Man being unemployed is boring. Looking for jobs is boring, applying or them is boring, waiting to hear back from them is 10 kinds of boring and so forth. The fact it’s 35 degrees in Brisbane today means going outside without sweating half to death is impossible and it’s not like I have anything to do outside of the house anyway (except for spending money which we all know is a BAD IDEA when you’re unemployed).

Luckily though my place has air-con and the internet has decided to be full of interesting and hilarious stuff this afternoon. So without further ado, some links!

• Things Bogans Like. This makes sense if you’re Aussie or very familiar with all things Australian. Otherwise it will probably get lost on you. It’s also a hilarious re-do of Stuff White People Like which makes it even funnier. #17 is so, so true.
• Hello Kitty Hell. I know so many guys who HATE Hello Kitty. I don’t get why because I think Hello Kitty is eight kinds of amazing but I guess it may be something to do with the overt girlishness of it all. This site makes me laugh because of the poor guys reaction to all things Hello Kitty and also because it reveals to me products I didn’t know existed and now totally want!
• Photobomb has been around for ages but I go back and visit it now and then for the laughs. This one cracked me up!
• People of Walmart is my favourite site of all at the moment. It boggles my mind that these people are real. Sure, we have bogans in Australia who get about in some fairly nasty stuff but holy shit! I have never seen obese woman shopping in their underpants or excessively hairy men in nothing but short-shorts and mesh tops. And let us hope I never do, either.

Bangs would like to take u 2 da movie!

And on a final and less silly note, ya’ll should check out The Dead Walk Pool which is a collection o images, articles, videos and notes about the Brisbane Zombie Walk as organised by Gary Kemble from ABC Online who spent a lot of the day of the walk with us and did many interviews with myself, Anthony and Lara. If you have anything you want to upload, please do!

OK so I soon realised my internet presence is pretty weak (damn full times jobs and their limited access to the internet). So this will be more of a random thing, as opposed to a weekly thing as I’d hoped.

• Not Quite Nigella is a wonderful blog by a Sydney girl who is obsessed with food. She bakes and cooks and posts pictures and recipes, as well as reviews food wherever she goes. It’s all so delicious.  I am the worst cook ever, so much so I stuffed up my first batch of these! Oh yeah, I am that bad! I just usually admire other peoples skills on the internet instead.
• I was going to write my own blog about this very thing, but someone beat me to it: How to be supportive of someone on a diet. Non-dieters have no idea how hard it can be to diet. If you’re on a diet, show this to the people in your life who don’t quite “get it” because it’ll make a world of difference!
• I rediscovered the Perry Bible Fellowship and spent the last week or so laughing about skub. Seriously, it cracks me up constantly. In fact I have that comic as my desktop at work and it makes me chuckle every morning. I also plan to get the Unicorn Power shirt one of these days.
• This is what it would be like to swim with a blue whale. It breaks my heart to think these poor creatures are endangered.
• When I first heard about the Eminem and Bruno stunt I was gullible enough to think Eminem had really been that pissed off. Then I was told it was all set up and was happy again. I love Eminem (shhh!) so it was a great relief!
• Some sound advice about chick and lad mags. Every time I read something like Woman’s Day I want to throw it out a window in a fit of rage. Lad mags don’t worry me as much simply because 90% of their readers would never, ever have a chance in hell of pulling any of the hot girls in any of those magazines. Reading them does tend to make me feel like a big of a while though :/
• I was told it was common but I never heard of anyone else being allergic to mangoes. But then I did some research and realised I’m not the only one! I don’t eat mangoes any more. Screw having to eat fruit with gloves after someone else removed the skin ffirst! No fruit is worth that much effort, even mangoes!
• And lastly, Blueprint has a new website. His blog is great – go check it out!

And now we have the YouTube section of this post:

• Guy dancing at Sasquatch Festival. This is one reason why I love music festivals. Good times.
• Philipino boys dance to “Single Ladies”. This is so cute! I got a lecture from ym best friend who is Filo about how these boys are probably being groomed to become go-go dancers in Japan (aka male prostitutes) but I can’t resist cute kids doing cute things!
• Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Version. I can’t decide if I love this more than the literal version of “Take on me”. Classic!

• Lucie Boshier. I found this from another blog today and found it fascinating. A “contraversial” NZ fashion designer and sex blogger.
• The Baseballs. This German bands covers modern pop songs but makes them into fabulous 50s songs. I am so in love with them!
• Top 10: Subtle ways to tell her she’s getting fat. What a crock of shit. How about being supporting and honest, you stupid slimeballs?! And don’t for one minute think a woman is ever dumb enough not to see your hidden agenda’, especially when it comes to weight.
• Fat Abuse… The last “acceptable” prejudice. Again in the weight department – this is something I feel very strongly about. I may be one of those people who obsesses over their weight and has never technically been more than a little bit overweight but it deeply offends me when people attack overweight/obese people.
• Doe Deere talks sex. I’m not sure that Australia did ban lady Gaga’s new clip but otherwise this was a nice blog about the joys of sex.

• You’re Haunting This House With Your Whiteness, Brian! Or, My Mom Is Unintentionally Hilarious. For some reason I also find the fact Stewie talks a lot creepier than how Brian talks.

• Queen of the Trailer Park. She  makes cool shit, is a new mummy and is making trashy classy!

• Geek Tyrant. For all your up and coming film trailer needs (and other geeky stuff). A Humpty Dumpty film? Oh dear god!
