Today’s excursion: Lunar New Year festival in Footscray

Today was hot. It involved retreating to Green on Sydney Rd to avoid cooking for ourselves.

Channelling my inner Dame Edna with some (slightly heat stressed) gladdies I got from the Dandenong Markets this weekend.

italians brought us the subtle flavours and balance of bocconcini cheese which compliments fresh salads and pasta and welcomes/soaks up other flavours from the plate.  in australia, we have a big ol’ fuckwit cheese-ball with a clear ‘stop the boats’ agenda on what is essentially a cronulla race riot of jatz.  i call this: ‘the tony abbott salad’.

“A cronulla race riot of jatz” = my new favourite collective noun

NB. those aren’t jatz, but the joke still stands

Cartoon by David Pope of The Canberra Times. I agree with dog that this is one of the greatest Australian cartoons of all time.

Will Grant: “If I was Prime Minister I’d force the Australian War Memorial to commemorate the war between settler / indigenous Australia. Of course, I’d then only be Prime Minister for 15 minutes. But it’d be a blast.”

I also want to give a huge thanks to Passion Pictures and our producers Ryan Goodwin-Smith and Jen Coatsworth, and also the people at Winkreative for the giving us the chance! Also to Elizabeth Ito and Chris Mitchell for kindly lending their storyboarding expertise! Can’t wait to work on another project like this :)

Makes me want those Persol sunglasses still. MMMMMmaterialism.

Today I was at an organic food/crafty goods market and I got all carried away with the upcycle vibe and this reminded me of my nanna’s linen drawer and I got nostalgic and I bought it.

Those upcyclers sure know how to hypnotise vulnerable browsers.

I spent today at AdaCamp, a gathering of women in open tech and culture. I was repping Byte Into It, and I learnt a buttload. Thanks, Ada Initiative!

I truly do live in the best city on this side of the globe, no doubt about that.
