Brain fluff

I'm a little distracted, a little here, a little there right now...

So I'll give you a taste of what it's like to live with my brain:

Kovco: I think (both) Mrs Kovco are discovering that sometimes it is good to be careful what you wish for...

Kokoda: Paternalism, Colonialism... We seriously need to get over ourselves. Stat!

Nose Piercings: Coming along quite nicely - infection shortlived. Am deliriously happy. Am particularly chuffed that Miss M wants to get her nose done.

Easterfest08: I wanna goooo..... But I can't. Hopefully MrB will be able to take the Big Girls, but logistics are a serious bitch.

Rudd: Awesomeness personifed. Plus, also 1 Cor 13 shout-out! yayness to the extreme...

SYTYCDA: *sob* *sigh* the weight of disappointment... Man! I'm as needy as bloody Vanessa...

Yum Cha: There is a serious BBQ pork bun shaped hole in my life...

Charlie Brooker: Making me embrace my inner pom.

So, how you doin?

KR: I'm going to reserve my judgement. Looks like a lot of fluff at the moment. 'Sorry' was good, but seriously overdue. How he handles the inevitable issues arising from this will be the measure of the man.
Kokoda: Yeah, well maybe the locals want the Ca$h now, but the general rule is that very little of that wealth flows back to the communities, and they have to deal with the follow on effects of land degradation, pollution, intra-tribal jealousy and conflict caused by their increased 'wealth' (doesn't take much for a PNG village to appear wealthy to their next door neighbour). It's more about the mining compay getting the villagers to agaitate on their behalf. How many politicians in PNG have this company paid off already, and could this money have been put into the grassroots level striaght up. Is there an alternative. Kokoda brings tourist $$ and always will. Do you know how much foreign aid Australia gives to PNG every year? Maybe there is something other than 'paternalism' or racism at stake here?
SYTYCDA: Yawn, next.
Piercings: Miss M wants one? Hmmm, not sure that I like that idea. Bulls started the nose piercing thing. No one gives them credit for it.
Kovco: Some people just don't want to know what really happened. They want the world to conform to what they think happened, or want to believe happened, and yes, I agree maybe they're finding out that the truth can be ugly and dirty. I don't thinkShelley really wants this though, my understanding is that it is more at the behest of Mrs Kovco Snr. But may be wrong. Has happenedbefore.

maybe I don't. It's just my opinion. Their own politicians are their worst enemy...

My nose ring came out in my sleep the other day. Blood everywhere. Not quite sure how that happened.

It has now taken three days for it to grow over. I am going to have to get it redone when next in Amsterdam (as it's cheaper than here in London). And possibly my tongue. Hmmmmm.

Mex - I do. Ask the Child - she's seen it.
And yum cha - lets get this thing happening baby...

OMel - I sleep in fear of this happening... seriously - I keep waking up just to check it's still there.

TC - mmm.... yum cha.

ponder this - I'll concede that his awesomeness could be interepreted as patronising. But greatness does that sometimes!
