Everybody's random stuff

Si le viol, le poison, le poignard, l'incendie,
N'ont pas encore brodé de leurs plaisants dessins
Le canevas banal de nos piteux destins,
C'est que notre âme, hélas! n'est pas assez hardie.

N'ont pas encore brodé de leurs plaisants dessins

Je suis desole. Je ne parle pas francais. Parlez-vous anglais, s'il vous plait?

If rape, poison, the dagger, fire,
Have not embroidered their pleasant designs
The outline of our common destiny poor,
It is our soul, alas! is not bold enough.

Quoi? Je ne comprends pas.

If rape and poison, dagger and burning,
Have still not embroidered their pleasant designs
On the banal canvas of our pitiable destinies,
It's because our souls, alas, are not bold enough!

From one of the greatest French poets ever - Charles Baudelaire in Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil).

Les Fleurs du mal is a classic. I don't understand it either.

Another round? Deutsch? Goethe?

Mein Deutsch ist bad. I mucked up a lot in my compulsory Yr 8 German classes. (If only I knew that years later I would have such crushes on my German backpacker mates, damn! )

Italiano, per favore. Mia italiano e molto bene.

It might have been the suggestion that Mr Bean was on his way over?

Did Peter pick the pickled peppers for that turkey?

Random stuff? Surely this is a polite understatement...

These are fair dinkum CD covers.

It's a bit of a running joke amongst Austrians and a dig at American tourists.

I nearly bought a t-shirt in Salzburg that said "no kangaroos in Austria".

I nearly bought a t-shirt in Salzburg that said "no kangaroos in Austria".

From what I saw, pretty much every souvenir shop in Austria had ordered those shirts in bulk.

The most interesting thing I heard travelling around Spain was that Australians speaking Spanish have no discernable accent.

And that all the majority knew about Austria was kangaroos (always accompanied with a hopping gesture).

In other news, I got a haircut today.

First one in 20 years, the hairdressers all stood around me while it was done (yes it was a slow day at the hairdressers).

It's so wierd, I keep thinking there's something at the back of my head, but it's just the wind blowing on my neck, dont remember how that felt.


Now I'm just one of the crowd.

God, any chance of putting up some photos of that. Gotta see it!

I'm having a teleconference with my lil sis at 6 who is dying to see it, I'll get some stills from it.

The hairdresser was Korean and her grasp of English was fragile. She asked me if I wanted it 'shaved' and I said no. Apparently she was trying to say 'shaped'. She also said I had very 'fat' hair. What she meant to say was I had very 'flat' hair because the weight of my hair has flattened all the follicles.

Poor girl, asked three times how I wanted it 'styled' and I could do naught but give her a blank look. Do I seem like a man who knows anything about style? She wanted to shave my goatee off too, but I said baby steps for now.

How long was your hair? Down to knees?

Does hair keep growing and growing or does it reach a finite length and stops growing longer?

 

[Rawhead]

From this:

Sorry bout the shirtlessness, but I have very few pictures of myself showing the hair, and I think this one was to an ex-girlfriend or something.


to this:

Yes, yes I do sit in my living room wearing a lions jersey.



bears2lions: Hair was bout to my waist, it grew to that length and then pretty much stayed there. I think there is a limit to how long most people can grow their hair cause the follicle is only strong enough to support only so much weight.

People from ethnic backgrounds have incredibly thick hair though, so I think the sky is the limit for them.


I miss my hair
