Whatever happened to Greg?

Is it just me....or does Lou Reed have a remarkable resemblance to Barry Williams A.K.A Greg Brady?
And is it just me or have you never seen them in the same room before?
And is it just me or do you remember that Greg had a rock'n'roll dream and went by the stage name of Johnny Bravo once or twice?
And is it just me or when you put the names Lou Reed and Johnny Bravo into google, you actually get some results...I mean....is it just me or is that way too much of a coincidence?

I know you are but what am I?

I have been out of sorts this week. Not ill. Not upset. Not the same. Out of sorts. I love expressions like that. Ones that mean exactly what you want to express. I am out of sorts.

My road rage is up higher than usual, I have had 2.5 headaches and I feel a little whingey. I actually found myself shedding a tear over the "Home and Away" trailer - looking back at Sally's life and the big question of "will she survive?" AND I DON"T EVEN WATCH IT!!!!! Random phone calls, left messages, texts not replied to - these have left me in a muddle, too many choices and lack of IT expertise have meant I still have not purchased a computer and my inability to produce an authentically stereotypical Italian accent have made way for one or two anxiety episodes. Oh it may sound trivial to you dear reader, but this is my life dammit!

On the flip to that however, our return (by "our" I am referring to the cast of Scrabble Unscripted) to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has been confirmed and accommodation even booked! Brilliant. Now I just need to break the news to my employers.

I am reaching that fork in the road, where I know the job may have to go. (Not before I have purchased a damn laptop though!) I think I am being looked over for things because I have to work....and being out of the loop is both frustrating and destructive....because when you are out of the loop, you start thinking about all the things you are missing, but really, its only your imagination, because of course, since you are out of the loop, you have no real idea of whats happening in the loop - and more than likely, what you have imagined is going to be so much more dramatic than the truth....but you will never know, because you are out of the loop....

And out of sorts.

Praise be!

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov 23 - Dec 21)
'Put on a happy face.' 'Smile though your heart is breaking.' 'Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag and smile, smile, smile.' The songwriters are unanimous. The thing to do when you find yourself in times of trouble is to let it be. To some extent this puts them in direct conflict with the psychotherapists who are strongly of the opinion that emotions must be honestly expressed at all times. Whose advice should you take? It doesn't much matter. Soon your problem will be fixed!

And I thought I was going to have to change the landing lightbulb myself!

End of an Era

And so that is that.

Since May 2006, I have made it my mission to watch The West Wing - all 7 seasons. Its been tough going, there have been kidnappings, assassination attempts, romances, divorces terrorist attacks, near misses, late night bill debates,births, deaths, marriages, campaigns, hotel rooms, State of the Unions and a whole lot of political stuff I tried to understand but never will.

And now, I have come to the end of season 7. That's 7 years in 7 months. I have laughed, cried, bitten my nails, gnashed my teeth throughout the Bartlett administration...and now there is only one thing to do....

Get a life.
