I'm watching a final dress rehearsal of a Junior College production of Sweet Charity. Yes, the cry of psychic anguish you just heard was from me.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ok, this is weird. I received a letter in the mail today. It's inviting me to vote in a selection primary for the Australian Labor Party's candidate at the next State election for the seat of Kilsyth. Now, that's unusual to begin with. We don't have primaries for the most part, the party membership (more like active party members than registered voters with a party affiliation) tends to choose the candidate for a given seat. I think this is a good move, the primary system is one area I think you guys have it better. (Some of the details can get a bit hinky, but the principle seems sound.)
No, what threw me is that one of the candidates is a guy I went to Uni with. We were both in the ANU Debating Society. (He represented the ANU at the World University Debating Championships and was voted best speaker, one of at least three debaters active in the club when I was there who achieved that honour in one year or another. The ANU was a very strong debating uni.) He went on to complete a PhD at Yale, and has worked for the US Federal Reserve and the World Bank.
The point of all this is, I knew him in Canberra a couple of decades ago. Now apparently we're both living in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

People in the alley behind my building are being ridiculously loud tonight. One girl with a really loud annoying laugh seems to find everything hysterical.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It really is. I mean, the guy's CV makes pretty clear he's been something of a high flyer. I don't really live in the high flying part of town here - most of my neighbours are tradies. Running into him was unexpected.
