Ho Ho Ho.... Ho
Update: Hmmm, just went to the supermarket to get something for my last dinner before jag komma til Norge, and everyone in the queue was buying shitloads of milk. Like, 8-10 litres each. It gave me an eerie "what haven't I been told" feeling, like if everyone in town suddenly starts stocking up on tinned food and ammunition for no apparent reason... why milk?
Merry Christmas, Hanukah, Atheist Kids Get Presents Day, the Awesome and Vibratory Power of Colour, or whatever it is you all celebrate!
Tomorrow morning I fly to Norway to eat the lambs slaughtered by my new surrogate family, S-Rock and the Mellingens, and party on down with Guuurockandroll Vik, and all that entails. Wish me luck.
Not sure if I'll be on the net much until after new years, but hopefully you'll all be having too much fun to read blogs anyway.
Time to reveal the mysterious photographic experiment I hinted at in the last post. Yesterday was the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. I set my camera up on a tripod looking out my kitchen window, from which the entire path of the sun can be seen, and put it in its time-lapse mode, and let it go.
Unfortunately, due to cloud cover, most of the pictures are as dull as dogshit, but I picked out a few in which the sun is visible, which I think give some idea:
Just after sunrise (9:50):
10:30
11:50:
12:30:
12:50:
1:10 (just before sunset, unfortunately the clouds came on strong at this point)
And, as promised, a pic of my haircut. Problem areas are indicated in red:
(okay, maybe its not quite as bad as I said, but seriously, 70 bucks!)

Nice work with the solstice photos! Much witch activity, hmm?
all signs point to YES
p.s. my intention was to make a movie of the sun's movement from the sequence of images, but since the sun was only visible in a few it's not worth it. Maybe next year!
Ian - you were not exaggerating.
Jaysus, man. They butchered you.
Sorry - but it's true.
Don't worry - you are still a nice person. Beautiful on the inside and all that.
xx
Here http://christina-aguilera.lyrics-songs.com/lyrics/64334/, to cheer you up from that overly harsh post I just made.
When is Sarah getting married, btw?
Last I spoke to them: when they can afford it. There are no firm dates set yet, so I'm guessing not for a while. (Alex or someone can jump in here if there's been any more information leaked)
Beautiful on the inside?? I'm still beautiful on the outside from the neck down!
If it weren't so cold, I'd walk around completely nude, but with a paper bag over my head. That'll teach the swedes about overpriced shonky haircuts!
Christina's song has nice sentiments, as always, but I think she should have asked old faithful Jack Handy to collaborate on a verse:
Sometimes the beauty of the world is so overwhelming, I just want to throw back my head and gargle. Just gargle and gargle, and I don't care who hears me, because I am beautiful.
It was actually written by linda Perry of 4 Non-blondes fame, so there you go.
I am thinking of starting a witches coven/Scratch DJ co-operative, called Wikka-T-Whack.
What do you think?
Sounds wicked! (ergh) but you won't be able to play any outdoor festivals. If it rains, you'll all melt!
Was linda perry the one who wore the rediculous hats? maybe you could ask her to design massive umbrella hats for your coven/dj troupe. You shouldn't underestimate the power of festivals to expand your fanbase!
xox
actually, no design needed
hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhha
I have tears.
And also, a business plan for my new music act.
are you sure you can afford to upgrade to the "hands free" method of keeping dry at this early stage???
I have several high profile financial backers.
My bet re: milk is eggnog. It's a sportsman's bet though.
That's a good guess, I hadn't thought of that.
If so, with the quantities I saw, a lot of swedes are gonna feel hella shabby on boxing day!
My guess is that the milk is going to be used to ruin some otherwise perfectly useful blonde chicks. For shame.
No, you were right - it is as bad as you said! ;-)
on sarah's wedding: no date is planned. they want to buy somewhere to live first - they're looking at around april next year for that.
on ian's haircut: and i thought i'd seen your hair at it's worst....
enjoy your christmas in norway!
well I guess the votes are in, it is as bad as I thought... one advantage of living in climate that requires a lot of beanie wearing, I guess.
Alex: there is no lower bound, but there are many local minima.
Cok: If so, I think the UN should intervene!
Well, I'm off to Norway now!
Merry Christmas all!
xo
You probably won't hear from me again until... at least a couple of hours from now, when I'll be sitting bored in a transit lounge waiting for one of my three flights to go approximately the distance from Sydney to Melbourne.
p.s. K - I just read that one of my cousins has a mysterious new job working as a PA for a rapper from LA who remains nameless at this point*, so if W-T-W need any help in that department....
* - Not sure if its for real or not. Jane: this would be a great opportunity for you to overcome your fears and post your inaugural comment!
WTW don't need no help, from no bitch.
Yeah!
