thank god for washing machines

this morning out flight landed in perth at a quarter past one. despite how much fun exploring in bali was, i'm glad to be home.


and now, back to the real world.

it's time to get outta here

today im heading off to bali, my mums hometown, for a massive ceremony.

'there are ceremonies for every stage of balinese life but often the last ceremony (cremation) is the biggest. a balinese cremation can be an amazing, spectacular, colorful, noisy and exciting event. in fact it often takes so long to organize a cremation that years have passed since the death.

the body is carried from the burial ground to the cremation ground in a high, multi-tiered tower made of bamboo, paper, string, tinsel, silk, cloth, mirrors and flowers. at the cremation ground the body is transferred to a funeral sarcophagus; either the shape of a bull for a brahmana, a winged lion for a satria or a sort of elephant-fish for a sudra. finally up it all goes in flames: funeral tower, sarcophagus, body, the lot.' http://www.all-bali.com/culturecustoms.html

doggy doos and doggy don'ts

This morning began like every other morning ever does. after i had made my bed and cleaned up my room (as best as can be managed at 7:30 a.m.), i went outside to check on my two mongrels; princeton and tinkerbelle. following a quick but loud game of ‘fetch’ i whipped out my bright yellow doggy bags and proceeded to clean up the results of last night’s dinner (which i assure you is as unpleasant as it sounds).

as i slipped on my makeshift gloves, and crouched down into position, tinkerbelle came out of nowhere and crashed her ass fullforce into mine; the result was not pretty. elbow deep in a pile of shit, i looked up expecting to see guilt and remorse.

all the little bastard could do was laugh.

friday night was a celebration of foxtell, devoted to all the things that make tv so great; cake boss, tiny teddies and comfy pants.

my dog seemed to have misplaced her eye and capri seemed to have misplaced her pillow.

First and foremost, congratulations to Trent and Lisa for getting engaged! It's about time :)

tonight i engaged in effortless conversation over wine and salad, and enjoyed the comfort of good friends. i then ditched my icecream at the floor.
