Goodbye Sushi & hello Maisy!

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

It was a sad day on Thursday when the lovely Simon had to reluctantly euthanise Sushi, his cat of 20 years.

The poor girl was suffering from arthritis, and also had a skin cancer on her nose, which was not very pleasant for her. She will be sadly missed.

Of course, the best way to deal with the loss of a treasured pet is to get a new one. As Simon left the vet’s consulting room without Sushi, he was immediately attracted to a beautiful black kitten which was in the vet’s cage ready for adoption. The vets had called her “Erica” – but Simon had been dreaming about the name “Maisy” – so she instantly became Maisy Erica Zinka Arabella Fifi Leanne Wood.

Below are some photos of Maisy – who hasn’t been shy at all. Such a snuggler!

What the hell is going on here?

I nearly gagged into my hanky when I saw this unique fashion statement from LaToya Jackson, who is currently a contestant in the sixth series of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.

I mean, really. Those breasts and that jumpsuit. It’s a fucking outrage.

Summadayze & Underworld

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Yesterday, I went to see Underworld play live at Summadayze 2009 on the Perth Esplanade. I last saw the band at the Big Day Out in Melbourne in 1999 – and was so impressed, I just had to see them again. The last time they came to Perth was 25 years ago when they were Underworld Mk I (remember Underneath The Radar?).

The band put on an awesome live show – with huge inflatable logs that were lit up inside and the highlight was during “Born Slippy” when they released huge white balloons into the crowd. Unfortunately, the Fremantle Doctor got hold of them and they ended up away from the Underworld punters in front of the stage – but they still loved it!

Below are some photos & a video that I shot with my trusty Nokia 6120C – they’re not the best quality – but it gives you an idea of what the show was like.
