For all Australians that is 'STRAK-AN', god knows where you get 'STRAWN' from...
It was nice to see that Dalziel & Pascoe meant that all the Dalziels in Australia at last learned how to pronounce their own bloody name!
Another aside to the Aussies reading this.
If you ever wondered why Sir Robert Menzies was called 'The Big Ming'. It is because the correct pronunciation of Menzies is 'MING-IS'!!!

The best cat in the world who has accompanied me from pillar to post these past 5 or 6 years.
Originally found as a wild kitten across the road from where my kids lived, she is very much a one person cat, but she knows ALL my secrets!
Named Jade for her green eyes and is overall just SO damn beautiful.

Varg Vikernes released from prison

Varg Vikernes (Burzum) has confirmed in the Norwegian paper 'Dagbladet' that he was released from prison a couple of weeks ago.
Vikernes had served nearly 16 years for the murder of 'black-metal' bandmate Øystein Aarseth (aka Euronymous from the band Mayhem.)

Inspirations

Kathy Acker

Kathy Acker interviews William S. Burroughs (c. late 80's)

The late, great Kathy Acker interviews the late, great William S. Burroughs.
Alongside the late, great J.G. Ballard they were to me the holy trinity of "writers/artists/observers who understood our evolving modern world (and its dark, deep gutsy soul) far better than most." *
"They talk about many things: Word as Virus, Scientology, Jesus and the legion of apocryphal stories that followed Burroughs around like carrion crows. This took place in the late ’80s, and both had less than a decade to live, passing away within a few months of each other in 1997. We will not see their like again."**

Mindless Musings in the Mundane

May I draw your attention to this blog.
'anothernic' has commented at this blog before but it took me a while to work out that I knew him from elsewhere.
We are both members of a group that discusses anything and everything but that usually involves cheese, beer, dope and the GOGD.
No - that is not true anything can be discussed there as the current thread of why we want to be lesbians (in the manner of Loudon Wainwright (and note that is not L-U-D-I-N- W-E-I-N-R-I-G-H-T) will attest.
