3. i am currently contemplating whether all 20 items on this list should revolve around the obvious issues i have with meme.
4. for instance i do not know how to say meme.
5. noone reads this blog, so i am confident in the knowledge that my meme fixation will go unnoticed.
6. if i stop this list now, will it be a minimeme?
7. i just visited dictionary.com and this is the result:
meme n : a cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one generation to another by nongenetic means (as by imitation); "memes are the cultrual counterpart of genes"
8. i pretty sure they misspelt cultural
9. i'm not sure how i feel about an online dictionary doing this
10. particularly one that is of so little help.
11. oh, well at least its allowed me to fill out this list a little.
13. someone at work the other day asked me the difference between a $10 pair of headphones and a $70 pair; i said "$60".
14. i went into a cafe for lunch and asked if they did takeaway, they said they did but it would be an half hour wait.
15. i asked if it would be quicker if i sat at a table
16. why the fuck would i wait half an hour for takeaway?
17. and will somebody tell me what the fuck meme means? 18. ouch!
19. gertrude stein just puched me in the mouth
20. i am currently in love...
that is all. if you are reading this, perhaps you need one of these or perhaps google brought you here, if so please leave your search term as a comment (the comment box is everso empty)
herein shortly shall contain my humble thoughts on the performance delivered by the eels with strings on friday 21 october 2005 in the austere surrounds of hamer hall. accompanied by e-freaks noddy and juztine, it was an ambitious if somewhat lacking affair which was largely unaffecting apart from the magnificent climbing up to the moon, things the grandchildren should know and the triumphant mr. e's beautiful blues.

recently, at the venerable balwyn palace cinema i chose to endure the gut-wrenching, gruelling and torturous ordeal that emerged from the mind of one nick cave (he of the boys next door, birthday party and bad seeds). his script for the proposition, helmed by john hillcoat as director (long-time music video collaborator who also directed cave in an acting role some 20 years ago in prison drama ghosts of the civil dead), was typically lyric and poetic. nonetheless, throughout one could not help shake the feeling that the film was not going to end well. and in my opinion, it only truly reached the status of an australian western in its final spoken words when the helplessness and despair of the outlaw's plight is laid bare. it is an unrelentingly taught film, featuring not just punctuated by graphic violence, and i hope to shortly use this space to further elaborate on my reaction to a disturbing, provocative piece of undeniable art. WORK IN PROGRESS
last night i witnessed an enccore performance by "lovable dorks" lawrence leung and andrew (andy) mclelland of their somewhat secret society show @ the lithuanian club main theatre (Hello LITHUANIA!!!) as part of the melbourne fringe festival. this space will shortly contain my thoughts on said event, rapturously recieved by an adoring audience, significant only because both performers are old school alumni of mine. WORK IN PROGRESS
