Okay, here are the rules. Post three urls to recent web sites that a) you like b) you discovered recently and c) are pretty unusual but fun. They can be anything from erotica to exercise machine sales, from theology to Theo Kojak fan sites. Post them as a reply here and also put them on your LJ with this paragraph attached.

  • 23:08 @angriest Friends don't let friends watch Friends, either. #

  • 10:10 Playing around with Ubuntu. There are times when Windoze pisses me off. If not for using itunes for 'casts, I'd ditch it. #
  • 12:43 In Castlemaine @ Caffe Prato waiting for a ploughman's lunch with Sal, then Chewton Farmers Market. #
  • 12:59 The ploughman's lunch @ Caffe Prato is gr8. Smoked beef, salami, pate, cheeses, caramellised onion, etc. Very yummy. #
  • 19:46 In some digestive distress but still going to record the podcast tomorrow, even if I have to do it in ten or twenty minute increments. #
  • 21:27 @Krasnostein You're right ;-) #
  • 22:32 @Krasnostein I asked the same thing the night I lost my virginity ;-) #
  • 22:44 @Krasnostein Really? #
  • 08:02 @Krasnostein Fair enough. #
  • 08:03 Having my new favourite brekkie again. Swiss brown mushrooms on a griller-warmed panini. Costs less than a bad drive-thru meal, but superb! #
  • 08:13 Time for a couple of espresso shots, then some soundbyte editing for the podcast. #
  • 08:29 More child abuse (aided by the family court) by religious nutters. bit.ly/xOzMN #

  • 12:30 @angriest Is never convicted the same thing as didn't do it? #
  • 12:32 @angriest Nope woke in a world where music means more than the welfare of children #
  • 13:45 Reality check popstar with addiction to booze & prescription drugs and sleeping with little boys dies. Now back 2 Iran. #
  • 13:51 Hmm can see Andrew Hansen writing a new verse to the Eulogy Song #chasers #
  • 16:09 @BillSchulz Totally agree re MJ. Some may consider you a clown on Fox News, but I do not. #
  • 17:10 RT @BillSchulz I have many friends who hd a much worse upbringng than MJ. They didn't invite kids over for sleepovers in their adulthood. #
  • 20:31 The Spierig Brothers' new movie Daybreakers looks interesting. Trailer here. bit.ly/WFHpW #movies #
  • 21:36 Watching F For Fake. Tired of a certain wealthy man who used a fucked up childhood as an excuse to fuck up the childhoods of others. #

  • 21:49 @douglaswaltz Happy birthday. Have a lot more, too. #
  • 22:21 @douglaswaltz Because watching Trans2 is like being a bug on the bumper of two cars that collide head on at 200 kph. #
  • 08:24 Michael Jackson dead? The children of the World are just that little bit safer now. #
  • 08:59 Since when was music more important than whether someone abuses children or not? #michaeljackson #
  • 10:03 @CinemaslaveJoe I think he wasn't convicted because your legal system favours the wealthy. #

  • 21:26 I just realised that because it was produced in 1980, Caddyshack just slides into Paleo-Cinema territory. Hmmm comedy podcast soon...maybe #

  • 15:46 @DavidMunn The odd thing with i-tunes is that there are reviews of Paleo-Cinema I can't see 'coz I can only log in to the Aus i-tunes store. #
  • 18:06 @DavidMunn Looks like I might have to do some deep googling to find out how to read those reviews... after dinner, perhaps. Thanx. #
  • 19:53 @Krasnostein There are rules? #
  • 19:54 @Krasnostein not rules, just guidelines and traditions. #
  • 19:56 @Krasnostein Just remember, hucksters are there for the fans, not fans for the hucksters. #
  • 20:09 @Krasnostein Maybe a few drug dealers, a couple of pimps and a DVD seller in the hucksters rooms? #
  • 20:30 About to watch Dean Martin in The Silencers on Ovation. Ahhh an evening of bad spy movie ahead. #
  • 20:32 Oops not Ovation. ABC2... Can-Can is on Ovation. #
  • 20:33 Any spy movie that starts with 1960s striptease ain't bad. It also has Daliah Lavi, Cyd Charisse and Stella Stevens in it. #
