Blogging lite
Blogging will be light for the next who-knows-how-long owing to an ever-growing inbox.
My primary focus will be study — trawling through the archives of the Battye Library. At present I’m trying to work out how serious was the Albany District Council’s threat to secede from the Australian Labor Federation in 1915. They weren’t happy that Joe Swebleses was removed as a trustee of the Metropolitan Council for being allegedly pro-German. In his Esplanade orations, he dared to question the veracity of some of the tales of German atrocities against French and Belgian civilians. He also hinted that every army committed atrocities. But worst of all, he mentioned that he didn’t like the King, and referred to the Union Jack as “the —— flag.” Those old debates are so very familiar…
I’ve also got work, preparations for my trip to Brisbane and Melbourne, and a court appearance next Tuesday. The police still haven’t provided any information to my lawyer, despite several months having elapsed since the alleged offence. I’m going to view the police video tomorrow (assuming they get their shit together).
Oh, and I’m also playing Grand Theft Auto 3 (I like New York better than Miami, so Vice City seemed pointless) on my PC, and NBA Live 2003 on Gamecube.
I’m still struggling through Splinter Cell on XBox. I fucking suck at XBox games man, too many years of using a keyboard.
You gotta play Vice City, if only for the pimping music.
Yeah GTA3 is set in the ’70s whereas Vice City is a parody of 1980’s America.
The ad’s on the radio are great. Here are 2 examples…
