It's official...

Jarrad, you put in a good effort, and came a close second, but I'm afraid Liz wins.

So I am cheerful today!

In other news:
* Perhaps I haven't told you recently, so a summary: I think Kale is pretty excellent.
* Treehugger continues to delight me, and full me with lust for material things. Ah well. The contradictions of life.
* Kale and I are going to see a play about Tesla tonight. Hurrah!
* I was going to cycle to Leederville last night, and discovered that my front tyre had kind of exploded (?) I take this as a sign that my bicycle wants more love, which I shall attempt to give it once I get back from Thailand.

Tristram Shandy was a pretty alright movie. There are better critics than me out there, so I shan't attempt a thorough treatment. But, some stuff I liked:
* that a lot of the time, the entire cinema would be silent except for the eight or so of us sitting in a row, laughing 'til we ... cried.... a little.
* there was a baby in it! possibly even two!
* a tiny actor upside down in a mock-up womb.
