You're different, and that's bad

I have been stuffing around doing I-don't-know-what-but-it-sure-was-dull for the last while, which means I have not had a chance to post anything. As if there were much point, my turd-like effusions cause very little ripple in great blog toilet bowl. But I suppose in the absense of interest or excitement a routine is what we have to fall back on. So, to promote regularity, here is an update about life in Dunedin.

Possibly the most thrilling tale would be the descent of such actors as Naomi Watts and Hugh Jackman on our humble olde towne. One gets the impression that Naomi may still be a bogan at heart, I heard she was spotted in the Maclaggan St. Warehouse. Pursuing a bargain no doubt, before repairing to the number one shoe warehouse. I don't know where she was staying but given that example of slumming it I suppose she may have dipped a toe in the Dunedin accomodation cess pit. I can imagine her shieking "I demand the room Gwyneth Paltrow stayed in!" at Corstorphine house.
Hugh Jackman, on the other hand, seems to have recoiled from our fetid shores, electing instead to stay on a multiple million dollar yacht. Yacht is such a disappointing nomer though, I think we should call it a PLEASURE CRAFT.

Local celebrities have suffered under the introduction of these exotic species. However they have fought back valiently with some displays of their own. I was treated to one last Saturday. This included an exegesis on privations and breakdancing in 1984. Sniffing glue on the streets, roving crews, sleeping under bridges...a time when I would have paid a weeks wages for this sock *brandishes grey looking long sock* THIS WAS THE SOCK OF ABUNDANCE! I was also treated to a display of breakdancing, don't worry we cleared the furniture, and learnt a new handshake fresh out of South D ("gimme some syndrome"). Ahhhh, the peculiarity of people. It's strangeness like this that makes an evening, thought I could have done without the domestic sniping.

Also so a few blasts from the past out, but I will have to fish for more details about them at another time. Subtly, because I can't allow certain people to know that I am curious. I'd hate to get a reputation as a gossip mogul.
