmann's first LSD trip, which was accidental, took place on 16 April 1943.)

• It's the code you send to your drug dealer's pager.

  Yeah, right. All drug dealers recognize a '420' page as "Please be waiting on the corner with my baggie of wildwood weed."

• When the Grateful Dead toured, they always stayed in Room 420.

  Untrue, says Grateful Dead Productions spokesman Dennis McNally.

Spurious etymologies and uncertain definition aside, '420' has slipped into a position of semi-respectability within the English lexicon. Various free-wheeling cities annually celebrate "hemp fests" on April 20. There's a 4:20 record label in California, and a band called 4:20. Atlanta's Sweetwater Brewing Co. sells its 420 Pale Ale in supermarkets and opens its doors to the public at 4:20 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. New York's 420 Tours sells low-cost travel packages to the Netherlands and Jamaica. Highway 420 Radio broadcasts "music for the chemically enhanced." And in 2001, the forReal.org web site of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Center for Substance Abuse Prevention put out a public service document titled, "It's 4:20 — Do You Know Where Your Teen Is?"

420s are routinely slipped into popular movies and television shows. In Fast Times at Ridgemont High the score of the football game was 42-0. Most of the clocks in Pulp Fiction are set to 4:20 (but not all — when the kid receives the watch it's set at 9:00). And there are many other instances, so keep your eyes peeled.

However, as amusing as it is to tie 420 to pot smoking and hunt for it in popular movies, the number has its dark side. Hitler was born on 20 April 1889, and the massacre of 13 victims at Columbine High School in Colorado took place on 20 April 1999.

Bum Wipes.

I'd never buy them, but...

Suzanne was given a packet of those Sorbent 'Clean and Fresh' personal toilet wipes at the supermarket. Not just a few in a sample packet, but a whole wad with a dispenser box. They must be desperate to get the public to use them.

It’s been a slow blog week, lets all pray that something else happened before I decide to comment on their usage.

Fold or scrunch?

Do they smell like those KFC moist toweletts?


To boldly go..

My Name Is Earl

Just saw the pilot episode. The two people who read this blog must MUST watch this show!

It's funny.

So Cold....

Out unit is cold. Last night I was wearing five layers of clothing on my skinny torso.

Left Of Dial

One thing I’ve been surprised about is the quality of the CD’s in the Randwick library. From past experience local library’s collections are hopelessly outdated and/or contain Abba compilations and generic ‘Hits of the 50’s’.

I was able to pick up a 4 CD box set called ‘Left Of The Dial’ that was released by Rhino records a few years back. This partial track list reads like one of James’ Rage video compilations

Anyway, this wasn’t supposed to be a record review. (I've been sworn off record reviews since grade 10 when I typed up the above mentiond James’s review of ‘Under A Blood Red Sky’ and changed all the references to Martin Luther King -MLK to ‘Milk’. Hey Bob Geldof had an argument with Maggie Thatcher about Butter, why couldn’t Bonno sing about Milk?)

While we are reminiscing, ‘The Queen Is Dead’ is 20 years old this month. The current airfreight copy of the NME* has a cover story and a fair chunk if the magazine devoted to it. Box set still on the cards for September.



*available Tuesday

Football

The Pentecostal Singaporean engineers downstairs had the TV on so loud that I didn’t really need to have the sound up at all. Even so I had the headphones on with the doona and the beer. I started to stray around the 75th minute and switched channels (you know Nate died last week and I wanted to see how the family are coping, 1 more episode to go ) although I switched back just in time.

Off to the 2006 Biennale of Sydney today to see me some art.

Emo

How did the whole Emo thing pass me by? I like to think that I know whats 'going on' and that I'm hip to the kids. But, I had no idea that there was a thing , a style, called Emo. It must ne pre-middle age setting in.

Thats Emo, not Elmo. Use the wiki.

Update next week..

....holidays for a week next week.

Update soon.

Boycat's Dad: I love Lee Remick, she's a darling

James says goodbye.

From ABC Online:

Go-Betweens frontman McLennan dies

Australian singer-songwriter Grant McLennan has died at his home in Brisbane at the age of 48.

McLennan was a founding member of the band the Go-Betweens and its website reports he has died in his sleep.

