A tribute to MJ

It’s seems only right on this day, that we further tribute wacko. It is truly and end of an era for dance moves of the 80’s and 90’s. What a guy.

It Only Takes One

Proof that it only takes one person to get the party started.

The ‘family photo’ may for some connote mutual love for their nearest and dearest. But for most, I’d say it’s a cringeworthy event, where-in at least one of the family members is quietly moaning through gritted teeth “just take the f’ing photo, mum” or sarcastically drawling “cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese…” The final product is equally cringeworthy. Sister Isabelle is half-blinking because the wind has blown a bit of hair in her eye, brother Ben has his mouth partially open, and uncle Herb is doing something odd with his hands. Cue AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com. A website that reminds us that no matter how strange you think your own family is, there are others out there who are much, much stranger.

The Brown Sketches #1

Each week, in a meeting where we discuss work both doing and to be done, I sit and draw a man. That man Is Martin Brown. Return next week. And the week after that. Get to know this mans face through my drawings. Enjoy his face. Laugh at his face. Yurn for this mans face (And also for his upper-torso as this is occasionally included).

Here is his face.

Cheese Rolling

It’s been a long time between posts, but this one is definately worth it. One hill. One wheel of cheese. A lot of reckless English folk and much hilarity.

Wetlands, mid-book review

It is not love lost here at BHN, really it’s not. I thought I’d bring it all back with a book review of Wetlands, topically. Not saturated soil, but certainly a moist area in the undergrowth. I read a profile on this cute German TV presenter Charlotte Roche, and her racy new book Wetlands a couple of months ago. It wasn’t out in Australia at the time, so I ordered it in at the local bookshop. When it came in, the bookshop lady called me to let me know that she had started reading my copy, so I’d better get down quick to pick it up. I am only 4 chapters in, but what I will say is I do feel slightly uncomfortable reading this book on the bus in the morning, and not because it is fluorescent pink with an avocado on the front. It is quite refreshingly grubby so far, but also intriguingly explicit, and even though my initial thoughts are skeptical about the age of the 18 year old protagonist, Helen, and her unabashed interest in her slippery lady fingers, I am doing a early-read book review, and will follow it up with my thoughts at the end. There aren’t enough reviews published mid-stream, but there are surely plenty of books that warrant discussion before climax - this is one.

SLAMBALL!!

I just came across Slamball. It’s novelty sport/sheer madness that combines the most highlight-reel-worthy moments of basketball, american football and ice hockey into one package. Boiled down, the game is like basketball with trampolines and violence. Watching a whole game it becomes apparent that there’s no subtlety or nuance to the game whatsoever, it’s pretty much just a whole lot of dunking, but it does make it it pretty fun to watch.
