Plug Away

Thanks to everyone who took the time out to vote for Meredith in the Rockstar Thingie, and a special thanks to the Thigh Master, for giving her a shout out. The announcement of the final two should come out on Wednesday. I'll keep you posted, kids.

It was a fantastic weekend here in Oz. I spent Saturday doing some shopping with the Konk. While we were originally thought we were quite cool, since all the salesgirls on Oxford street were giggling at us, we later realized that it was because they thought we were a couple Queens spending a lovely Saturday together. When a particularly nice young blonde was wrapping up my new Ben Sherman polo shirt, she said, "So what are you guys up to tonight?" I replied in my not so masculine American accent "Going out to dinner at the Victorian Room." For some reason I don't think she was looking for a date.

The Victorian Room for Cyn's birthday was quite fun. If your looking for somewhere to have a large group for cocktails and tappas, and you don't mind spending about a hundo each, it's a great place to go. The atmosphere is, well, Victorian, and the wait staff is accommodating, friendly and relaxed. And they didn't seem to offended that Cyn decided to pretend the BUTT PLUGS she received for her birthday were ice cream treats.

The next morning (afternoon) was a bit of a drag. Screw all the other remedies, there's nothing like double digit ASS references on the O.C. to help cure a hangover (or at least making it a bit more bearable). Rachel Bilson saying ass-hat is somehow almost as erotic as that Kelly McGillis make out scene in Top-Gun. Add to that a little Pixies circa Doolittle, and you've got the O.C. back to the basics (with plenty of season one references, and no contrived girl on girl action).

Bullets:

Congrats to DOV restaurant in Darlinghurst, not only on the newly appointed liquor license, but for the lovely mention in the Sydney Morning Herald's "Short Black".

Also mentioned in Short Black, the sad fact that Religion affiliated Sanitarium has the audacity to claim it owns the copyright on the word "Granola" and seek to prohibit others from using it. Have they not watched "The Corporation".

Snow Patrol have fired their bassist. He seems to have the same "I don't know what I did wrong" attitude that I do the morning after too many rums.

I can't even begin to explain this story to Stateside folk... Let's just pretend it's Lindsay and Caleb, and the DNA test didn't work out in their favour. Oh.... and that he was a politician rather than a corrupt developer, um, and she was a guy, and Ryan and Seth weren't involved, oh you get the picture...