The Go-Betweens became the much heralded heroes of the Queensland music scene and songs like Bachelor Kisses and Through the Streets of Your Town became part of the musical vernacular.

The Australian Performing Rights Association (APRA) recently voted his song Cattle and Cane as one of the 10 greatest Australian songs of all time.

McLennan and Robert Forster formed the Go-Betweens while attending university in Brisbane during the Bjelke-Petersen days of the 1970s, when McLennan was arrested for participating in protests.

The band split up in 1989 and reformed in 2000 and has released nine albums.

The website says: "McLennan was a passionate supporter of the arts, extremely well-read and maintained a keen interest in all contemporary music, cinema and visual art".

"He was an exceptionally charming and polite man who endeared himself to everyone who met him and was one of the rare individuals worthy of the epithet 'larger than life'."

McLennan was raised by his mother on a cattle-station in Rockhampton, Queensland.

He is survived by his mother, sister and girlfriend Emma.

TV is my friend.

About 2 months ago Suzanne and I finally bought ourselves a digital video recorder, mainly because I got sick of having a weeks worth of VHS tapes littering the floor and Suzanne got sick of me taping over unwatched episodes of ‘Cold Case’. Think of it like the evil offspring of a VCR and home computer. Twin digital tuners mean that we can record two stations simultaneously while watching a pre-recorded show, and, recording to hard drive also means that we can do away with the 3 hour (or 6 hour on long play) ceiling on recording (who remembers to change tapes mid-week, I certainly don’t)

I distinctly remember thinking when we purchased the box that we will never fill up 40 hours of disk space, and if we do then we need to seriously re-evaluate our lifestyle.

I’ve come close to re-evaluating my lifestyle twice.

And now comes my biggest test – BB06. It’s so easy to say record 7-7.30 pm, Network 10, Mon-Fri, and quickly hit record when I’m going to bed so I can tape ‘Up Late’. (for all you on Imparja Television, Up latre is a live stream with mindless prattle from the studio, usally 11.30 to 1.30am each night).

I like that fact that I’m able to do that, as well as record any other show on a whim. For a few weeks I had ‘Secret KGB Kennedy Assassination Files’ and ‘Secret KGB UFO files’ as well as episodes of Four Corners to watch. Realistically I don’t have enough hours in the day to watch everything we record. Better to have recorded and deleted than to never have recorded at all.

Suzanne says hello

Well, It's Suzanne here. As this blog is called "The Paul and SUZANNE show I felt it was about time I actually came out. Yes I am not a figment of Paul's imagingation. It's unfortunate that I really don't have anything to say..... but I miss Brisbane and my (our) nice home....

Back to Paul

Chargrilled Doughnuts

OK, the camera was out and I felt like sharing..

Chargrilled Doughnuts.

1. The best doughnuts to use are ones that are almost a day old. None of those fancy ones from speciality shops, go for the 6 for a buck fifty variety from supermarkets.



2. Heat your char grill, but not too hot. The added sugar and oil make the doughnuts really easy to burn.


3. Now this is why we use old doughnuts. Place a plate on top of the doughnut so that it squishes down slightly. Fresh doughnuts will tend to collapse at this stage. What works best for me are freshly thawed doughnuts. (that way you can buy that pack of 12 when the Wife’s not looking and store them in the freezer). Remember, freshness isn’t really an issue, so you can use those ‘end of day red spot special’ doughnuts that you would normally need a large coffee to get through.

4. Woops, a little too hot. This batch had been thawing overnight in the fridge, so I’m still trying to find the right balance between heating through and char grilling. Don’t forget to put the plate back on top.

5. And that’s it. A nice warm, oily, crunchy doughnut.

Pril' Twenny Manifesto

OK kids, we need a manifesto.

A set of guidelines.

At least we can tell future gererations - "I was there"

Just 1 photo..

I'm at home.

I'm not working.

I need somthing to fill in the hours.

08.30

OK, slow start to the day - hey I'm on holidays- If I wasn't, we could all have 10 photos of keyboards.


The sun hitting the table..this is the only time of day the lounge sees the sun.

Lets celebrate April 20!

Camera ready, Its April 20!

