I had a nice weekend 
I went to the Royal Adelaide Show with Plain_Jane (thankyou gorgeous lady!) and we had a good time buying socks (stripey knee highs!) a Happy Tree Friends tee for my son, watching the tent-pegging and looking at dogs cats and BUNNY RABBITS!!
We did plan on going on the Ferris Wheel...but I chickened because I had nightmarish visions of the carriages snapping off and crashing to the ground (just like in that episode of Carnivale...damn that show!) so we went on ride called the Rockin Tug. It was fuckin' rockin'. If you want a good time just make sure you get Captain Lachlan...
We also saw a Russian Cossack rider perform some pretty darned good tricks on horseback. I love performers like him, it's probably a dying art and we're lucky enough to see it.
We also ate felafel, yoghurt and fruit leather
This photo says everything that I love about the show (in particular, please focus your sights on the very rotund elderly gent being pulled in a cart by a bratty little pony).
I caught the tram home and overhead a very interesting conversation between a lady who had come over from America to compete in the woodchopping events and one of the judges. I could see all of the lights from the show grounds and it was a beautiful warm night
Also, it is now alright to like Matt Goss again because of this:
When I was 11 or 12, I bloody loved Bros. I had posters all over every square inch of my bedroom. I wrote letters to Countdown magazine (or "Smash Hits" or some crap) about how they were better even than INXS. I was obsessed. I wanted to marry all three of them. For English class, I wrote a story about meeting them and because it was a bit daggy even then to admit to liking Bros, I bludged school for two days because I was so fucking terrified that I would have to read it out loud to the class (oh cringe
)
But now he's in Hellboy 2, I strongly feel that it is alright to like Bros again.
Did you know that at one time, Craig Logan (the ugly Bros...y'know, Logan the Bogan) was engaged to Danny Minogue.
I bought this from an op shop last week for a staggeringly low $4 (I love touristy Islander art)

But as Lexiphanic said, as one door closes another opens... and that life path was obviously not meant for me (at least now!)
