Discovering

(Or rediscovering) Hamlet - Nicki Greenberg's beautiful new version, thanks to the fabulous Snarkattack, who invited me along to see Nicki talk about the creative process behind the book.

Eating

  • An enormous serve of bangers'n'mash and a nourishing pint of Kilkenny at the Town Hall one dismal Tuesday evening.
  • A "Chachi" - chianina meatball sandwich - another brioche donut and some amazing chocolate tart at Beatrix, which Essjay has reviewed.
  • A lazy Sunday lunch at The Crimean. The Polish hunter's stew (bigos) was just the thing to revive me after a chilly bike ride.
  • Generous piles of fried food with oodles of chillies and sichuan peppercorns at Sichuan House
  • Succulent suckling pig at Liberteene.
  • An array of bright, zesty flavours at Chin Chin, where the only problem was having to choose only some of the items from what looks to be a menu that is all hits, no filler.

Annoying the World’s Youth, one T-shirt at a time

What a fabulous idea:

Anti-World Youth Day t-shirts are selling fast, following the NSW government’s ban on ‘annoying’ pilgrims. Take a look at some of the most popular slogans.

- You can fine me $5,500… But I still won’t believe in God

- WYD08: We close 300 roads so 300,000 can close their minds

- Good luck Pope – I’ve been waiting for a miracle at Randwick for years

- “and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who wear t-shirts that cause annoyance or inconvenience…”

- I survived a Christian Brothers education

- Oh no, I stepped in Dogma

- Too many Christians, not enough lions – Randwick 2008

- annoying & inconvenient

- I’ve been touched by the Catholic Church, so where’s my $2 billion?

- World Youth Day: You can cross yourself, but not the city

Ah, the rewards of a little bit of tag surfing. From SBS via paperbackscrawl.