I spent yesterday floating around the Sydney CBD (Opera House, Art Gallery, British Tourists) without a camera, so yesterday would have been far more pictorial day. Today’s plan is, sadly, washing clothes, watching ‘The Family Guy’ and going to the shops.

Hold on to your hats kids, this is going to get exiting!

07.30..it begins with an SMS

I’m not really up yet..This is Suzanne’s breakfast:


See ya’ll in an hour..

Filling the Blog Vacuum..

Just came back from Brisbane after a quick check on the unit, yes its still there, no the garden has gone (dam you water restrictions), and a hello to the parents in-law.

I did manage to get into some major nerding with a friend who works for the Queensland constabulary. Dropped back the first 6 issues of the Joss Whedon written X-Men miniseries (which I have had for about 6 months) and picked up the remaining issues.

Mr Kung Fu, have you read them? Seems that Joss finished reading the X-men when I did, so the story is very circa 1986. He even resurrects dead characters just to round out the ‘everything old is new again’ vibe.

Walked out with the graphic novel ‘1602’. (BTW, can you say ‘Graphic Novel’ without sounding like your in deep denial about reading comics? I read an interview with Natalie Portman which asked if she read the original ‘V For Vendetta’ She replies that she read the graphic novel. She goes on to say that it was published in ‘instalments’ in the 80’s and republished as a book in1988. She also refers to it as ‘Alan Moore’s novel’ –Bloody hell call a spade a spade. Natalie reads comics!)
Anyway, I read the big, thick, glossy, COMIC ‘Marvel 1602’. It transplants the Marvel Universe circa 1965, back 1602. Kinda cool premise, remains to be seen how its going to end.

And lastly, the complete ‘Family’ guy collection.

I have 3 weeks off after the 8th of April, guess what I am doing?

More soonish, (unless my brother shames us ‘1 post per quarter’ bloggers again)

I'm the only gay in the village..

....not likely.

Oxford street is so clean at the moment it sparkles.




But that could be the sequins.

Older Man

According to Aint it cool news, if I was on ‘SURVIVOR: EXILE ISLAND’, I would be in the ‘older man’ tribe.

Good God – middle age already.

Obscure Lyrics – I’ll give you obscure!

Ohh, Jimbo, you have problems with obscure Smiths lyrics - I can quote the track 'Hoop Skirt' from Amoeba cassette 'Wet Again'* quoting the Smiths -- 'Under the iron bridge we kissed'

Funny how my memory skips while looking over manuscripts of unpublished rhyme, the food of love is now turned to chyme.

Ahh I can remember friends poetry from 1986 but I cant remember to send my niece a birthday present, oh the inhumanity of it all.

* ‘Or was it pink and pearls’?

..its so lonely on a limb

So, Its been twenty years this month (Jan) since ‘The Queen Is Dead’ came out.

There is a great article in this months Uncut magazine with interviews with Messrs Marr, Joyce and Rourke.

I’ve kicked the Titanic obsession and am now in full Smiths fan mode – Hand me my cardigan!

But seriously, I didn’t know there where 2 different versions of ‘Boy With A Thorn In His Side’ until today.

And there will be a box set coming out this year. 9-12 minute version of 'The Queen Is Dead'

Koo Koo Ka-Choo

The BBC headline said ' Human bird flu spreads in Turkey'.

a. Its in Turkey. Cue the bad standup.
b. Is it Bird flu, or
c. Is it Human-Bird flu?

If its Human-Bird Flu than that could only mean one thing.. Koo Koo is feeling unwell.

Public Service Announcement.

Billy Bragg box set, 7 CD’s and 2 DVDs are out in February. That’s February in the states, don’t know of it has a local distributor yet. But that’s why God invented Amazon.

Apparently IRS are re-issuing some early REM albums as well. At this stage no word on how exactly, but nevertheless, save those pennies.

Cocteau Twins B-sides and singles compilation out in February as well. (Link goes to the box set, the normal release should be 2 x 2 CD's)

Lets all party like its 1986!

Welcome to the world of tomorrow..

Now that I have made a blog I feel strangely compelled not to use it. As Mr Bragg one said, the chase is always better than the kill.
