people like to post images of their deceased pets on flickr. in their comments the posters often address their late pet directly, such as this one from suzukichick : “You nearly made it to 2007, boy. RIP”
there are also a number of ‘pools’, such as “in memoriam of our cats” and “loving memories” where members share pictures and console each other over the loss of their pets. like : “He gave you ten years of unconditional love.”
people also post interesting bits of information : in ancient egypt … when a cat died, the whole family and probably their closest friends, went into mourning, the measure of their personal loss signalled by their shaving off their eyebrows. (feline fancier)

in a great week for news, if you follow the australian media, pauline hanson has fallen in love with a country crooner, germaine greer’s portrait has been replaced by one of steve irwin in the national capital’s portrait gallery, and something about what’s her name … goodrem … i’ve already forgotten what
in another coup for the former leader of the one nation party, she also had her genes tested - the herald reports :
she was “amazed” and “mystified” (that) she had Middle Eastern heritage after a recent DNA swab revealed her ancestry was nine per cent of Middle Eastern origin, 32 per cent from Italy, Greece or Turkey and 59 per cent from northern Europe.
ah sweet irony

bought an interesting cd on ebay, well two cds : action time vision which collects the early music of mark p, him of sniffin glue - mostly under the moniker alternative tv and atv
oddly it is missing from the discography on his web site but this be the tracklisting - it includes the first single love lies limp which was given away as a flexidisc as part of an issue of sniffin glue

in my punk days my band played on the bill with alternative tv at a daytime festival in deptford - they were good : much better, and infinitely cooler than us - and they all had girlfriends that hung around them - later he wrote something nasty in his zine about us being from the suburbs
he he he … just imagine : back then it wasn’t cool to be from the suburbs
