Projects
I've realised that Spod - the Sydney band - doesn't have a Wikipedia article, but does have a reference in an article about a technical term "spod". So I'm going to write one for them.
Also, I have a fat-arse essay I'm writing about public reaction in Australia to criticism, dissent and unpopular opinions. It focuses mostly on Germaine Greer and Sheik Hilali as case studies. Yeah, I know, boring for everyone else but me. It's more a writing exercise for my own amusement. I'm also doing a shorter and less researched piece on the right-wing conservative euphemism of "pro-family".
Add to that I have 3 books to read right now: The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson and Philosophy for DummiesTM. And I've just sent us broke (almost literally) by buying up some beads & elastics for making bracelets.
Other "exciting" stuff I'm planning:
- Finding good bushwalking tracks (mostly for cooler weather though, I would get heat stroke if I went bushwalking on day like today (it's 27oC / 80.6oF now but feels hotter, check the current temperature in Sydney here)
- Thinking up and researching more essay topics
- Getting the Palex a toy box
- Lacquering his easel so he can do fingerpainting and drawing outside on the balcony
- Finding a nice big cheap outdoor table for our balcony (it's a big wide balcony, more like a terrace I guess)
- Organising and throwing out and selling stuff so we have more room
- Fixing my typewriters and getting back into letter-writing
- Trying to figure out where I can study when I start TAFE... if I get in...
Oh well. Keeping me occupied is very important for making sure I don't get too neurotic and annoying. If I always have something to do then I won't go craaaaaaazy.
Jesus. This is the worst blog entry ever.
Meh. I don't care.
