Things that weren't so good today: reading that Dutton wants, in the context of a suspect being interviewed by ASIO, the right for removal of a lawyer who is 'unduly disruptive' during questioning. Does he mean a lawyer who is acting in the interests of his or her client? Who deems what is 'unduly disruptive', anyway? Next stop: Police State.
Things that are good: Alan Jones' retirement from 2GB. I guess all the nasty spiteful vitriol concerning any woman in a powerful role and inciting race riots finally caught up with the misogynistic little venom-sac.
Things that are also good: I had a huge belly laugh at my fifteen-year-old's joke tonight. The joke wasn't especially funny, in fact it was rather silly, but he delivered it in such a funny way, and I daresay the tension and anxiety relating to the heightened 'Rona situation we're all in finally spilled over. Indeed, it's been simmering beneath my surface like bubbling magma, but tonight it erupted in the form of a fit of laughter, and it felt good. The fruit of my womb is returning to school tomorrow, for the first time in weeks, and he's looking forward to it. It's only Year Ten attending tomorrow, and he's delighted to be catching up with his mates in person.
Things that are meh: my Facebook group is having a theme today wherein we post songs that make us cringe or puke. Here are some of what's on offer:
1. Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters & Collectors. Hey, guys! I think you've dropped your tone somewhere.
2. I Don't Like Mondays by Boomtown Rats. Most banal tune sung in a cruddy voice for what is actually a very dark subject matter.
3. D'Ya Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart. This from a man who, at the time, was thirty-three years old and wearing spandex whilst rocking a shaggy mullet. Maybe he was being ironic. I hope he was being ironic, otherwise: eeeeuuuuuwww!
4. Amazing by Alex Llloyd. If it's so amazing, why does it feel like I'm coming out of anaesthetic when I hear it?
5. True Blue by John Williamson. This jingoistic junk sucks hippo poop at the rate of knots. It wasn't I who posted it, but it certainly resonated with many members of the group, who also loathe it.
6. US Forces by Midnight Oil. Not one of mine, but I totally understand why it was posted. Garrett always sounds like he's dry heaving when he sings.
Oh well, I must away. Back soon. Luv yas all.
