Ok...
… so on my trip I want to include a visit to Russia-land. I was too chicken to do it alone last time, but I really don’t want to miss out again.
Problem is, I’m a young lady who doesn’t speak any Russian and will probably lose some vital organs…
Is it worth doing like a 10-day guided tour thing? Will it just be idiots macking on each other whilst I try to take in...
Getting my Human Guinea Pig-ness on Today.
Sure the Government is giving out cash handouts like they were lollipops (the cheap ones that come in packs of like, 100, not Chupa-Chups), but I’ma be needing to supplement my governmental payings and wages by giving up my body to science. Money-paying, tax-free science.

…there was this show with a clown or something that lived in a caravan on an island and there were coconuts falling out of the trees and… oh I can’t explain it and I’m afraid I will never remember the name of it again… I think it was Fireman Sam/Postman Pat style animation.
charlie chalk?
OH MY GOD. You have no idea how long this has been troubling...

Trying to remember some sets off a whole array of others! Some seem pretty obscure looking back on them now (and some, admittedly, are obviously made in the 60s eg. Roger Ramjet):
Round The Twist
Blinky Bill
The Secret World Of Alex Mac
Madeline
Captain Planet
Little Lulu
MOT (couldn’t find a picture for this one, but does anyone remember it? It was about this giant purple...

Fuck
FUCK FUCK FUCKING JOURNALISM FUCK.
I WILL NEVER BE A JOURNALIST. I WILL FINISH THIS DEGREE AND THEN GO ON THE DOLE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Or maybe make use of the second part of my double degree and make lots of money…)
This was my third ELEVEN-HOUR DAY WASTE OF TIME FUCKING SHIT. But I am no longer in a newsroom/parliament/editing suite so I am going to BLISS OUT doing FUCK ALL.

Well...
The Splendour line-up is a lazy pile of fuck.
Bloc Party are playing for the THIRD TIME? It’s just going to be MGMT fans.
The second announcement is probably going to make me pissed off for not getting tickets, particularly as I actually have first dibs this year. Ugh.

What? What? Whaaaat?
Edit: Ahaha, Some children’s author/illustrator who visited our primary school (…. Moffatt? Someone Moffatt?) did this for me. In my photo I was in my Flamenco costume (I used to dance). Kids got jealous so they stole my caricature and buried it in the sandpit somewhere. I only got to admire it for about 2 hours!
