Funny misunderstanding due to crackly line at work moment of the day - customer rings in, I hear Rina Scorcese (perhaps a lawyer's firm?), and on further investigation of the account, realise it is Rheem Australia LOL. Customer one, Pauly nil :)
You know what, I realised earlier today that with all the upgrading of this blog site, that, with a few more additions and changes, this place is actually a good home page for me. It has everything I need, all in one place (now why else did I put all my favourite websites to the side LOL, because I am popular and the BBC and Guardian need more readers? Yeah right LOL), even the Brisbane weather and such. And how long has it taken me to discover this, about two months of blog remodelling perhaps? Blog one, Pauly nil...
Hmm, even though I am getting inured (if I have used the right word) to the disaster that is Iraq, it still makes me sad when the news of the violence over there filters through. And, sad to say, Westerners dying over there makes more impact on me than Iraqis - must remedy that inbuilt racism or whatever it is. If anyone has been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I am very much a one person is equal to any other person thing, so reading of five American deaths today shouldn't affect me any more than the thirty five Iraqis reported dead yesterday. But it does, and that annoys me for some reason.
And for some unknown reason, Australia as a country continues to be extremely lucky out of this whole Iraq thing. No soldiers dead over there, well apart from one Australian who was seconded to the British RAF, and yesterday hostage Douglas Wood surviving the captivity and rescue (how many times have we seen hostage situations go horribly wrong, Beslan anyone?), and with Howard in Canberra being able to say we don't negotiate, we don't pay ransoms. Congratulations all around to everyone involved, but all I can think is lucky, lucky, lucky...
Hmm, I can't seem to get into the latest series of Amazing Race (the one with Rob and Amber from Survivor in it) as much as I did last series. I dunno what it is, I'm just too easily distracted, or there isn't anyone I like in it, or, alternately, no one I am interested in watching even if they are bastards LOL - for any North Americans who might be a bit ahead of us, indeed if the season has actually finished or something, tonight they are in safari country, whether Botswana or Kenya or whatever, I'm not sure. Giraffes running, and elephants passing by and all, very pretty...
Maybe a bit more in a bit :)
