Aperçus of Paranoid Times

When the head is indistinguishable from the body

Jimmy Weasel - Thursday, 12 August 2004 - 13:04:02

Events of a strange new era are starting to converge (as discussed earlier) into a disturbing reality. Within two days of each other, seperate news updates from other sources are released—each to feed on each other, and the minds of the feeble. The primer is a puff piece from out of left-field about how truly magnificent lives are with a hybrid car. The second is authorless paranoia that screams of the grim prospect of certain tripling fuel prices. The intended effect of this combination is clearly to encourage a mass hysteria upon those who can not or will not shift their paradigms into gear. The cynical must now be aware of the great mind bend that is being sought by anyone who raises their hand for a slice of this manipulative pie.

Up the duff at $3000 a throw

Jimmy Weasel - Thursday, 1 July 2004 - 12:57:05

Today is July, and the First Day of the Government funded baby-shower. As at midnight, all parents of newborns will receive a $3000 bribe to ensure the ageing populace has enough taxpayers to fund their ageing hips. Mainstream media is awash with stories about how the money will be squandered by those "unaccustomed" to it, and also of people endangering their unborn children's lives by simply "keeping their legs together until the wishing hour".

Universe in a Tea Cup, Chickens from the Pantry

Ethan Switch - Thursday, 3 June 2004 - 10:32:59

Clearly intent on rummaging clean through the refuse of trendy terrorism mentions, newly crowned Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins stepped out on her first day of promotion. A Universe controlled from the United States with nary an eyeball cast upon others of international bread roasting quality.

Popping Those Pills as You Cook with Gas

Ethan Switch - Monday, 31 May 2004 - 10:58:52

Conventional ovens heat the theory that the U.S. actually govern the oil reserves sumping the Middle East. Lining the trays with reflective aluminium foil is the belief that the barons that stand together as OPEC are nothing more than C-grade actors of appropriate appearance. This leads some to think that the rotating spit of cries on rising oil prices is a sure sign of cahoots found sleeping with the parties. Or that the stock in Hybrid car manufacturing is held long with an option to buy out the world later on.

The Power of Suggestion - Today: The Hybrid; Tomorrow: You?

Jimmy Weasel - Thursday, 20 May 2004 - 10:05:32

As time passes, the obvious emerges. The obvious, in this case, has been developed to obscure the rest. The rest, of course, being what can be described as "the unproven agenda." While it's widely assumed that certain military actions are about oil, it should be noted that the bigger picture contains an emission-reduced focal point. A product will sell better in suited conditions, and a well placed media hype-job on how soaring petrol prices will eat your baby around a release date seems like the ideal environment.

Moving Mounds of Dirt Made Hungry for the Juice

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 28 April 2004 - 10:46:32

Murmurs surfaced in the previous week when speculation of the prime rib status of an attack on Sydney's electrifying juice. Allegations Faheem Khalid Lhodi was plotting to bomb the national power grid certainly weren't helpful in the view of keeping the terrorists at bay. First in The Australian and confirmed by Federal Attorny-General Phillip Ruddock, Lodhi was being monitored by ASIO as the alleged terrorist, through the use of the pseudonym, M. Ralus, procured maps of the Sydney electricity grid, paying fond attention to the western district in particular.

Education Minister Forces Fabricated Political Alliances

Ethan Switch - Friday, 2 April 2004 - 09:31:06

The recent National Day of Action orchestrated by the National Union of Students, in opposition to the escalating rise in HECS fees, presented a few student protestors with their first eyeball taste of pepper spray. Falling out of that is the Federal Education Minister's inability to comprehend non-exisitent political alliances of NUS.

Indian Call Centres Not Australian Enough

Ethan Switch - Tuesday, 17 February 2004 - 12:51:59

Day after day after noon and the bookbound and bloodshot artists emerge from their slumber. The population eat again the visual placemats of scorn and anger as their call centres and tech support jobs move offshore to the Indian priced labour camps.

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.

Undone, unbound, the sounds aground, life's taking the train with a soundtrack of harmonic dissonance, of inner turmoils and evolutionary spotchecking.
