The amount of money I spend on petrol due to freaking out must be enormous. Whenever something goes wrong I have no idea what to do so I just drive. Driving seems like I am being productive, even if I have no destination in mind. This is where I ended up today. However, rather than take the direct route I took every C road and dirt track I could find. It was incredibly ridiculous and time consuming. Then when I got to Lakes Entrance I decided to get some shitbox motel room for $50 and stay the night down there. I had a shower to freshen up, but then started to freak again because I was stationary and so drove back home. It’s midnight, and I just got in. Unfortunately, things are worse than when I left. Resisting the urge to get back in the car.

Bought a few books in Delhi on the weekend. As it was the end of Eid a lot of bookstores weren’t open on Saturday, so didn’t get to go completely crazy. Happy with what I got though.

“Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately grabbed national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly: “If only I had teeth down there”. Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper. Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed. When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers responded tersely: “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

“When anesthesia was developed, it was for many decades withheld from women giving birth, since women were “supposed” to suffer. One of the few societies to take a contrary view was the Huichol tribe in Mexico. The Huichol believed that the pain of childbirth should be shared, so the mother would hold on to a string tied to her husband’s testicles. With each painful contraction, she would give the string a yank so that the man could share the burden”

In Singapore. All those years of poor fathering have totally paid off with my dad’s platinum frequent flyer card. They just let you just come in here and make your own drinks. And it’s free! It seems the richer you are the freer everything gets. I had no idea! It’s totally insane.

Fresh and Clean

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:05:00 +1100

So I’m in the process of doing a big clean-up of my room. My room is usually very clean, I’m a tidy guy, but as my grandma used to say “If you think that can’t get any cleaner you’re a fucking idiot”. You see, I’m going to India tomorrow and my friend Eija is going to stay in my room while I’m away and it would be impolite of me to leave my room anything but impeccable for her. Plus, to be frank, I’m looking to impress her as she is totally awesome and super pretty. Despite evidence to the contrary I’m still of the belief that girls like clean guys. It’s actually a bit of a thing of mine, rather than exhibit traits that I know girls will like, I instead attempt mould myself into the type of guy girls should like. But regardless of any ulterior motives, it’s nice to have a clean room. Everything seems so much more at ease and organised with a clean room. The state of one’s room could be said to mirror the state of one’s mind. Which is all the more apt seeming for the next couple of weeks mine will be occupied by a cute Swedish girl.

Paranoid Rant #5

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:51:06 +1100

I hate rock stars so much. Dudes in bands are the worst dudes in the world. They think they have this sexy entitlement to have any girl they like. They don’t care if someone else has invested a lot of time and effort into wooing a young lady. They just walk in and take her. It makes me sick! The fact is 83% of dudes in bands are only in bands because of the free sex. They don’t actually like music, they just strap on a guitar because they know it comes with a lifetime supply of blowjobs. I propose that any dude wishing to be in a band be castrated. You can choose music or your penis, but you can’t have both.

Graze - Animal Collective

Opening track from the new Animal Collective EP, Fall Be Kind. From beginning as an emotive and lush space-ballad, the song flips out into what I can only describe as some weird-ass pan-pipe led hootenanny. Your move, everyone else.
