Rainy Days and Mondays  Since I always sleep until about noon on Sundays, I tend to be a complete insomniac on Sunday nights. The book on tape just keeps droning on until about 4:00 in the morning, and I end up wrapping one of my shirts around my head to keep the light out. So, by the time I get up, I am really excited about listening to the new Donnas album again. I plug the ipod into my Powerbook, and BAM, Powerbook crashes. ...I've tried about eight times to start the thing to no avail. I feel like I have a sick pet. Pray for my baby...
___ Happy Halloween!!! I apologize to anyone who has already heard this story, but anyway... I called Dominos to order a Pizza for pick up last night (the store is right on Bondi Road, and I can walk over in my PJ's) and couldn't understand a word the dude on the phone was saying. "Do you have any vouchers?" came out, "Doofa goodooo boooers?" Since I know the whole routine by heart, I just repeated, "One Meatasaurus Maniac" over and over until he figured it out. I expressed my concern with my flatmate, but he said, something on the lines of, "The poor guy is probably 30 making $8 an hour, what do you expect".... So, I go to pick up the pizza, and there are two kids in "Scream" masks saying, "Trick or Treat" repeatedly. The man who took my pizza order has obviously never experienced Halloween before, and seems to be slightly mentally handicapped. He looks like he is about to have a nervous breakdown, and keeps repeating back to the kids, "$3.95..." I tried to intervene, and finally realized that he thought they were saying "Chicken Strips," which were on special. Finally the kids grew frustrated and left, with a very naughty outburst that I will not repeat. I tried to explain what the "Trick or Treat" thing was all about, but the guy just thought I was asking about the strips, and probably wondered what the hell their were so many chicken enquiries. ___  Who would have thunk performing pony Kasey Chambers' marriage would end. What will her little one do. I guess the bright side is it may lead to a brooding album. The last one was a bit to chipper. I have had several suggestions that the alt.country crooner is my perfect match. Kasey, my Risotto is said to do wonders for heartbreak... give me a shout.
___ Tomorrow is my favourite day in Australia, Melbourne Cup. Me thinks the festivities will start around noon when we head to the Paragon Hotel, which traditionally offers a free mystery trifecta bet with every schooner of Carlton Draft. I have already spent $20 on pools, but will probably allow myself another hundo or so tomorrow for the big race. I haven't done to well on the cup in the last couple of years, but back in 2000 I won nearly a grand on Brew. Last year's winner, Makybe Diva is running again (a horse hasn't won back to back cups since 1974), but much of the talk is based around previous winner Media Puzzle's stablemate, Vinnie Roe, of the Emerald Isle. Vinnie, however, has issues with a firm track and may not be up for the start. Good luck Punters, 'til tomorrow...
