You know that feeling when you're waiting for an important phone call, and you don't want to get caught up doing anything else in case you're distracted when it comes through, so you pace around and doodle on bits of paper and file your nails? No? Well, I do, and today I found myself scribbling instead of doodling.

This is something I wrote in response to ReLoaded, which was itself a multimedia reponse to Christos Tsolkias' Loaded, which is of course now the movie 'Head On'.

Diet Fiction. Not because they're owned by multinationals hidden behind friendly names like 'Jennie' and 'Gloria', but because they're not as big or filling as the rest of this crap.: 1.3.99 Nice things scare me.
28.12.98 All that fuss for a bit of skin. This one has no punchline.
15.12.98 One day I'm gonna be a regular in a swish cafe.
It's not retro!
In bed with a madonna.
Oooh, scary - one about love.
Thank God, Girls Aren't Visual.
A passionate, sensuous story about waking up to the woman I love...
I walk the streets at night.

This is a list of words I think we should all learn and use everyday:

outdoof: a doof in the bush (outdoors, thus, outdoof). An accidental coining, but I like it.
modig and medugal: really quite old phrase that means 'fired up with insolence and wine'. This handy little go-anywhere phrase can be used at the footy, in a late Parliamentry sitting or at your next dinner party.
Thanks to Frank Devine's column in Review, The Weekend Australian, May 8-9, 1999.
immoral tortilla makers: Or 'tortilleras' in the common parlance. According to Rex Wockner (INTERNATIONAL NEWS #260 - Apr 19, 1999), it was among the phrases yelled by police and neighbors who were harassing Buenos Aires' La Fulana Feminist Community Center for Women Who Love Women. Personally, I would have thought that 'immoral taco makers' would make more sense, but who am I to judge those of sub-intelligence?
7ev: The 7-11, the Quix, the generic late-night food and petrol store, and second home to underage scozs.
Dry-on: As in, 'She gives me a dry-on'. What men think of as a 'soft-on'.

The list will grow as I remember more words that we should all learn and use everyday. Or make them up. Whatever. Like, hi ok?
