Shouts From Down Under

Bookness thinking.

It occurred to me that my blog entries must seem so scattered and strange at times. Ok, maybe always. Am I defending laziness and disorganisation? Is this muddle something that might help someone else to change, modify, invent, engage, fertilise, stimulate, their thinking. Will it do all those things for their imagination.

Do I let my mind take me where it will, fiddle around with the days / weeks events and experiences and then build something out of what's left in the flour sifter?

Australian words are emptying out of my head, falling in an arc of shared consciousness, with a wet smack sound onto the MSI keyboard, to be poked into the quertyuiop buttons and SUBMITted into this web-log entry. You can now have the quiet pleasure of digesting something foreign.
If you are Australian, well shutup ya whingin' and go back to yer barbecued prawns and kangaroo patting. You already know this stuff and don't need edumacating on the finest under the southern cross.

Other Australian food from that country down under the butt of the world, where us unfortunate and hapless folks hang upside down. We wear thongs. On both feet. All the family wear thongs, when we feel HOT. Yep. Carl Barron joke material.

Thongs=footware in Aussie land.
Thongs=G-Strings in USA and other locations I guess.

In Australia, we don't call it, or them, candy. They are prrrretty much known around the traps, as lollies. Sweets. Treats. But mostly Lollies.

If you want to buy red skittles by the kilo / lb or just green jelly beans, well, in a nutshell, frankly, right now, without delay, immediately, without further ado, moving along, stifling the waffling, you can.

"Turn out the lights, paint the windows, and dilate your eyes. It’s time to embrace the inky abyss of darkest candy black. Don’t be afraid. Unlike the kind you put in your fancy burritos, these black beans are a sugary black licorice treat -– and they allow you to look into the very deepest depths of your soul. Blow out those candles and become a denizen of the dark with a case of Jelly Belly Black Licorice Jelly Beans"

In our country, you can "do your lolly".

Click the audio speaker symbol on this link and there's a definition there too. It's the temper one. Doing your lolly is losing your cool.

Ever wondered how to check if the fancy dancy new name you thought up for social media, youtube, facebook etc etc is available?

And so, thinking of all the stuff I think, as I said before, here's a question I asked Google just now, and also asked my long-suffering wife.

What is the difference between sieve and sift?

Another question running through my mind was; Can I buy some land in Antarctica?

I mean, yes, you would, if you used common sense, assume that nobody would want to go live there unless for scientific reasons, or gold, or oil, or political reasons and perhaps all those add up to the same thing. For status perhaps?

But wait. Why shouldn't we be able to go live where ever we please, if we had the means to live there safely, to not damage the environment, and not harm others?

In all seriousness, I have no desire to go there at all, much less to live. A couple of looks at Davis Station webcams is enough for me.

But for the sake of interest and thinking and writing and plots and just stupidity and enjoying peoples' weirdness and clever comments;

Thinking shakes hands with writing. Reading shoulders the responsibility of the writing. The spoken word is arrows shot from mouths or hands to another across space and time. Colour shakes salt and pepper on the literary meal. Film pours on the sauce.
