A Slice of Blog

ebribodi bin make me proud tudei. ebribodi bin dum rili gud job tudei.

Ever see someone blog in kriol before? Read a bit of Alawa? Well here's your chance! The thing that I love most about this blogger is that his everyday work is quite extraordinary. Culture continues to be threatened and, although there isn't any explicit prohibition of speaking traditional languagues, there's still the problem of John Howard, not to mention the more local obstacles.

I first met this guy on my first tour with Bangarra to Brisbane in 2003, after being initially shocked at meeting someone outside of the NT that has intimate knowledge of Katherine. Since then, we've kept in contact; it's good to have a mate to hang out with when I'm visiting the family at home.

PostSecret.
Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.

JPB turned me on to this one quite recently. There's a similar site that's also allows people to confess secrets but this one shows off other people's creativity as well. Whether or not these confessions are actually true is something else but it looks interesting, I'll be back.

Mashup of the Week Podcast.
Hey - back for another serving of Mash? Well we've always got plenty o' that for ya.

You can never OD on Mash. Trust me...

Miss McDonald.
The Miss McDonald project began as a Halloween costume...

Filipinos are funny, aren't they? This is truly bizarre and quite funny, especially the really mundane ones like when Miss McDonald goes to the dentist or when she cleans up the yard.

Random thoughts and occasional interesting information... but mainly random thoughts.
The thing about these blogs I like is these people have a purpose. And whatever shit happens to them along the way, they are still on the way to something.

I lived with Nina in Perth for three years when we were both going to WAAPA and it's good to see her out there in the world... somewhere... She's a singer, she's a creative type of person, and she likes a good drink.
