Went to Melbourne via Canberra. Drove. Dropped by to CONFLUX very briefly to catch up with old friends mostly. Supposed to do a show there but a myriad of unforeseen factors have resulted in a cancellation. Queenie came on the ride with us…good long trip. I think tonight’s the opening night for the FIFA world cup. Will ask the guys, theory has it that (this is entirely my own) that if you have 5 guys with you, one of them’s gotta know some semblance of a sports schedule. Note: as I found, this theory cannot be applied to geekworld.

Heh. Not one of the Cool Shite on the tube guys knew – I think they were mildly proud of the fact.

See, the world cup’s always a good time to be on the look out of the strangeness of humanity. It’s also my only outlet for watching humans symbolically annihilate each other.

Back when I was a wee kid, I had a real penchant for collecting weird news cut outs, especially in the dark ages of pre- fark.com or the like, these newsbytes were hard to come by and I had a cupboard wall full of it. Mom used to complain about why I couldn’t be more like other kids and stick to that one big poster or silicon idol – at least it’d be easier to remove when I move out – I have recently heard that the offending cupboard doors had been removed.

Anyways, world cup was always harvest times for weird news. The best one was one from Spain (I think). Guy makes girlfriend stay up for world cup. GF goes to sleep mid session, guy wakes her up – time and again.

One wake
Two Wakes

The Third wake
Girl Wakes
Goes to kitchen
Grabs knife
Stabs boy
Returns to sleep on the couch
Beside Red boy.

Wakes to police.
Claims she thought she dreamt it.

I’d send Freud. But I rather send my respects…

World cup…I like what it does to human beans.
