What Tarot Card are You?


You are The Magician


Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.


Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.


The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

Firefighters fight bondage centre blaze

Here is a news story from the Sydney Morning Herald on the 23rd of May. Very funny indeed.



Fire has whipped through a room in a bondage and discipline centre, causing about $100,000 damage.

Metropolitan Fire Brigade crews were called to The Correction Centre in Fitzroy, Melbourne, shortly after 10.15pm yesterday.

They contained the fire to a room on the first floor of the two-storey building.

No one was injured but much of the upper level was damaged by heat and smoke.

The fire was under control in about 30 minutes, Acting Commander Ala McLean told Southern Cross radio.

"It was fairly quickly controlled. It was a small fire. Once they gained access into the first-floor area it was reasonably quickly extinguished," Mr McLean said.

A candle is thought to be the cause of the fire.

The Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services board said: "MBF firefighters were tied up for some time but disciplined and controlled firefighting contained the blaze to one room on the second floor of the two storey building."

Two weeks of ??

Evening one and all, yes I am still alive and here I post......

Been a very busy couple of weeks since I last posted anything of import and with the Guvnor on his way to Bathurst for work, I find myself with some time to sit down and hopefully write something meaningfull. If that fails, then I will just prattle on as I normally do.

The biggest news is that I finally worked up the courage to start a Drama Course. Started two weeks ago, every Tuesday night for 4 hours and runs for 10 weeks with the Darlinghurst Theatre. Been a lot of fun so far, though a little nervous about the last night....that's when we have to get up on stage at the Theatre and do a monologue in front of friends and family...eeeek Though I am hoping that by then my confidence will be higher and I will have learnt what I need to not make a complete fool of myself.

The Guvnor and I went along to our first outing to the BSB last Sunday afternoon with the gorgeous Superchilled and the Frenchman, The Patient Man, Much Ado About Monty, and finally got to meet Aussielicious. Was a lovely afternoon and the coffee was good, though I am led to believe that their Hot chocolate is to to go crazy over, so I shall have to try one of those next time.

Superchilled's race around the world has been alot of fun and I narrowly missed out on winning the last leg by a huge margin of 2 minutes.....argghhh.....lol Well done on that one Peter.

As much fun as taking part in these little adventures is, I am not sure I am up to Aussilicious's latest task, that of nude phototaking in compromising locations.......though certainly looking forward to seing the entries.....lol

Came across this pic a while ago and loved it, so thought I would share:



The latest word of the week word have to be this:

sapid \SAP-id\, adjective:

1. Having taste or flavor, especially having a strong pleasant flavor.
2. Agreeable to the mind; to one's liking.

I've raved about the elegant and earthy lobster-and-truffle sausage, the sapid sea bass with coarse salt poached in lobster oil, and the indescribably complex and delectable ballottine of lamb stuffed with ground veal, sweet-breads and truffles.
-- James Villas, "Why Taillevent thrives", Town & Country, March 1, 1998

The last theatrical outing, aside from the Drama course, was to go along to the Mosman RSL and see an amature production of Bat Boy the musical by the Mosman Cinema Arts. I must say that it would have to be the best Amature production I have seen in a long time. Very funny and musically apt. Well worth seeing if anyone is in the mood.

Well that will have to do for now as it is past time I was heading off to bed......I will endeavour to post more frequently in future and prattle on about something else.

Madonna Vs. The Eurythmics - Another Sweet Dream Dies

Now Im not one to usually like remixes, especially any featuring my fav singers. This one is one of those exceptions. Who would have ever thought that these two would sound so good together. The video is well done as well.

Doll Face

Wow.....see what happens when we try to be what we see on tv!!.....a great video.

Chris Evans!!!

To celebrate the appearance of Chris Evans in Sydney last night I shall put up a couple of my favourite pics of him. As for you Monty and The Patient Man who got to see him last night...........pftftftftftftfttftftftft, i hate you for at least the next 5 minutes....



Word of the Week Wednesday

termagant \TUR-muh-guhnt\, noun:

1. A scolding, nagging, bad-tempered woman; a shrew.
2. Overbearing; shrewish; scolding.

The termagant who had dragged him out on long, boring walks, who had tried in vain to censor his reading, who had labelled him an impious liar and criminal, was dead at last, and the boy, hearing a servant say 'she has passed away', sank to his knees on the kitchen floor to thank God for so great a deliverance.
-- Jonathan Keates, Stendhal

--------------------------------------------------

Wednesday nights I have been hooked into watching Heroes, I must say from a less than impressive beginning, the show has really started to come along in it's pace and the characters are now starting to have a bit of depth.

Last night's episode was one of the best i thought, much more into understanding who these people are and where they came from.

I must say I have not been as excited about a tv show since the last series of Dr Who. Now thats a show I am hoping we get again soon. Apparantly they had trouble with getting the rights for the third episode.. Though after just finding out that none other then our Kylie Minogue will be appearing in this years Dr Who Christmas special as a female cyberman, or is that cyber women? or cyber person?...hmmm I'll leave that one to the experts. Needless to say it will interesting to see it come December, but then again we havn't even seen last years Christmas special. Sigh!!!

-------------------------------------------------

I just had to post this pic when I came accross it today. My apologies for those who dont like looking at wilies......

Temptation Tuesday

Another Tuesday has crept up on me already. The day's just seem to be flying by lately. All feeling very weird to be honest, I have been feeling quite 'out of it' for a while now. Must be an early mid life crisis I think.....I feel life is going by too fast and Im always playing catch up at the moment. May be I just need a good holiday, and speaking of such I am having a sort of mini holiday this weekend. Flying to Hobart on Saturday afternoon an not coming back till Tuesday, so that should be a good time to rest and recoup. Im not planning on doing anything but spa bath's, shopping, reading and of course one cannot go to Hobart without visiting the Chocolate factory.

------------------------------------------------------

OK, time for the temptation part of Tuesday.......who shall the lucky one be this week?

None other then Josh Wald........yummmm
