Today's Awesome Find

All the little wide-eyed ingenues trying the quirky indie thing with the weird voice? It's so thirty years ago, honey.

It was also done WAY BETTER than anyone's managed today. What a brilliant song!

God this shit is hard work.

I've made some headway on my Four painting. I have to fix his eye cause he's looking a little Christopher Walkenish. I'm just so tired and sore, but I have to keep going. I have fix it before I stop. Must must must must.

Why did I put texture on the damned scarf? It's making it IMPOSSIBLE to paint. God, I could kick myself!

ETA: I plodded on for three hours. I've hit a wall. The face is done but I can't bring myself to look at the time vortex. Fucking straight lines. I'll work on it tomorrow, when I've had rest, relaxation and a renewal of determination.

Lawrence inspires Lorenz

When I first saw this clip, I never realised what an impact it would have on my life one day:

I live my life by that. I have to.

Not for the first time - Tony Abbott scares me.

Labor has to start now. NOW. They need to get their butts in gear. Apparently Liberals are ahead in the opinion polls here in WA.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT SCARES ME!?

The thought of Tony Abbott as PM isn't just distasteful to me. It isn't just a drag or a pain or a bummer. It TERRIFIES me. This is a man that wants to take my disability benefits away. He wants to control what I can do with my reproductive system. Legislate on MY body, MY choices, MY life. This is the man that calls the regular showing of respect to our First Australians "Tokenism".

The media seems to love Abbott right now, and I'm terrified of that too. It doesn't matter how friendly he looks. It doesn't matter if he goes quad-biking or whatever the fuck, just like any other bloke.

What matters is - does he really care about this country? Considering how little he cares about Climate Change, I'd say not.

He's a cynical, rat-faced little bastard. Rudd should have called the election months ago.

Oh GOD, RUDD. OH GOD.

Carol Channing rocks.

I agree with the title of the video.
