I'm at home sick with a most excellent mix of flu-ish aches and tearful anxiety. In this goddamn 33 degree heat the goddamn fan cannot turn quickly enough. I'd leave bed but I don't want to remove myself from the reach of the fan's blast so I'm relying upon the internet to provide this afternoon's entertainment.

1. me as an old lady


2. me in a poorly lit room


3. me made out of suede


4. me in V for Vedetta, if the viewer had very poor eyesight.

Christmas 2011 was just wonderful. Photos will be posted soon; I need to spend a bit of time weeding out the duds and separate the pictures where I look really great. Authenticity is for dorks.

Last night I watched a Foxtel reality program called 'Dance Moms' followed by a Kardashian show. Is it possible to Dettol wash your brain?
