Aperçus of Death and Biscuits

Propping up the Aging, Dying and Voting

Ethan Switch - Friday, 12 December 2003 - 07:32:49

Death, decadence and the general destruction of body tissue. The natural state of life toward death. Recently announced by the Federal Government, $2 million to fund 14 medical research teams. Spread out across the scape of the land, the funding is expected to inject initiative and vigour, not to mean a means toward closing in on nearing that succulent teat of commercialisation.

Toying with the Mouths of Choking Hazards

Ethan Switch - Monday, 8 December 2003 - 08:32:55

Boxing Day across the country will be lesser strewn with the images of choking children no thanks to the recall and ban of a few toys. A list of which at this time seems to have more weighting toward the animal sets. Falling, breaking and chipping bits and pieces are all the signs of a toy getting the nod. Another has been the country of slave/child labour origin. News of this recycles itself every year with intent that may seem good on the outset but fails miserably in the checking of the population.

Mortality, Variety and Lower Suicide Numbers

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 3 December 2003 - 09:35:25

With the 20 million mark about to be hit by some newborn, immigrant or returning ex-pat, the ABS have taken to shedding some light on the fact that the darkness in death is scattered like the blood staining the walls of a rather messy execution murder without the proper plastic sheeting. If a killing is planned, at least put as much effort into the concealment.

Dolphins Slaughtered as Bait and Diversions

Ethan Switch - Friday, 28 November 2003 - 10:09:26

Given a new lease of power recenlty in a late night session passing some other kind of bill around, the Australian Protective Services and the Australian Federal Police. Officers are supposedly given more power to take care of Australia's airports and from acts of terrorism.

Cat Under a Hot Tinned Roof

Ethan Switch - Friday, 21 November 2003 - 08:59:10

Opening the doors of his illegally erected shed, Fenton Perry came upon a cat that had lost out the entirety of its nine lives. There, in a lump of unmoving feline mass was the carcass of the cause for many of his wondering thoughts. "Watching sheep eat pigs is fun." said Perry as he swung the cat around, shaking off the bugs and ants that had crawled their way into the orifices.

Will Writers Guild Fork Over Cash to Blind-sided

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 5 November 2003 - 08:44:13

Prospective and intentional scribbles on the backs of cereal boxes have taken hit to the crumbled wit of franchisees looking for a venture. The Federal Court recently ordered the Will Writers Guild and the director, Sidney James Murray to compensate the fleeced of $137697. There was some serious concern brought to the ACCC's attention by way of frazzled and frothing mammals known as shocked people when they, as franchisees, were then told that their will-making services were considered illegal and in breach of the Trade Practices Act.

Correction, a Nature Within the Walls

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 15 October 2003 - 04:47:28

Nature abhors a vacuum and especially those that cannot lift the weight of a five kilo bowling ball. In parallel with this phenomena is the manoeuvre of self-correction and "making things balance." As it would be the norm, high levels of gang themed violence in the news often flourish with the making of unemployment levels of a region.

Will Grim Reaper Attempt to Break Three-in-a-row?

Ethan Switch - Monday, 29 September 2003 - 07:34:58

Fate, in all its enviable wisdom and party tricks, managed late last week to cap off a double hit of singing icon deaths adding a third death to the pantheon of montages and slow memorial warbles. The death of course is none other than the rock singer Robert Palmer. He joins previously silenced Slim Dusty and Johnny Cash.

Red Riding Trilogy
This is an attempt to understand the newish British television series Red Riding. Due to the regional accents, the muttering, the byzantine plot, and that British inability to provide subtitles, I am writing a detailed synopsis to get my head around this excellent television show. In short, it is nothing but spoilers, spoilers, spoilers...
Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoƻt
Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives
Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.

Every detail makes the story worth following somewhere. Cooking up microfiction and life lessons as we review film, music, books, theatre and other aspects of culture.
It's all intrigue and conspiracy.
