I always wanted to decorate an aquarium with false severed fingers and glass eyeballs. I don't know if this would disturb the fish though.

I missed out yesterday on a secondhand copy of "the letters of jean rhys". I would dearly love someone to kick me, as I find it hard to reach.

Sigh

She wrote "wide sargasso sea" - her take on the mad wife in jane eyre; but her most beautiful stuff was written in paris in the 20's and 30's - "quartet", "after leaving mr Mackenzie" etc. All her mostly female characters live and love in bohemian poverty, and there's lots of whisky and bedsits.Her writing style is just beautifully simple, and I find her stuff heartbreakingly beautiful. my favourite writer

"Asterix" is good, too.

And would lulu really wear a strpey hoodie?

Yeah, Asterix is great!

You're right, she would wear a hoodie - but nothing else, though. Any excuse to show the gams

Yup, that's them. If you value your sanity, never watch the live action film version. I've only just managed to tape my personality back together - via prodigous amounts of "tin-tin" and "peanuts".

The horror, the horror...

I feel they totally missed out the underlying homo-erotic subtext, and ignored the political commentary.

And asterix was too tall.

And there were no PUNS!

And.. and... well, just everything

I'm always serious about asterix.

Once you get to know me, you'll realize I have absolutely no sense of humour.

But if you're just going to take the piss out of a giant of literature, wellllll.....

PS: I KNEW getafix was wacky for the weed...!

After a depressing start (reminders of a friend i lost) Melbourne has been great and i am sorry i'm leaving so soon. I have sent you a message and i hope this is all ok.
Well done on the op shop finds....I have been finding cool stuff at SAVERS ( the fantastic op shop department stores over here) but alas mostly not for me but for friends etc...

Hmm sorry i cant help,fish aint my forte,i to went to market over the weekend & picked up a gumby figurine & 7 inch single from an old melbourne punk band....plus lots of beer consumed..im nearly fixed now..thanx for caring hon

I know nothing of indoor plants. I have black thumb those pics are awesome

The southern end of Chapel Street, down windsor way where i used to live, is amazing. There's some very cool oppies plus an amazing selection of right on time retro shops. I called into Chapel Tattoos too and had a chat to Jane about my pirate lady and she suggested some places to look etc.. I spent hours perusing Chapel Street bazaar too and drooled over all the amazing things there but also got depressed when i thought about all the things i've left behind in op shops over the years that you can't find so easily any more but which would make for a fantastic stall like the ones i was looking at.
On my way home today i sytopped at a massive sex-shop warehouse thing near the airport called 'Sexy Land' (hehehe) and made some very exciting purchases.
You need to get to melbourne sometime and check out savers for yourself, i tells ya that place is a veritable goldmine.
