5 cups blended oatmeal
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder.

Country delights
We all laugh about the country and living here. But sometimes things are just a little bit wrong.
A well known festival about some famous Bard is annually held in a nearby town. The sound of a traditional Tudor Banquet with food, wine & entertainment sounded good enough for V & I, and the fact that Crockett would be there (and his lovely family) and we would enjoy ourselves to the max.
But Richard III, watery soup in a shallow bowl and a MEAT PIE was just ridiculous. Vman was so mad I thought he'd punch the table, and I was so mad I just HAD to eat the MEAT PIE to get our $30 a head money's worth. Total Shit. And what's with the AMATEUR theatre company (but they are from melbourne, so they must be unreal) doing totally shit shakespeare (some couldn't even pronounce their lines er er art thou)? Richard the Third is so very bland and boring.
Anyways, we laughed and laughed and laughed and left at half time. Ha Ha.
While Sat. night was so annoying, last night was brilliant, laughing and 'conversations' at K&G's in Briag. K's so funny - and Vman gave him the Cabaret photos he got framed up and K couldn't stop smiling, his eyes were twinkling. Cute!

Little Britain Hater
I have found someone who doesn't find Little Britan funny - well I don't really know the person at all - It's a blogger - and... well... I can't believe it!
Ausculture writes: I don’t get the Little Britain phenomenon, I really don’t. I sat down and watched it one day and literally managed a half-smirk twenty minutes into it - and that’s all. It just strikes me as… oh, what’s the word… shit? Yes, that’s it. Utterly overrated.
And, as I'm going through mixed emotions (as always when I read other people's blogs - I should just stop) - I thought I'd complain about SOMEONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS. Ummmahhh.
I've never really done that before, and as you know I'm no big whinger or big writer and everytime I read other people's blogs I get narky and want to write a lot in mine.
I wonder if working in radio has changed my opinion of text full stop. It's not necessary in my work that much, and when I do have to write something down for a script or for an email I become the procrastinator of the nation.
So, I'm in love with Little Britain and will watch it over and over because I love it so. Another thing: Ausculture's site is sponsored by google ads and there was an ad telling me to go buy Little Britain tickets when they tour the UK.

American Jobs
Am I sick of work already?
Well, I've only been back for 7 days - I suppose that's long enough to be annoyed by particular managers who have been demoted and still earn twice as much as me. (who was complaining about not having enough money to donate to the tsunami appeal.)
So here is a list of websites that have lists of jobs overseas. (because there are NO jobs in Melbourne advertised that are worthy enough)
Craig's List
Public Radio Market Place
Minnesota Public Radio
California Chicano News Media Organisation
National Broadcasters Training Network
California Broadcasters - There are heaps of jobs here!
And for the guys who need a union and don't know where to turn to ::: Alliance Inquiry Desk 1300 65 65 12

No War
I want to scream it into the face of everyone at the moment.
Although I don't want to go into details here, those of you who know what happened maybe can understand. My brother has made all his own decisions, and now it seems people have mistook them for my or my family's decisions.
I'm a lovely nice person, and I like it when people are comfortable around me and we are friends.
But I am sick to death of being someone else's sister - who chose to go to war. I'm sick to death of talking about 'old war tales' with people I hardly know. And I'm sick to death of the future of this country, even though the future hasn't even arrived. Sick to death of it.
Without mum and dad being here - I am the family. I am the brave face and the voice and the understanding. And that's why I've been sick, that's why I had a cold sore and couldn't make out with my boyfriend; I have too much responsibility.
It's been good being sick though, being away from work, watching buffy (series 7), watching buffy with the commentary. something i haven't done before!
Anyways, I'm sorry to be a grumpy guts but I just want to yell somewhere that's not in the backyard (grandma will hear), and i don't think i can yell into the phone at the defence force because it's not there fault.
There you go.

Election Day - what a drag
Oh well, at least it's a chance to be part of a democracy - even it's only ONE day every three-four years. Now what I'm hanging for is to see how many Greens get into the Senate - woopee!!!
At the moment I'm reading through Ms Fits blog to check out what she's thinking about the last week of the campaign. Her taxi driver survey seems pretty good - let's see though. It's past six so, you buggers who forgot/too busy/lazy have lost the power completely. Damn Damn Damn. The Herald Sun says "Too Close to Call" and The Age says "Howard for another few years". Damn Damn Damn.
Exciting stuff.
V-man is asleep downstairs and M&D are hanging and cooking. I'm getting hungry and should sit down to watch how Tasmania is voting so far - their polls closed an hour ago. Darling V-man drove down to see me today, worked his arse off at work earlier today. I'm hungover and tried very hard to tell Daniel NOT to vote Nationals when we headed in today to vote - what a funny mix we were - Daniel, Ned and Meals (me of course) - If only one in three people voted coalition things might turn out ok. Damn Damn Damn!!!

Babies
According to both major political parties their leaders won the big debate last night.
The best quote I heard on the radio this morning (apart from the 'boring' line in today's australian) was our 18 year old political commentator saying he almost fell asleep. And this guy LOVES his politics, especially public speaking.

I love ms fits
Once again dreaming I'm somewhere overseas, writing how Ms Fits (i put a link up on the right hand nav!) does (hilarious, especially now that we have an election on) and being warm warm warm warm. I thought that springtime was pleasant here. Somehow I forgot.
Anyways, I've been busy this week getting back into work from being away. I really had a great time overseas, catching all my besties who have fled this awful country. Everyone was great and I wish I could have stayed longer. I could have stayed much longer because I after I arrived I correctly checked my bank account balance and it looked hardly touched. What was I thinking? Vincent said he wouldn't have come back with a cent. And it's the truth!
So. We have such a horrid country here at the moment that in Jakarta just today there was a bomb outside the Australian Embassy. The news reports are still counting the victims and injured. I can't even imagine how John Howard will use this to his advantage in the polls. But all I do know is that Mark Latham has been in Bundaberg with a room full of whingers all with 'cries for help''cries for help'. At least they liked him there. I'd watch out for that free gift (a bottle of wine) if I were him.
p.s. i've been using the html editor the entire time here and have now tried the compse tab. Pretty neat maybe?
