things I don’t like
People who describe items of their clothing as “pieces”. I’m thinking mainly of people who have themselves photographed in MX magazine saying things like “I’m a vintage shop kinda girl. I like to find great unique pieces”. What this usually means is they wear exactly the same allegedly trendy, unflattering rubbish everyone else does, but they desperately want to sound cool.
People who says they “have a passion for fashion”. See above.
Dogs who whine and beg to be walked, pull your arm out of your shoulder socket in the first 5 minutes, but who can’t keep the pace up for more than 20 minutes. I made my sad excuse for a dog run 3km last night and I had to practically carry her for the last 2.8km and then give her mouth to mouth at the end.
People who work at cafes who ask you for your name. It totally steps over the line in the customer-barrista relationship.
Connex customer relations officers who stand with arms crossed, glowering, in a line across the barriers at Parliament station in the morning like they’re in the Gestapo.
People who call themselves “barrista”.
Catherine Deveny. To quote a particularly under-rated poet (Axl Rose) “I used to love her, but I have to kill her”. She was pretty funny about 12 months ago, in a straight-talking, tell it like it is way. Now, she’s just descended to far into contempt-for-fellow-man territory. See her latest article if you dare.
Packed to the rafters: I can’t work out why this show is so offensive to me. Is it the incessant cheeriness? Is it Michael Caton? Is it the awful musical stings they have at the end of each scene?
Kevin Rudd: the only thing I ever liked about him was that he wasn’t John Howard. Now, it’s starting to dawn on me that there are 20-odd million people just in Australia who also aren’t John Howard, therefore it’s probably not such a claim to fame. He’s smug, and prissy, and too full of his own intelligence, but nothing worthwhile actually gets done.
Running
Just a little one last night with the slow dog (sorry Sara - I don’t mean to steal your gag). I’ll try to run tonight.
The only thing PTTR has going for it is that a couple of the girls are pretty cute, but it probably isn’t enough, is it?
Worse still, people who describe items of clothing, jewellery or accessories as “Statement Pieces”, as in “and you can complete the outfit with a statement necklace” Huh!?
I was so jealous of the Yanks when Obama got in, I want an Obama too, politics in this country is terminally boring, Coma patients have more personality than Krudd and Turnball.
lol-theres hte old jh back then!!!!! hehe
I normally love Catherine D but I thought she went over the top this week- but I was worried that I was just sensitive because I feel quite comfortable at Chadstone- and I never get lost.
Sounds like we could swap slow dogs and then everyone would be happy!
